Use CommentLuv for better comments
By SOCOM Sales • Jan 19th, 2008 • Category: Marketing Tips, Monetization Strategies, SEO ToolsI just finished my daily ritual of reading my favorite sites. Tay over at Super Blogging must have added a new plugin to his site. Once I left a comment I saw that it had grabbed a feed from my site of the last post and added it. I saw that the plugin is called commentluv and once I saw this I had to have it.
Encourage Comments
Everyone that blogs knows that leaving comments is a great way to drive trafic to your site. I can not tell you how many new websites I have become a frequent reader of by clicking on the link with the commenter’s name. Some sites still have a hard time driving traffic with this but I think all in all that comments in blogs are the best way to get new visitors. Asking questions of your readers is a great way to encourage comments and I do not do enough of it. I will start to do this more often.
The truth is besides loving to see that a post was commented on, I like to see the sites of the other readers.
Reward comments
One way of rewarding comments is called link love. Bloggers that create special posts for their readers that highlight the websites of their top
commenter’s is a wonderful way of rewarding other bloggers. For blogs like mine that do not get a large number of comments (though I would love them) adding this type of plugin could give you an added bonus that will encourage more comments on your blog.
You will see this addition to the bottom of the comments section. If you have a blog and want some extra backlinks, here is your opportunity.
Are you using commentluv?

Thanks for dropping by my blog and for the link! I agree with you, commenting is one of the best ways to network and meet other bloggers, and to get your blog out there. I think CommentLuv is a fantastic plugin and helps reward your commentators and send even more traffic to them. Thanks for writing this.

You are so right about the commenluv plugin encouraging comments as well as the conversation. I have several blogs I take care of and I am getting it installed on all of them slowly but surely.

This looks like a pretty cool way to give people an incentive to leave comments.

Using the “Blogger” set-up, I can’t use CommentLuv, but at least I removed my blog’s no-follow tags on comments.

awesome little tool
I think CommentLuv may become a “spam attractor” — but it’s up to the blogger.

I think any blog can be an attractor at this stage. Heck on our hosted blog which is obviously no follow we still get bombarded with spam comments. If it’s a text box it will get hit. I think it has positive aspects in the sense that I can now see a list of articles I may want to read that I was never previously exposed to otherwise.

if you search “This blog uses CommentLuv v1.0 which will try and parse your last blog post, please be patient while it finds it for you” followed by your keywords you will find sites that are related to you and give some CommentLuv. This may see worthless, but it does help you build up a community.
Sending some CommentLuv at you.

i found out about comment luv of digital forum, they are a great way like you said to drive traffic from reputable sites,
I never thought about getting two links back when you comment on a blog with CommentLuv. Now there is more reason to comment than ever before!

This is a pretty great plugin. I’ve been a member of the Open Source community for a long time, and I feel like this is a really good step toward bringing the blogging community together.

Great article. I always love to read your articles. Keep them comming.

I’m new to blogging, but CommentLuv seems like an excellent idea. It both encourages commenters (spammers can still be moderated) and also keeps commenters’ anchor text clean, and rewards them with an extra back link.

I’ll put this one in my blog.

I like the CommentLuv plugin, I think that it’s a great reward for those who leave good quality comments on my blog. I haven’t officially installed the plugin yet, but I’m anxious to see if there is a significant increase in visitors. Thanks for the post.
Rick NHS’s last blog post..Permian Basin Home Sales Up
I am still not using it but I see many blogs do. When I finish working on SEO of my latest blog I will give it a try. What are your thoughts now, did you meet your expectations by installing it?
CommentLuv rocks

SOCOM,
I have to agree with you, I to would like more comments left but at the same time to have comments for the sake of links or simply to say “yea I agree” seems kind of silly.
Blogging is about conversation, or at least I would like to think that it is, I would like to see more of the threads go in more of a converdational way,
Could you imagine sitting at Starbucks and havin a conversation that goes the way of most blog topics, LOL, I’d feel like I was stuck out on the back fence with Hank Hill and friends
Have a great day,
Richard

Interesting!
CommentLuv helps you reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their site. This gives them improved anchor text, which can help their site rank higher in the search engine results.
You can now leave a comment with your name as well as a keyword of your choice here and get a PR5 link back to your site! How cool is that? People pay big bucks for that and all you have to do is comment here.
