#2: Initial revision
If your website allows interaction - leaving comments etc., there is the hidden implication that someone on your behalf keeps an eye on those interaction, at least to the extent of keeping things civil, if not to the extent of answering questions like "when is the next book coming out" and "why did you write X instead of Y). If somebody is called a moron in the comments section on your site, that will hurt your sales. It doesn't matter that it wasn't you who called them a moron. If somebody starts saying that your work is in fact a hidden paedophilic message, it will hurt your sales even more, no matter how stupid the claim is. It's on your site, people see it, it stays up so it must have merit. Moderation takes time. Time is money. Can you afford the time and money required to moderate the "interaction" on your site? That seems to me the main consideration with regards to whether or not you want an interactive section.
