Link Building Tricks With CommentLuv and KeywordLuv
In order to gain site traffic, you must build links. Its inevitable. There are no magic formulas or little red easy buttons to make this happen. Most sites build their links manually until the site picks up steam and are able to gain links from great exposure and content. There are two great plugins for wordpress that will help you in your quest for site exposure and search rankings.
KeywordLuv is a Wordpress plugin that gives a dofollow links to the commenter with their preferred anchor text without the commenter being perceived as a spammer. Its a great way for blog owners to get regular readers and commenters. According to the keywordLuv site:
“When your readers leave a comment, they should leave their name and keywords in the Name field, using the following format: name@keywords.
When posts are displayed, the plugin searches for the @ character, strips it out and moves the name to front (outside the link).”
CommentLuv is a Wordpress plugin that parses the rss feed of the website that the commenter entered. It displays a link to the most recent post and typically makes the link dofollow. Although, you will find some sites do still utilize the nofollow attribute with commentLuv.
So you may be asking yourself: “thats great if I find a site that uses those plugins and encourages commenting”. Well, its much easier to find those sites than you may think.
As an SEO Consultant I spend a great deal of time reading articles related to my industry and marketing in general. Because I spend so much time educating myself, I find that it was easy for me to link build at the same time. Although, I do read articles at sites that do use nofollow, I typically only reward sites with my readership when they reward comment links with linkjuice. I am very careful not to spam these sites, I read a post and when I have a value added comment, I simply leave it and voila! A link.
I do work up front to make sure I am viewing sites that will benefit me with great information and links. Chances are, if an SEO related site is not willing to share a dofollow link, they are more than likely not going to share the best information they have either. Granted, we all have techniques we are not going to broadcast, but my goal for this site is for someone to be able take and use this information to help their site be more successful. Authors that take this same approach are the ones I enjoy reading.
Alright, so lets use Google to find some of these value added sites. We are going to start with a random search. First I tried porpuses, but I misspelled that and ended up searching for dolphins. Am I an avid dolphin fan? Well, no. However, I grew up around the ocean and had some cool experiences with dolphins. So lets assume that I wrote a post about dolphins.
For keywordLuv, the default text that is added to the site below the comments is:
“This site uses KeywordLuv. Enter YourName@YourKeywords in the Name field to take advantage.”
So I did a search like this in Google:
“This site uses KeywordLuv” dolphins
The text in quotes will show text that matches it verbatim. The second part is where you want to include the word or phrase that closely relates to your site or recent post. The first page that was returned in the search was The Elusive Dolphin Photo.
And on that page, we lucked out…we have keywordLuv, commentLuv, and the blog is a part of the dofollow movement.
So after looking at the photo, I would simply read the post and leave a comment. In the name section I would leave the following:
Jason@Dolphin Photos
My website about dolphins would now have a link with the anchor text “Dolphin Photos”. After I submitted the comment, commentLuv would parse my last post and place a link to it at the bottom of the page like:
My Cool Dolphin Experience –pretend that was a link…
Speaking of commentLuv, it is a great way to get deep links into your site. So in order to find a site that uses commentLuv, search for the following:
“Enable CommentLuv” dolphins
You will find sites related to dolphins that use commentLuv. Read the posts and leave a great comment. Now you have two great links, one to your home page and one deep into your site using the title of the page, which is almost perfect SEO.
One thing I must point out, abusing these techniques will only make site owners discontinue use of commentLuv and keywordLuv. So don’t do it. Also, Always Check The Comment Links For Dofollow Links Before Reading. There is nothing worse than reading a super long post (like this one) and than leaving a super long comment, only to find out that the link doesn’t even count!
Happy Link Hunting! By the way, this site is a dofollow blog.

The keywordluv plug-in is a very amazing tool in increasing traffic into your site. Thanks indeed to the makers of keywordluv!
I really like the idea of allowing people to comment and get a keyword with a link out there. It’s helpful but certainly a win win situation for people who take the time to post a sincere comment. Much appreciated.
Wow! that’s an excellent blog. it’s very nice and informative. You have helped me to improve my knowledge about CommentLuv and KeywordLuv. many thanks for your share.
I really liked your blog!Good Grammar , very different from those blogs where written english prefers to be the last word they have learned
Keyword luv is a great SEO Tool. Great blog by the way
I consider CommentLuv to be the best plugin for comments and according to experience it is the very thing that will attract a lot of visitors to your blog.
How are you finding keywordluv nowdays? The blogs I have running it are getting a lot of spam comments?
Pretty nice post. I just came by your blog and wanted to say

CommentLuv for WP is a very nice plug-in. Every blog should have this installed and enabled by default; it would allow much better traffic exchange between websites! And the developer should definitely consider expanding the compatibility to other CMS.
Um, yes, I very much agree that if SEO site is stingy with their do follow links, then they are also probably stingy with their insider information. Most likely, they are just posting fluffy comment to fill up their site.
II will bookmark this because i really need it. Finally, i found it. Thanks!
I am using keywordluv and commentluv on my blog too but it’s kinda annoying when people take benefit of keywordluv and place they keywords without the name..
I hope it will works for me too..
Nice blog. Thanks for the information. I think commentluv and keywordluv are really nice SEo tools. They are very helpful in increasing traffic to your site.
Have you noticed an increase in the number of comments since installed KeywordLuv? I’ve been considering using it on a blog I own and need some honest feedback.

It is hard to do link building with comments, but also is the safest and cheapest. I found the power of comments when by accident
Also that is the link to a page so that KeywordLuv could do hes job properly
thank for tip. im testing right away on your blog. thank man
Nice article. It was helpful and informative. hope to see more greats posts like this. Really appreciate people and blogs who do comment luv or keyword luv
I like the way you hunted for sites with the two plugins. Yes this sentence is usually present at the end of the comment box.”This site uses KeywordLuv. Enter YourName@YourKeywords in the Name field to take advantage.”
Yet is there any other specific search engine for blogs with these two plugins?
I have gotten into the “Do Follow” or “No Follow Free” movement, I didn’t even know that links in comments were not followed by the bots! Now I do, and I did something about it! I have tried many plugins one one of my site for making the comment experience better for my visitors, some have worked, some haven’t, but you can rest assured, I have tried most, if not all of them!
I am a great fan of the do follow movement and installing wordpress plugins like keywordluv, commentluv, top commentators has really paid of tremendously. My blog started to recieve natural and relevant comments from serious visitors who understand the real value of a blog post and getting a link back from there for SERP and traffic. I welcome your decision in enabling these incredible plugins @ your blog too. Dont forget to activate askimet which enables in spam prevention.
Thanks!

i totally agree with candy that this is the right and effective way apart from it another way is to find for sites having top commentors somewhere on the site which is a clesr indication of the use of plugin hope it also helps will b coming up to c with more tips soon here
These two plugins promotes the blogs traffic and increased the visitor count drastically. They are also prone to spam attack, but as long as you have akismet running properly. Also I would suggest to have a captcha security coded installed below which will keep the bots away. Thanks!
the plug ins keywordLuv and commentLuv are indeed beneficial. It does not only increase traffic, it also helped augment the numbers of page views and number of directories. I agree with Girish about captcha being installed. Number of people leaving comments may have increased, but as well as those spams. So, in order to avoid those, let’s just be cautious about it.
I have had alot of success with this lugin and definately recommend it.
