Commenting is surely the differentiators between a blog and a regular web site. Therefore, the whole of commenting process always become important part for the blog admin. Blog admin usually try to improve the commenting experience in their blog so the readers feel tend to leave the comment. As always said that a better blog which turn to communities site and it is obvious that the quality comment number is one of the parameters to measure it. A lot of quality comment in commenting form always mean that the blog has strong communities around it.
CommentLuv for Strong Communities
It is true that the strong communities only one of many parameters to measure the blog success. There are many others parameters that can be used as blog success measurement such as conversion rate, amount of traffic, search engine result page (SERP) position, and other parameters. However, having strong communities always mean good for a blog. Since the quality comment number is one of the strong communities parameters, blog admin should focus to improve it as first step. Blog admin can do it by improving the WordPress default commenting form so the readers enjoy to comment on it.
Improve WordPress default Commenting System
One of the great tools that able to improve WordPress default commenting from is CommentLuv WordPress plugin which is one of my blog improvement plan. CommentLuv allows more interactive commenting form. It is because CommentLuv is a WordPress Plugin that automatically link the last blog post/article from the commentators while their write a comment. It mean that the commenting form become an advertising board for commentators. In other side, the blog admin will easily track each good blog post/article from their commentators through blog commenting form and visit it if it is really worthy.
Improve interaction between Bloggers
The other readers also easily to find good blog posts/articles through commenting form while visit and read a blog. This is why CommentLuv is claimed that able to improve interaction between bloggers. It can be said that with CommentLuv in commenting form, the blog become the medium for interaction between bloggers which is surely good for the communities. CommentLuv is also well-known as link building tool since blog admin allows to tag the CommentLuv link as do-follow. It mean that if we comment in do-follow CommentLuv blog, our latest blog post automatically get the backlink.
Link Building
In my opinion, the best link building is to build the backlink spread around the entire of our blog posts. This is which provided by CommentLuv WordPress plugin. CommentLuv is creating a great blog communities indeed. So, let’s create the better interaction around blogosphere by having CommentLuv feature in our blog commenting form.
That’s all update this time, wait for next update!

I just installed comment luv a few hours ago, does commentluv attract more spam comments to your blog?

If your commenluv link is dofollow, it may attract more spam. However, as long as you use anti-spam such as akismet, you should do not worry about it.

Hi Dana, I’m a huge fan of commentluv! I have been suing it now for about two years. I don’t know if it’s helping me get comments but who knows. I also enjoy the top commentators plug in. I find that one to work out very well.

It would be great if you can share the way. I am my self still looking the way to utilize the commentluv in maximum.
CommentLuv definitely helps in building relationships between the bloggers who comment on a site. Since installing it, I have seen many, many instances where I visit another blog to find the same people who have commented on my site there as well. It’s a great feeling knowing you are helping establish bonds between other bloggers and increasing their reader bases as well.

Nice post,
CommentLuv has definitely changed up the game a little bit. A lot of people won’t even post comments on blogs that don’t use it now. Haha
It sucks that I didn’t build my blog using Wordpress, but hey, the big guys like Darren at ProBlogger don’t use CommentLuv haha.

Yup, the big blog usually do not use commentluv. However, if they use commentluv, they will get more comment for sure.
Commentluv no doubt is one of the best way of link building, and it encourages blogger’s to post comment and get a link to their newest post. On the other side comments help to keep the blog fresh in search engine’s eye also.

What can I say, I like commentluv and the community that stands behind it. Seriously and after reading some of the comments above, I think that one should use commentluv for other purposes than SEO or link building. Using it as a form to build relationships and share to the blog’s owner readers your some of your latest posts, to me is more powerful than “juice” in itself. Just make sure that you leave comments that add value (same as when you write and article) and spark an interesting conversation, choose a post that is preferably relevant with the artcile itself and let commentluv do the rest

Personally, I don’t have any problems with comluv, or keywordluv plugins. But to an extent, don’t you think it is just a way to try to game the algorithm?
Google’s intention is for you to link to sites you think are an authority on a particular topic. Just because I leave a link with a keyword, and a keyword rich title for my latest comluv post, does that make me an authority on it?
I don’t have near the time I used to for commenting, and I have discovered great articles through comluv too, but I honestly think that Google knows where the comment section starts, and those links aren’t given much value…

In my opinion, the prime function of commentluv is to market your latest blog post. However, I experienced that combination of guest post, dofollow commenting, internal linking really work great to improve SERP.
(27 comments) July 14, 2010 at 7:38 am
With HTML5 adding the tag, your “do-follow” comment strategy will be null, so I would start thinking of other ways to get links…

Sorry, it stripped the code out of the comment, but it is an “article” tag which will define the beginning and end of an article.

(49 comments) July 15, 2010 at 11:57 pm
OK, kind understand now. The Search Engine surely can ignore the link outside the article tag easily. However, does google do it (the ignoring)?

If people would stop and see the real value of commenluv – not for seo – but for connecting – it would make all the difference.
Those who use it to try and game Google are the losers. Those who appreciate it for it’s real value are the ones that make real connections – and they end up the real winners.

Hi Keith, maybe Google knows where the comment section starts, and actually Google respect Wordpress defaults commenting system. You can see here the value of comments for SEO by example if you are using Wodpress Comment system!
I am still testing the real affects of backlinks in any comment section, so I am unsure of your claim that it is the best way to build backlinks. I think the best way to build backlinks is to get in content links, which to me, one in content link from the right site can equal hundreds of comment links….
(49 comments) July 13, 2010 at 10:28 pm
Agree that the best link is in content. However, a back link from comment section is better than nothing.
(3 comments) July 13, 2010 at 3:36 am
CommentLuv is surely a great plug-in and I really appreciate the idea behind it. It is a good way to give commentators some kind of a reward for the quality comments. It’s a shame that the plug-in is not very well integrated with the Blogspot blogging system and getting it work properly might turn into a nightmare.

Hi. I agree CommentLuv is a really great tool. It helps in increasing comments.
I think Another method for getting readers to interact in your community is using KeywordLuv plugin, so that commenter can have a keyword of their choice and get a keyword rich anchor-text, like we have here at FamousBloggers.
Kindest,

(49 comments) July 13, 2010 at 10:24 pm
However, in my opinion, keywordluv is useful only in dofollow blog.
Yea it seriously helps alot. Now with comluv i get at elast 5 extra backlinks per day! and furthermore it allows me to promote my blog while commenting

CommentLuv is a good plugin, but I’m not sure it can really do link building. Can it? What I do know is true is… it is good for promoting your last post, but of course… unless your last post title is good, most probably getting click… percentage is against you.

The CommentLuv reward makes it worthwhile to use your real name, business and photo. Everyone behaves more civilized when they have to put their own name on the line.
I see great conversation on a few places without CommentLuv, like Copyblogger. But those seem to be the exceptions from my brief blogging experience.
Most blogs are ghost-towns with tumbleweeds rolling across the screen. Mine included. That’s why I need all the CommentLuv help I can get!
