This widget will give the first impression to the blog visitor from the comments/feedback that the blog has from its visitors and will boosts its content value. More valuable comments the blog has, the more valuable the content will be as per the visitor’s perspective. So it’s always a good idea to add Recent Comments widget to your blog.
