Are Your Using CommentLuv? A Review.
CommentLuv is a plugin for blogs. I use it on a WordPress blog, but it is also available for other blogging platforms. Why would you want to use it?
One reason is to help you get more people to comment on your blog.
It’s kind of implied in the title, but CommentLuv starts to work when someone starts to comment on your blog. You can watch the action by following along and commenting on my blog.
When you go to the comment area you will find some boxes or input areas that you will need to fill out in order to leave a comment. The number of boxes that are displayed depends on how the blogger has set up his blog.
You will always find two input boxes that are required. At least I have not yet run across a blog that does not require your blog visitor to enter their name and email address. The email address will not be displayed so it is ok for your visitor to enter these two items.
The next box that I have always seen is optional – it is generally titled: website. You visitor will enter his website/blog URL here. This produces a clickable link to his web presence. This is an opportunity for someone to click through to his site.
However, as you will see later, more than that happens if you have the CommentLuv plugin activated on your blog.
There may be other boxes that your visitor can fill out – like entering his Twitter username.
However the next box that is required in order to leave a comment is the comment box itself. This is where CommentLuv comes into play.
As soon as someone clicks inside this box to start entering a comment, CommentLuv starts working. It will start looking for the website associated with the URL entered into the website box.
When CommentLuv finds the web address that was provided, and if it finds that it the website is a blog, CommentLuv will check the feeds of the blog and collect the titles of a selection of the last few blog posts on the blog. I think it will select all the posts that are on the home page.
It will list the title of the latest blog post below the submit button as the default post. However, there will be a little arrow beside the post name and the person commenting on your blog can select another post if they want to send the Luv to some post besides the default post.
There is also a checkbox there that can be un-checked in case the person making the comment does not want to sent any Luv to his site for this comment. Don’t know why he would want to un-check this box, but the option is there.
What is happening here is that CommentLuv is going to generate a link from your site to a post on your visitors blog. This link will appear under their comment after they hit the submit button. Someone has commented on your blog and CommentLuv has produced a link to a post on their blog,
How cool is that? Very, and it is very beneficial to the person making the comment as the search engines will detect this link to their blog.
You can see this process in motion by leaving a comment on this blog post and you will see the link back to your blog post.
So, as you can see your visitor will get rewarded when they leave a comment on your blog if you have CommentLuv installed. Same for you if you comment on a blog that has the plugin installed and activated.
Thus, a good reason to install CommentLuv on your blog is that it could increase the potential that someone will comment on your blog. And you do want people to comment on your blog. This is a win/win situation for both parties.
An addition benefit comes to you if you register your blog with the CommentLuv site. The owner/developer of CommentLuv will provide you with several benefits. These include rankings, tracking, and more.
So, Want More Comments For Your Blog? Install CommentLuv and that will encourage more of your blog visitors to leave a comment, because it also helps them by giving them a link back to their site. In the end this will enhance your blogging efforts.
To Your Online Success,
Lonnie Minton

I like Comment Love and have it installed on all my blogs. It serves to give visitors an incentive to comment and I like comments. Good one to share with others. Too many people don’t use this which is unfortunate.
Earl Netwal´s last blog ..Twitter Tips and more
It’s a great plugin. I use it as well. The other benefit is that others commenting usually read the previous comments. If they find the last post title intersting it could lead to a visit to your site.
Luca´s last blog ..Cool Blogging Tool I Use: PLR To WordPress
I find Comment Luv to be a very useful plugin. I have it installed and I am amazed at the number of comments I see people making. They must feel an attachment with the blog and want to post.

Couldn’t agree with you more, Lonnie – I’ve been using CommentLuv since Andy first launched it, and wouldn’t be without it on our blogs. Using the SEM DoFollow plugin in conjunction with it gets rid of WP’s pesky ‘nofollow’ tag too, giving true link luv to your commenters!
Doug Champigny´s last blog ..Twitter Marketing Tip – Use Twitter To Build Your Opt-In Lists!
I too am a big fan of CommentLuv and do follow although I use a different plugin for that. Anything that rewards commenters is good in my opinion.
Mike Paetzold´s last blog ..Resell Rights Fortune Review
Absolutely great plug-in!
I too have been using it for several months now. It is a great way to reward those who are leaving comments on your site because ultimately they are helping you out so best to return the favor!
Thanks,

I am very happy since I added Comment Luv a few months back. Comments increased 60% and have stayed there. This is a truly great plugin that Andy is keeping updated. I really appreciate the support that he offers.

What a fantastic idea and a fab way to drive traffic, ideal for people looking for ways to generate free visitors such as with social media traffic or video marketing
Hi
After much reading and web surfing I have finally installed CommentLuv on my site, in the hope of getting more comments.
Opinion appears to be divided out there.
Some say it is the best plugin since….whatever your favourite plugin is.
Others say that it just encourages spam.
On balace, those who use CommentLuv say it’s brilliant.
I’ll be back in a month or so and let you know what I think.

Hi Keith,
Looking forward to you comments on CommentLuv.
I think that it works quite well. I have not seen any
increase in spam since I have been using it. I think that
the main thing that it does is to encourage comments
from those that use.
