Around the end of April I made a blog post referring to some cool wordpress plugins to add to your arsenal of useful stuff. One comment I had received was from Annie, who right away took advantage of the KeywordLuv plugin that I am using.
She later left a second comment recommending another great plug-in called CommentLuv. Being the type to try out new things that may be useful to me and beneficial to my readers, I decided to look into it. Thanks Annie! I’m glad I did…
CommentLuv benefits your readers by automatically inserting their last blog post title into their comment. This way, if you have a blog and you want to leave a comment, CommentLuv will scrape your last blog post and insert it into your comment. You can really benefit from useful keywords such as “internet business”.
Here’s an example of what my comment would look like on someone else’s blog using CommentLuv:

Jack Keifer on May 21st, 2008 at 3:41 pm Hi Homer, That’s a great story about your son Bart. Looks like he will be president someday! -Jack
Jack’s last blog post..A Competition Free Internet Business |
As you can see CommentLuv scraped the last blog post (in this example) from my web site which I added into the comment form. Now I have a great back link for “Internet Business” on Homer’s website, who just happens to have a PR 8.
Without CommentLuv I would only be back-linking for “Jack Keifer”. Not a very useful back-link. Sure, I could type “Internet Business” in the name field, but more than likely I would be flagged as a spammer and my comment would be deleted. Even though I left a useful comment, the blog owner may never look past the keyword stuffed name field.
CommentLuv is a great way to get back-links to your own blog with targeted keywords. To find other CommentLuv Blogs out there, you can Google using the phrase “Enable CommentLuv” + your target keyword. For example, if you wanted to find blogs related to internet marketing, you could Google for “Enable CommentLuv” + “Internet marketing”.
You will get back all the indexed CommentLuv blogs that are using CommentLuv and related to internet marketing. Now go leave some useful comments and get some nice relevant backlinks to your blog.
You can potentially generate a lot of extra traffic to your blog as well, because readers of other blogs will see your cool headline and click on it to see what you have to say.
CommentLuv is also a great way to get more people commenting on your own blog as well. Remember back when your blog was new? It probably took awhile before you got that first comment. You may not have had more than a handful of readers.
Blog posts with comments shows your visitors that you are creating interesting and useful content that people want to respond to. Comments also validate that you have a following and decent traffic which encourages others to come back and eventually contribute. This adds to the credibility of your blog.
A majority of readers rarely, if ever, comment. CommentLuv just may be a great way to encourage your readers to chime in and contribute to your blog. It’s a win-win for both the blogger and reader. Give it a try!

CommentLuv is a great little invention. It’s a nice way of rewarding people for commenting on your blog. I’m not familiar with KeywordLuv yet, so I’ll have to read your other post now

I am so liking this KeywordLuv plugin. Throw in CommentLuv and you’ve got a great way to attract comments.
Keep up the good work and writing.

I have known about CommentLuv for awhile.. and I like it.. But I really like KeywordLuv. They are such great plugins! And what a great way to reward your readers!
I’m new to blogging, but this 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. thanks for this info.

These are both brilliant plug-ins, and they certainly should bring a boost in activity. People only have so much time to spend on blogs, and you can bet anyone with even a little SEO savvy is going to spend that time on sites that provide the most value.

Fully agree with you, commentLuv is a way to reward the commenters for the time they spend to write comments.
There is also another nice plugin which is top commentaters. It will display a lit of top commentaters with the numbers of comments left. This list evolves within the time depending on the number of comments left.

I think commentluv and keywordluv really are the way forward. I have used ot on a couple of my blogs and the response is great, not only can you build a community, you also get a lot of traffic as directories love these kinds of blogs listed.
So everyone really is a winner.
Great article or as we say in Austria:- endlich einmal ein lesenswerter Artikel!
I really like Commentluv..

I love commentluv. I used it in one of my niche blog and it really spiked the frequency of someone leaving a comment.
Andre Thomass last blog post – How To Increase Response Without Changing A Word In Your Copy
This is a great way of commenting. As blog owners want to know the name and in turn rewarding commentator with keyword
Thanks!
KeywordLuv and CommentLuv are my two favorite plugins. Like everyone else, I agree that it’s nice to get rewarded with a real link, in exchange for a real comment. I think that’s what blogging and sharing/commenting is all about.
I haven’t yet used KeywordLuv, but I’ve been hearing CommentLuv is a pretty great plugin!

Comment Luv is a very useful tool for background research to add depth and breadth to blog comments as well as blog conversations
I have been using commentluv for a while and it has helped build many links to my sites.
I like comment love because it gives a little look around at what others are saying. I regularly follow comment love snippets. So keep ‘em coming. And have found some very cool blogs and bloggers that way
shane at make money bloggings last blog post – Hunting for niches? It’s hunting season!
I gotta say that comment luv is a nice plug in and has inspired many bloggers to leave comments on my blog sites. I do like the fact that you give and take. Readers give a nice comment and in turn you give them a link. Everyone wins!
I feel that this plugin encourages conversations to begin on posts especially if your blog is talking about saturated niches. Sure, I would guess that it also encourages a little more spam, but I think that the benefits outway the negatives.

I already have this plug-in on my 3 blogs, and I am thankful to receive such great comments from people I hardly knew and appreciate my article.. Spammers don’t get published of course
looking into this commentluv or keyword uv seems quite daunting, to benefit from it do you need a blog? what is the benefit if any is there to commenting on a blog with comment luv if you do not have a blog only a website??
Great articles. I have bookmarked this site. regards
what happens if i do not have a blog but i comment on blogs do i still get the benefit back to my website?
CommentLuv do bring me to your site.. interesting plugin… will get one for my blog hehe..
Melvins last blog post – From Drab to Fabulous
I agree with you, CommentLuv is a great way to reward your readers. Now I’m using Blogger, but when I’ll pass to WP it will surely be one of the first plug in I will install!
altroconsumos last blog post – Abbonamento Altroconsumo
WP is the way to go. It seems they have a plug in for just about everything. I use both WP and Blogger blogs and WP is by far the best blogging platform. The do-follow movement is the best thing for bloggers to support each other.
Jasons last blog post – Judgment Recovery And The Use Of A Bank Levy To Collect Judgments
Previously I didn’t understand what “comment luv” was, just after I became to realise what “do-follow” was. Yes, I’m still learning a lot everyday, and one very big benefit I see in Comment Luv ,is that you can get a link or two (or quite a few) from your last blog post. This should help with deep links for your blog, and help to rank your posts into Google.
Good right to the point info. You must take action and consistently work towards your internet business for it to grow and if you do it will reap great rewards.
Thanks.. Interesting – and always important to be aware!
Thank you – I’ll be sure to check back later for more of your posts.
CommentLuv is a great and most useful tool to add depth and breadth to blog comments and overall interactive discussions on blogs and blog postings
I guess the comments and luv keeps sharing so to speak
hey id like to talk with you about your blog. please email me – thanks.
Many people are worried to activate CommentLuv in their blog because of the spammers. They are worried if the spammers take advantage too much and their blog will be flooded with garbage comment. But for me, that is not a big deal. As the admin of the blog, we can always delete the comment that exploiting the advantage of the plugin. In the other hand, I always believe that anybody who knows the real benefit of the plugin will do always leave a useful comment in the blog that is using CommentLuv plugin because they want their link to be intact.
Thanks for sharing – having tried and implemented them,I think both commentluv and keywordluv are great for bloggers and commenters – Its also a great way to improve your brand too. The nofollow attribute still serves as an anchor to your site with no Search benefits.
I love comment luv … I have been commenting on blogs now for about 1 month, and gone from a PR of n/a , to a PR of 1.
Not much, but a start.
Using Comment luv is certainly a great way to build links but the new Blogger plugin might take a bit of fidling with to get it to work. Took me a while but it works now.
Hi. I’m new to commentluv, but already am loving it. As a linking strategy it is fantastic. The key drawback is that as far as linking strategies is concerned, it is still quite time consuming. I would like to thiink that Brad Callen (SEO backlink extroadinaire) or someone would develop a desktop application to do extensive searches on specific commentluv criteria + keywords and build it into the seo elite platform.- just a suggestion (hint hint)
Commentluv is a great plug however if the site owner has the nofollow tag on in the comments then it loses half of it’s value since the search engines will not follow it. I guess if people go through the comments section and click on the links I guess it’s okay.
I also like to reward sites that have commentluv and give them some ’sponsorluv’ as a means of thanks. So a couple of clickies are on the way
I enourage others to do the same.
Very nice plug-in. Every blog should have this installed and enabled by default; it would allow much better traffic exchange between websites! And the developer should definitely consider expanding the compatibility to other CMS.
I use CommentLuv and highly recommend it. It is really enjoyable when this type of project becomes available as for those of us with an intereret in seo and copywriting it solves the puzzle of links.
Thanks for the info on CommentLuv. I am really thinking about adding this to my blog
How can your commentLuv Plugin can help you, if your site is a no Dofollow blog…Install a Do follow plugin and then only ever one will be getting benefit from the links on your page.
I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts.:D
I just added you to my Google News Reader.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.
Agree commentluv is great – however, what is the benefit (or lack thereof) to setting comments to ‘no follow’?
Are blog owners afraid of draining off Google juice?
I think CommentLuv is a great idea, but it is bordering on a waste of time. I used the procedure mentioned in the post and came upon this site. What I found was that although CommentLuv seems to be active, it has been set to nofollow. This has happened on about 90% of the sites I’ve checked (including this one).
I guess a lot of people don’t check and assume that they are getting a do follow. If you don’t have it, you can grab the Firefox SEO add-on that highlights nofollow links so you don’t have to check the actual code.
Hi just thought i would let you know that i had a problem with your blog coming up frozen also. Must be monkeys in the page.
