Gotta Love That CommentLuv!

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!

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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??

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. 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.

  11. 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)

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. 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.
