Get CommentLuv And KeywordLuv For Your Comments
I am a firm believer in showing love to my readers, bloggers and non-bloggers alike. I have been a ‘Do Follow‘ adopter from the very beginning of my blogging days.
DoFollow
For those unaware, WordPress makes comments a ‘nofollow’ link to make it unattractive to spammers. But, there has been a movement to reward commentators with a linkback by removing the nofollow from comments. The DoFollow WordPress plugin makes this really easy to acheive.
So, anyone leaving a comment here will get a PR5 link back to their website helping them a little in their search engine ranking. Yes, ShanKri-la just went from PR4 to PR5 with the latest pagerank update!
CommentLuv
CommentLuv is another awesome plugin in use in ShanKri-la. This is purely to highlight the commentator’s latest post automatically by parsing their blog’s feed. So, with every comment you leave, your latest post is automatically showcased in your comment giving you some exposure with my other readers.
KeywordLuv
Even though you get these benefits, the links to your site doesn’t carry much weight like a link with a targeted keyword as anchor text. That’s why we see comments with names like ‘Free iPod nano’, ‘Detroit Real Estate’. Although it looks spammy, some of these folks are well meaning and leave comments that contribute to their discussion. I can tell a spam comment most of the time and I delete them without hesitation. I do allow comments with keywords but I still don’t get to know the name of the person leaving the comment.
My friend Stephen Cronin has solved this problem with his new plugin, KeyWordLuv. Here is an excerpt:
KeywordLuv helps you reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their site. This gives them improved anchor text, which can help their site rank higher in the search engine results.
You can now leave a comment with your name as well as a keyword of your choice here and get a PR5 link back to your site! How cool is that? People pay big bucks for that and all you have to do is comment here.
Here is how you do it:
Leave a comment with the name field like this : (spaces are fine)
K-IntheHouse@Top Firefox Extensions
The name link in the comment will appear as:
K-IntheHouse from Top Firefox Extensions
If you are a registered user, make sure you logout to see this. Check out Stephen’s other useful WordPress plugins as well.
Words of Love
I have taken the time to make this blog friendly as well as rewarding to you should you participate in any discussion here. And I highly encourage you to do so as a blog’s real value most times lies in the discussions & comments.
But, please don’t abuse it by leaving meaningless comments like ‘Nice post’ just to get some keyword love. It doesn’t help anyone and I will delete it even though I appreciate the encouragement.
Are you ready for some loving?

Jolin, you too! Thanks for taking the time to comment and hope to see you more.
Pavankumar, I am sure when this plugin hits the mainstream, it is going to create some ripples. Let’s spread the word for Stephen.
Link Building Bible, you are welcome and you have a very nice site as well and like the do-follow search engine! I do have the Top Commentator plugin and you can see it in action in the footer.
Nirmal, for this to work you would enter the ‘Name’ field as Name@Keyword You Like. For example, if you enter Nirmal@World Class Blogger it will appear as Nirmal from World Class Blogger.

Spreading the word can be done anyway, but implementing the same on nofollow blog to spread the word seems to be ridiculous right?
Pavan Kumars last blog post..Can you select this text?

Keyword Luv looks great. I will be downloading and installing that on my animal blog tomorrow.
I have been meaning to make all my wordpress blogs dofollow. Will it make all the old comments dofollow to?
Thanks a lot of the heads up.

Congrats on PR 5! Enjoy

I have been thinking about installing Comment Luv plugin on my blog. Does it generate any load on the Database queries.
May 9th, 2008 at 11:52 am
Dominique, welcome to ShanKri-la and glad you found the tips useful.
Pavan, I’ll check it out, thanks.
Mark, doing good and great to see you buddy! Just been very busy with personal life lately and haven’t been to your blog.
Forest, thanks and glad you like it! I am sure the dofollow plugin makes even your old comments will have the nofollow tag removed from the links.
Shankar, thanks buddy!
Madhur, if it does it’s minimal. It’s got a little bit of ajax majic as you can see it fetching from your feed to display the current post. I think the incentive it gives is much more to me personally even if it does a little bit.
May 9th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
Seems to me it’s time to install Commentluv plugin on my own blog as well.
Anyways, congrats on PR5.
Enjoy!!!

I love the part of being able to see what a commentator in my blog is currently talking about at present! Very easily.
May 10th, 2008 at 10:17 am
Great post. I love the commentluv plugin. And now that they have created this keywordluv its even better. What a great concept.
May 11th, 2008 at 1:03 am
I love this plugin. It’s always nice to get a little link love when contributing and joining in blogs.
Thank you.
May 11th, 2008 at 11:09 am
Yeah, my blog is nofollow free too! That’s one of the way to appreciate loyal readers. KeywordLuv is totally new to me, thanks for the heads up.

I never thought about getting two links back when you comment on a blog with CommentLuv. Now there is more reason to comment than ever before!

I had never heard of Keyword Luv plug-in until I read about it here. That’s a terrific way to demonstrate appreciate for your readers. Thank you.
May 11th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Small correction - your home page has good PR but this particular post won’t have as high a PR - PR is per page not site. Commentluv is a fantastic plugin and I use on most of my blogs, havent tried kwluv yet but its on my to do list!
May 12th, 2008 at 5:41 am
Me to strongly believe in dofollow thats why i have removed nofollow attribute from my comment field and backlink field but is it possible to add commentluv or some simmiler plugin to blogspot.com blog?
May 12th, 2008 at 1:52 pm
I appreciate what you do keeping your blog follow. Its hard to track proper blogs but at the same time gotta give you some respect. thanks for the follow through.
May 12th, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Long live Keyword Luv! Thanks for helping out so many people with your do follow and keyword support.
