Increase Repeat, High Quality Comments and Visitors

I just found the first best plugin for WordPress of 2008. (I found it in 2008, so it counts!)

I saw it in action today on HowtoSpoter and it is a brilliant idea. The plugin is called CommentLuv and if you scroll down this page to the comment field you’ll notice a new check box and text:

Enable CommentLuv which will try and get your last blog post, please be patient while it finds it for you

You can see it in action here. Scroll down to the comments and you will see regular comments but now you also get the last post that commentator made on their blog. See the comment by “Virginia” at bottom for example.

That is major major reward for participation!

Knowing you are going to get a link to your latest blog post, with all the keyword goodness you built into the title, tends to make you want to visit a site more.

The more people visit and comment on your site the more user generated content loaded with keyword relevance that gets added to your site. That’s a big deal.

I will be following closely on sites like HowToSpoter who are using plugins like this because I simply get more for participating there. With CommentLuv enabled, you get an incredible bonus and people will see traffic increases absolutely, positively from this.

(I still moderate comments and, now that I am giving so much by using this killer WordPress plugin, will be even more picky as to who gets past me. So don’t think this is your chance to get some easy links without making meaningful posts!)

Download CommentLuv and get more participation going on on your blog! Click the graphic below…

I’d be curious if the comment luv plugin even makes any difference. Won’t adding it just add one’s site to a see of thousands of other sites already using the plugin?
I might give it a shot though.

I know “Iluv” tags are good, just wondering what other services are working in 2009 as far as backlinking goes. And who does everone use for content writing?

Luv commentluv! You might want to try keywordluv as well, tends to keep the usernames cleaner.

For a long time I wasn’t even aware of “Commentluv”. In fact I didn’t even know what a “backlink” was, never commentluv or do-follow. Eventually I realized these and I must say that Commentluv is a very handy tool! I have learned from the hard way though . . . I was commenting too much and got too much backlinks all at once for my new site. I learned the hard way unfortunately about what Google’s “sandbox” is.

Commentluv is pretty nifty. What I like about it is the fact that it rewards the visitor for leaving comments. I’ve added this to a couple of my sites, as a way of thanking people for popping in with comments.

Thanks for the heads up. Will download it right now and try it. Seems to be a very useful plugin.

Now they have keyword luv. I honestly wish that blogger had commentluv. It’d be so convenient. Keyword luv is also a great plugin since it gives readers incentive to comment. I use it all the time at work.

Jack,

We finally got Comment Luv added about three weeks ago and the comments have increased and gotten better. Just shows what a little luv can do.

Really nicely explained, man. You do a good job of rubbishing the misinformation out there. I appreciate the value of your content greatly!

I like CommentLuv also. Great plugin.

Had it on my blog – disabled it – guess I need to enable it. I felt it would be a “spammer magnet.”

I'll just have to see I guess.

I agree that KeywordLuv increases the traffic because people like the interaction of commenting. We believe the this is indeed a great Keyword Plugin.

Hi

One thing I didn’t understand. In CommentLuv, we need to type “@” in the name. Most of them work but at some blogs like yours, the name comes as a whole. Can you please let me know why that happens?

I have subscribe your blog..

Thanks
Ron

http://www.jackhumphrey.com/ Jack Humphrey

@Ron – I am seeing separate words for other commentators. Space separated words should work for you – depends how you’re typing it in.

Okay, thanks for the information, I will install it in my other blog. Thank you once again.
http://www.effortlesshr.com/ Aaron

We’ll be sure to use the keywordluv and commentluv plugins on our blog now. It should increase subscribers and comments. Thanks!

I use CommentLuv on two of my blogs. Had difficulty making it work on the others. The Blogger plug-in seems to work on some templates only.

Thanks for posting this. I was thinking along your lines and it was good to see it in words. I do agree that conetent comes first then theme. I have been blogging for about a year now and now usability is become a bigger part of what I o. I think I need to create a start page for my blog that links to my best posts and warms up the visitor/ Look forward to more of your thought provocing posts.Great article!!

Hi Jack very cool that you’re doing this.
I’m planning on putting a wordpress blog in a subdirectory of my main domain that will have commentluv. My main domain is do follow but doesn’t have the comentluv plugin. Some people think that by using do follow you end up leaking page rank but the fact is that page rank is shared – you don’t lose it when you link out.
The reason page rank may vary are because of the links pointing into the page not pointing our of the page. Unfortunately more bloggers don’t know this therefore they don’t “share the love” by “do following” their comments. The use of no follow in comments only worked when you wanted to keep all links pointing into your own domain – for page rank sculpting – but with the new google update page rank sculpting went down the drain. Anyways, thanks for sharing the luv .
All the best,
Eren

I am somewhat confused about KeywordLuv versus CommentLuv. Somehow, I just don’t get the difference!
http://www.designerjeansdepot.net blue denim [email protected]

I also wonder if the comment luv plugin will makes difference. I have been hearing a lot about it from various so called internet marketing gurus that claim it will positively help with the traffic and your rankings. I have one blog that is just plodding along. Maybe I will add it there and monitor it for a couple of months to see what happens?

HiJack!

Feedburner and CommentLuv don’t mix – it bleeds off the backlink from commentluv – see the reason and the cure here in this CommentLuv and Feedburner Danger post.

Thanks for the great blog. I always run across people debating the value of Keyword/Comment Luv. I think the important word here is “good will”. Having a nice blog and allowing your commenters a nice reward for a decent comment builds a little good will and repeat visits. Sure, it can be abused, but what can’t?

I just installed CommentLuv on my wordpress blog which makes computer recommendations. I was previously using Disqus. After a time I realized that Disqus actually discourages visitors from commenting since you have to jump through so many hoops just to comment. I’m hoping CommentLov actually helps facilitate more commenting on my site. Thanks for the post.

CommentLuv is a fab Plug-In for thanking people for taking the time to leave comments. It is a good tool to make and leave an impression of your brand/company.

CommentLuv is a great idea although my feeds go to feedburner, not my website. Does anyone know how to have my feeds on my own website, not feedburner? Cheers.

My site kept freezing up with the plugin. Perhaps there was a conflict with other plugins.

dofollow is cool but I installed a plugin to inform commenters their spam is not welcome and will be marked as spam and be deleted. I got it here http://www.scratch99.com/wordpress-plugin-comment-warning/ and everyone who uses commentluv or keywordluv should get is. spammers suck
http://www.renaissance-design.net/ Chris Cox @ Bridgend Web Design

I’m tempted to implement CommentLuv, but I think KeywordLuv would be a step too far for me.

Like some of the other commenters, I’m worried about the idea of becoming a spam magnet.
