DoFollow, Keyword Luv and Comment Luv on WordPress

Do you have CommentLuv installed?

One of my favorite ways to find new blogs to read is by visiting other sites who have CommentLuv installed and clicking through to a post from someone else who has commented. Another reason why I like this particular plugin is because it gives the people commenting on my posts a way to link one of their recent posts to their comment.

If you sign up at their site you have the ability to link one of your last 10 blog posts when commenting on a site that has CommentLuv installed. There are other benefits of registering at their site as well….read all about it by visiting the site (and Andy is super nice too).

Keyword Luv

I’m not exactly sure how I found this plugin but it was definitely through another site that has it installed and I thought it was a great idea.

Now when you comment on my blog you can put in Your Name @ Your Keywords and that will show in the name field.

For example: if I comment on someone else’s blog with Keyword Luv installed I put in my name as: Michelle @ Your Virtual Assistant

Isn’t that fun? Take advantage Keyword Luv when you comment on my posts!

DoFollow

I’m all about sharing what I have so I recently made the decision to make my site “DoFollow” with the quick install of this plugin and added myself to these DoFollow Blog directories:

So what does this all mean?

  1. I’m getting more visitors than I did in the past
  2. I’m getting more comments on  my posts (and hope to get many, many more)
  3. I’m getting a bit more spam but Askimet still does a great job of catching a lot of it!

What this means for you – when you comment on my blog you get extra exposure and I’m fostering a reciprocal environment.

I’d love to hear of your experiences with any or all of these on your site.

Without KeywordLuv, it will be a lot of hard work and using much time to find blogs that allow dofollow tags for backlinks. Having said that I also noticed many blogs with the plugin turn off dofollow. This is because of too much useless spam of 1 or 2 words comments. So if you want more blog owners to turn on dofollow, please write useful and constructive comments. This will benefit everyone doing internet marketing. – Online Education

Steve – I agree that it does result in some extra spam but I know Askimet is looking out for me. As for the one or two word comments…I’ll trash them if I find it necessary.

I’m thinking about added comment and keyword Luv to one of my blogs after seeing great results from my friends. Although it is a bit of work to monitor the comments but it is well worth it for the links. As Michelle stated, with aksimat installed it does keep most of the spam comments at bay.

And today – for the first time ever Askimet didn’t catch two — but I know how to hit the “spam” button. :-)

Hi Michelle,

I agree that keywordluv can and quite often does have a positive effect on the blog on which it is installed, it drives more traffic and encorouges people to post for there own benefit, thus creating new content for the blog page.

Do you think Google will ever clamp down on the positive effect of blog commenting?

Tom – with all things good comes the bad and it does increase the spam :-)

My favorite plugin is keyword luv because it enables us to use our real name and the keyword we are optimizing. It makes commenting more fun because we get to see the real names of the people who conversate with each other through comments.

I own a dofollow blog directory as well. It’s pretty easy to locate categories there and it even have a commenting helper feature. Please check out my Dofollow blogs directory.

Hey Michelle, I love the way you lay out your posts, your style of writing is very fluent. I have had trouble with the dofollow addon for firefox, and so far have only found one other plugin that works The dofollow plugin from Scott Millar). I’m stoked to find another one that works, thanks for sharing!!

I am actually thinking about installing this plugin to my blogs. But I am just wary about attracting more spammers. But I think I’ll try it out on some of my blogs and see if it has advantage for me. Thanks.
