KeywordLuv: How Using It Benefits Us All

Time is our most precious resource. All bloggers and business owners wish they had more of it and continually seek ways to accomplish more each day.

Scroll Down for DoFollow CommentLuv KeywordLuv blogs by Niche!

KeywordLuv and CommentLuv are effective ways to make every comment we write or receive provide far more benefits.

I strongly recommend bloggers join the do follow movement and install the CommentLuv and KeywordLuv plugins.

We and many of our favorite bloggers are focusing more and more of our time and efforts exclusively in dofollow blogs. The CommentLuv community is especially strong and readers can easily see CommentLuv featured posts. They may not be aware that installing CommentLuv and registering your site allows you to suggest one of your last ten posts and in the CommentLuv Premium up to five of your top pages or posts.

The benefits of using KeywordLuv are not as obvious to many
so I want to spell them out and explain exactly
why I so strongly recommend using it.

First you need to clearly understand what anchor text is and why it is so important to you.

Anchor text is simply the words used in the actual link that tell the search engines what the page the link points to is about.

Many bloggers are NOT using anchor text effectively or do not even know what phrases are important to them. There is nothing more important to your getting more traffic from the search engines than clearly targeting your best anchor text. Read my building traffic post for how to do this.

BENEFITS OF KEYWORDLUV:

  1. Most bloggers and blog readers dislike keywords in the name field instead of a name. The reason commentators do that is because without KeywordLuv whatever is in the Name field is what is used as anchor text – and that is NOT effective. Installing KeywordLuv fixes that issue by allowing commentators to separate their name from the keywords.
  2. KeywordLuv allows business owners and bloggers to select their own anchor text and pair it with the most targeted landing page.
  3. Bloggers can more clearly understand what their commentators do and what their major interests are based on the keywords they use.
  4. When we blog about our regular commentators we can use the anchor text and links they shared to ensure we are providing them with maximum benefits.

KeywordLuv allows us all to combine commenting and SEO efforts so that we can interact more frequently, strengthen our blogging community relationships and make our sites easier to find in the search engines which will increase our traffic, subscribers and potentially our incomes.

HOW TO USE KEYWORDLUV:

KeywordLuv is simple to use. Instead of putting your name or keywords into the Name field of a comment, use YourName @ Your Keywords.

Here are some examples so everyone is clear on the idea:

  • Adam @ Merchant Affiliate Program Manager or Adam @ OPM
  • Gail @ Social Media Marketing or Gail @ Business Blogging
  • Pete @ Gift Affiliate Program
  • Michelle @ Poster Printing
  • Jeff @ Wedding Affiliate Program
  • Sarah @ CRM

Notice that only the keyword phrase is linked and that is exactly what your comment name field will look like too. You can vary the anchor text you choose.

For maximum benefit choose specific pages or posts optimized for each phrase and link that specific page/post to that specific keyword phrase.

You will not end up with enough incoming links to any one page if you do not send specific keyword phrases to specific pages/posts. You can maximize the effectiveness of what you write by optimizing a page specifically for each keyword phrase – especially if you are offering services or products.

That involves good timing in blogs using CommentLuv so read on for how to change your landing page to match your keyword phrase. When you register your site at CommentLuv you entered your URL. For CommentLuv to work you must enter it into the URL field EXACTLY as you registered it including using or not using the www and including or not including the trailing slash / at the end. You may want to copy and paste it somewhere so you can paste it back in later.

If you don’t see your last ten posts in CommentLuv the most likely cause is the URL you entered is not exactly how you registered it.

To link your selected anchor text to a page different than the one you registered with CommentLuv, fill in your comment as usual, select the CommentLuv post you wish to feature and then do this:

Just before you submit the comment, paste the URL of your preferred post/page into the URL field and immediately submit the comment.

It takes CommentLuv some time to realize the URL field has changed. If you forget or take too long you will lose the CommentLuv featured post you selected. If that happens just paste your registered URL back into the Website URL field and click into the body of the comment. That will prompt CommentLuv to find your last ten posts again. Select the one you want, and then change the URL again and immediately submit the comment.

By installing KeywordLuv you allow business and blog owners to help themselves to generate more traffic and more sales.

Some will notice that I keep comments most bloggers would summarily delete. I do this because I know that businesses are in dire economic condition and it is essential that small and online businesses survive and even thrive in spite of the current economic climate. I encourage my fellow bloggers to be forgiving of those who are new and haven’t learned to write excellent comments yet. Is it not better to educate them and even the offshore SEO companies they hire so they can call learn? Many businesses do not have the time or skills needed to leave their own comments and may not know the difference between spam and adding to the conversation. We can educate them and make the world a better place. For those bloggers willing to do more I ask that you participate in my new BizLuv MEME and find out how you can Support Your Favorite Businesses and benefit your own blog at the same time.

Note that not all blogs using CommentLuv or KeywordLuv are Do Follow.

I suspect that many assume they are and I personally find it disingenuous to use  these plugins that are so connected to the dofollow community and make them nofollow. For this reason I choose not to include nofollowed KeywordLuv sites in my KeywordLuv Twitter List. CommentLuv blogs are included on my DoFollow Twitter List. Would anyone prefer that I create a DoFollow CommentLuv List?

DOES DOFOLLOW NEGATIVELY AFFECT PAGE RANK?

It is possible but I have not seen any definitive evidence that it does. LATEST: In the last PageRank update, this blog was dropped from PR4 to PR3 while Kikolani with a similar amount of traffic was raised to PR5. Here are several reasons that this blog is more likely to be penalized by Google than other DoFollow blogs:

  1. I frequently and publicly call Google to task because Google IS Evil.
  2. GrowMap outed Akismet for censoring our best commentators, would not back down when Automattic objected to what we wrote about Akismet, and now offer this Akismet alternative.
  3. Comments that many bloggers would delete are approved here at GrowMap because we know the importance of anchor text for small businesses. We also know that link builders are people too – and often they are bloggers, affiliate marketers, or supporting small businesses.

Even if we were not manually G-slapped for #1 or #2 (and that DOES happen – see what happened to Ron Cripp’s traffic from G when he published a post on how article marketing using completely original content can still work after the Google Panda Farmer update – #3 could definitely be the cause. We DO have links that G would not like.

Each of us has a choice to make. Will we bow down and lick G’s boots or will we do what is right and support each other?

I for one will not bow to their pressures because I know where that road leads. Maybe today you will still have traffic but tomorrow they will want something else from you. Bowing to tyranny never works in the long run. IMPORTANT: I am NOT recommending that other bloggers publicly defy Google or write posts criticizing them – especially if your business income depends on traffic from them for now. I AM recommending that you quietly support each other and build links and especially recommend each other directly in your blogs and across social networks. Read the ongoing Dofollow debate on the link immediately above and Dan’s DoFollow Versus NoFollow post for insights including comments from me and examples of posts here and on popular dofollow sites that have strong pageranks in spite of tons of outgoing links. This indicates that if you quietly allow at least some of your readers links – maybe less than I do here – that you are not very likely to be penalized with lower pagerank. That said, PageRank is not nearly as important as traffic. G can take away ALL your pagerank and still send you just as many visitors. There are many blogs that are PR0 (usually because they inadvertently broke a rule – often by using text link ads or selling text links without no-following them) that have just as much traffic from G after their PR drop than they had before. Eventually, the new Chrome block data can be used as an excuse to remove any site from search engine indexes and claim it is “what the users wanted”. Just as Akismet censors bloggers’ comments, that data will censor our sites right out of the serps. See my post on CrowdSourcing failures for more details.

WHERE TO GET THE PLUGINS:

  • DoFollow plugin – We were using the Semio Logic Do Follow plugin V4.0 but they have removed the page for it from the Internet and their Twitter account has been inactive since Aug 17, 2010. We now use CommentLuv Premium which provides DoFollow as one of the eight built-in plugins. If you use the free version of CommentLuv try one of the others listed on Andy Beard’s DoFollow Plugins List.
  • KeywordLuv plugin – I claimed @KeywordLuv11110 to make the KeywordLuv plugin and this information post easy to find
  • CommentLuv plugin | How to use CommentLuv with IntenseDebate
  • How to tell if your Theme is compatible and how to use KeywordLuv compatibility mode if it isn’t.

I am currently compiling lists of Keyword Love enabled blogs, keywordluv lists and will add keyword luv tools if I find any.

Why should you link to bloggers who use KeywordLuv? Because they understand the importance of anchor text and are highly likely to add high quality links to your sites!

    Comment Luv is a great idea, and I have enabled it on my blog, but how long before the almighty Google decides it doesn’t like it and starts penalising sites for its use?

      Hi Jason,

      We’ve been using it for over 10 years and that hasn’t happened, yet. We do NOT recommend using KeywordLuv as that can cause issues with unnatural link penalties.

      And for CommentLuv, you decide who can get a dofollow link and who can’t by choosing how many approved comments they have to have first. I recommend leaving the name field nofollow and selectively allowing the blog post links to be dofollow.

      Hi Imran,

      Unfortunately, KeywordLuv is no longer recommended. But CommentLuv does still work. Even though Andy Bailey is not around to update it, I spoke with the plugin text team and they said CommentLuv should be fine as it is well-coded and should work with Gutenberg (although I won’t ever use it if I can help it – there is a Classic Press plugin for now AND also a Classic Press fork.

      Every WordPress user needs to read about the upcoming HUGE CHANGE that is Gutenberg. Do NOT accept that update before you read what might break!

      Hi Alrin,

      I suspect most bloggers no longer offer keywordluv because Google started penalizing people for over-optimized anchor text. That is why I turned it off. I still use CommentLuv and have both fields set to nofollow except for regular commenters. Once they have x number of comments, their CommentLuv link (but not the name field link) goes dofollow.

      Hello Alay,

      Each blogger using CommentLuv controls which links if any are dofollow. The default is for the name field to be nofollow and the CommentLuv field to be dofollow. I can make them both nofollow or both dofollow. Many blogs also make the CommentLuv field nofollow until a person has a specific number of approved posts of their choosing and then they go dofollow.

    Was checking backlinks at some point and saw a few with the anchor being my name. Makes much more sense now. Will try and use: name @ sitename when commenting on articles…. Does it make a difference? Will add CommentLuv plugin to my site when I get the chance to do so – everything with commentluv is new for me, but very interesting.

    This tool is very beneficial and especially to know about effective use of anchor text. As after the recent panda and penguin updates the use of anchor text or I must say effective and correct use of anchor text has become very important to make or break a website in SERP’s. A varied profile of anchor text can be beneficial but it’s also important to know if the keywords are being overused.

      Yes, you can still use keywords using the premium (paid) plugin CommentLuv Premium; however, Google has been penalizing blogs that allow keywords and people who put keywords in the name field in comments. I have turned them off in this blog because of this as I do not wish to get others penalized.

      I focus on using comments to build community and attract readers, not for SEO. Both links in my comments here are now nofollow and have been for a long time.

      The Keywordluv plugin has not been updated in years. Although the capability still exists in CommentLuv Premium, most sites that once offered it have turned it off or nofollowed the links. Even I have turned it off and nofollowed all comment links. This has become necessary because Google has penalized both the bloggers and their commenter’s sites for allowing it.

      CommentLuv comes in both a free and a premium version. Keywordluv is a free plugin, but it hasn’t been updated in many years and most of us who were using it have stopped. The premium version of CommentLuv includes that feature. Search for CommentLuv using the search box here on this site and you will find many posts about it.

      Hello Bhavinder,

      Some believe that having your link in comments could cause penalties. Those who are most paranoid do not use their site links when commenting on any site. Those who don’t comment frequently probably have little to worry about, but if you belong to a commenting community and comment in each other’s sites you may have to choose between getting traffic from Google and participating in CommentLuv communities.

      Blogs can often get as much or more traffic from commenting regularly than they get from search engines. It is unfortunate that Google chooses to penalize people who actually interact in comments.

    Hi,I have been using keywordluv/commentluv for all my blogs, I am quite new to blogging but have found these plug-ins to be really helpful in generating blog comments, the only downside is it also attracts a lot of spam comments.I was thinking of using a CAPTCHA code to try and stop spam comments, but am curious if they actually work? I like th style of growmap.com I think it looks good layed out great and is quite an interesting read.Thanks.Mike

I’m thinking there are benefits to both but this early in the game I’m not sure I want to penalize my page rank for the sake of comments because I am just trying to build it.

      Hi Trevor,

      Everyone on the planet has a decision to make about how long to play the game of the wealthy elite – knowing their end goal is to eliminate small businesses and independent thinkers and make us all slaves – versus when they better have traffic and sales that come from any other place except Google. It is not early in this game – it is late.

      Building blogging communities is a way to grow that does not rely on the ever declining traffic from the Google monopoly. Make no mistake about this: Google really IS Evil.

    I’ve read the horror stories from blog owners about keeping up with comments, spam, and their comments losing value for the readers.

    So I’m trying to compromise. I’m happy to link to businesses, but I ask that they leave our readers a customer service tip.

      Hi Richard, first of all page rank is not the be-all and end-all, it is an indication of page importance but it has little or no bearing on your SERPs, which is all you should really care about. Good SERPs for many keywords = lots of good traffic. Huge PR with rubbish SERPs = nothing. You can search on any term and compare the PRs of the pages returned, you’ll see that they are not in decreasing order, there will be many pages with PR0 well above pages with PR3 or 4 or 5 etc.
      Secondly PR is calculated based on more than just inbound links – outbound links.
      Many comments on a page show that the page has a thriving readership, a community around it, this is much more important than PR, this will give you good SERPs 10x quicker than a higher PR.
      This is from Matt Cutts blog.
      “Q: Okay, but doesn’t this encourage me to link out less? Should I turn off comments on my blog?
      A: I wouldn’t recommend closing comments in an attempt to “hoard” your PageRank. In the same way that Google trusts sites less when they link to spammy sites or bad neighborhoods, parts of our system encourage links to good sites.”
      I think we need to look beyond pagerank. I don’t even think Google still support pagerank. It’s not included in the latest google tool bars is it?

        Excellent insights, Tom – and I would go further and say we must look beyond Google because they are systematically taking traffic away from small businesses including bloggers and handing it to their favored big brands.

        That is no secret: they publicly announced they are favoring big brands and there is ample evidence they do.

        The only way to take away their monopoly is for EVERYONE who realizes what is going on to encourage their friends, family, co-workers, and every other person they know to use alternatives to Google.

        We need to use the major platforms like Google (including Google+), Twitter, Facebook, etc. to bring people back to domains we control to interact – because accounts on all those services are deleted capriciously all the time. And we must SAVE offline contact information and have many methods of reaching each other – NEVER relying on only one that could disappear in the blink of an eye.

      Some want the benefits of CommentLuv links but are scared they will “leak link juice” and lose Google PageRank or upset that 800 lb gorilla that is anti-dofollow.

      Right now some strange things are going on with links that SHOULD BE dofollow and are configured to be dofollow being nofollow. I am working to diagnose what is causing that so we can get it fixed. It is possible WordPress is doing that but it could just be some weird bug in CommentLuv.

      Don’t judge which blogs are dofollow right now – and even after this issue is resolved be aware that bloggers can require a certain number of approved comments before your comments go dofollow. That is now easily configured within CommentLuv.

      The way you are using keywords will not work. You need to focus on ONE phrase per comment or you will never rank for anything. What you put in this comment would require a searcher to type all that for you to show up high in the search results.

      Do you really think anyone is going to search for all those words at one time? Focus on one phrase at a time.

      Yes, moderating can be a challenge but it is worth it to me to support small businesses. The spammers can be very annoying and I regularly share tips for bloggers are what IS spam and what is NOT spam because many automatically delete comments they don’t like or that link to any business and that is a bad thing to do.

      I’ve linked to my latest post about that in CommentLuv in this reply and have explained why supporting small businesses is key to improving our economy.

      I’m sure it will have an affect, but people will have to adjust what they can buy as the Euro’s value declines. They could lock in prices by paying in advance, but if they do they need to have some contingencies in their agreements with vendors and suppliers.

      I like your tip about keeping the live music and downsizing or using a less expensive venue. There are many unusual venues brides can consider from gardens to community centers to the home, yard or business of someone they know.

      PageRank is really a red herring to keep the naive busy worrying about link juice instead of focusing on what matters much more: better search engine positions.

      That said, Google has a monopoly on search and they are taking away the traffic they used to give: Google giveth; Google taketh away – so wise bloggers and businesses will focus on alternative ways to get traffic from REAL people through networks of blogs and using social network to create REAL RELATIONSHIPS.

I don’t know how many visitors you have each day, but I mean, a site that have thousands of visitors a day would have their hands full removing spammy comments. I’m hesitant to use this plugin on my site because of that. What do you think?

      Hi Lars,

      Yes they are and yes there CAN BE more spam as spammers love to target dofollow blogs that use KeywordLuv; however, allowing keywords and being dofollow also attracts other influential social media savvy bloggers who give of their time freely to promote other blogs and good causes through linking, commenting and sharing on social networks.

      Allowing keywords is also key to supporting small businesses and THEY are the cure for economic declines everywhere. I write regularly about How We Can Support Small Businesses and How to Use CommentLuv to Improve the Economy.

      Another benefit to being a dofollow CommentLuv KeywordLuv blogger is that other bloggers in our community will heavily support you. I explain why in my Top Marketing Blogs post.

      Vernessa @CoachNotesBlog has installed a forum for us to discuss important information and I will be bringing in only the bloggers who are sincerely about doing the right thing and not just PRETENDING they are when they are really keeping score and only do for others if they believe the payoff is great enough for them.

      The key to dealing with the spam is blocking automated spambots. As long as Andy can keep the spammers blocked using the GrowMap anti-spambot plugin (G.A.S.P.) or CommentLuv Premium which has GASP built in we can block 96% of spam comments and let 100% of real comments through. Then we only have to determine which comments left by humans are actually spam – and that CAN be a challenge.

      I write about what IS spam and what is NOT spam frequently. I’ll put my latest post on that subject in CommentLuv in this reply.

    Keywordluv is great and allows both commentators and blog owners to connect in a more beneficial way with each other.

    What I dislike is when you do have Keywordluv installed and some comments still do not use their name but just put their anchor text in the name field.

    It is what I call abuse.

      Hi Richard,

      Check out the CommentLuv search engine I link to in the post I’ll put in CommentLuv in this reply. We use DoFollow, CommentLuv and Keywords (now a part of the CommentLuv Premium plugin but previously a separate plugin called KeywordLuv) on all of our blogs.

      Bloggers who choose to be dofollow fear that combination will lose them PR. For years it did not cause us any reduction, then the update before last we were dropped from PR4 to PR3 when we expected to go to PR5, but during the last update we were restored to PR4.

      Few blogs allow as many links in comments as we do. Being DoFollow and allowing keywords and CommentLuv attracts real readers and loyal commenters who value their time and know they get to read content they are interested in, build backlinks, and attract real visitors from our blog back to their own.

      On the rare occasions that I comment in a non-CommentLuv blog I really miss it. I go out of my way to comment in CommentLuv blogs and only comment in any other blogs if I have something really important I feel needs saying.

      There is a core group of bloggers who understand that value of supporting each other and small business and they will stay dofollow. Those who change back and forth are trying to get the benefits from being dofollow but not hold up their side of the exchange.

    Hi Tom,

    The usual reason is that they are afraid of Google lowering their PageRank, moving them down in the search engines, or dropping their sites altogether because Google is anti-dofollow and links in comments.

    People have been conditioned to “only trust big brands” so they often delete links to businesses and even I am not thrilled about the links you use because payday loans are one of the best examples of predatory lending so valued by the greedy and perpetrated on the desperate:

    “The Predatory Lending Association mission: To help predatory lenders extract maximum profit from the working poor and retired poor with payday loans.

    The predatory lending industry: In the last 10 years, payday loan stores have gone from being illegal to outnumbering Starbucks™ coffee shops in many states.

    “Predatory Lending: Maximum profit: In 2006, American families spent one in seven of their take home dollars on debt payments 1. The Predatory Lending Association is the only organization dedicated to helping you capture these dollars. “

    Have you ever considered writing about what is WRONG with predatory lending instead of recommending them? Before lobbying dollars made them legal they would have more accurately been referred to as loan sharks.

      Something VERY STRANGE is going on and I do not like it ONE BIT. The most likely perpetrator is Automattic. They already hijacked comments in self-hosted blogs running their JetPack plugin and now this.

      It may be time that WordPress bloggers must find someone who can take WP back to when it forked and Automattic took it over who can provide us with a clean CRM that will not be censored against our will.

      Hi John,

      I’m not sure what you mean. You know that there are now two ways that bloggers allow keywords in the name field:
      1) They use free CommentLuv plugin and free KeywordLuv plugin
      2) They bought CommentLuv Premium

      Either way, CommentLuv (the link at the END of a comment) is separate from KeywordLuv (the link in the name field).

      In your comment just above this reply you have keywords in both fields so I don’t know what you mean. You are obviously registered with CommentLuv or your CommentLuv link would not be there.

      Can you give me a URL on any site where you see an image instead of keywords so I can see what you mean?

      Hi John,

      No, I didn’t say anything like that. I said this blog has a lower pagerank than it should because of the large number of comments and outgoing links in the comments.

      I do not sell text links and it is unwise for anyone to offer to sell text links or buy them because that is explicitly against their TOS.

      At some point each person has to decide for themselves whether they are going to let corporations control their thinking and what they do or they are going to do the right thing and let the chips fall wherever they may. I believe in doing the right thing whether that 800# gorilla approves or not.

      I get to know my readers, what they offer, and what is most important to them quickly based on the keywords they choose and then I can connect them with collaborators and potential customers.

      I get pages of comments but IMHO they aren’t “spammy” or “of no real value”. Just because someone understands the value and importance of link building does NOT mean they are not interested in learning more about the topics covered here and do not have valuable insights to share with me and my readers.

      Often you can learn as much in the discussions in my comments here as you do from my posts.

      Hi Andri,

      CommentLuv Premium incorporates six plugins including DoFollow, CommentLuv, KeywordLuv, GrowMap Anti-spambot, Trackback Validation and Twitter Field plus the Top Commentluvvers widget AND it encourages commentators to share your content on Twitter, Facebook or Google +.

      @MavisNong published a review of CommentLuv premium that has some great detail in it.

    I think more people should use the keywordluv plugin, it certainly makes a difference from not having it as people don’t tend to contribute as much as when you do have it. It’s really useful to get backlinks to web pages and increase traffic and the bloggers get their comments they need! Thanks

    Thank you so much for this article, a great reminder and clarification of how key the CommentLuv movement is for us bloggers. It has also made me realized I need to double check that I not only have the CommentLuv plug in, but also Keyword Luv and DoFollow plug-ins as well.

    Very cool P.O.V. I always wondered why people were so reluctant to allow KeywordLuv, despite the fact that it encourages people to comment more, and forces them to actually post a relevant comment. I had a question though, as far as SEO, do you recommend linking to the main page only, or to the other pages on the website? (blog posts etc.)

    Reply

      Hi Mort,

      For the blog where you comment whether your link lands on your main page or other pages doesn’t really matter although if you have a related page that is best for both of you.

      For the blogger who is receiving the incoming link (you when you’re leaving a comment) it is best to have key pages or posts to which you create links using a specific keyword phrase. For details see my post about Using Anchor Text.

      Posts and pages are better than category pages because on most blogs those are probably set to not be indexed. That may or may not be true on every blog – it depends on the theme you’re using and how your SEO including SEO plugin options are configured.

    This is really helpful to me – I honestly never knew what the whole “keyword Luv” thing was about since I’m a little new at affiliate marketing. BUT, I know enough to know the importance of getting our keywords into our anchor text. I think that keyword Luv is actually going to cut down on the amount of “junk comments” in general since we’re allowed to use our anchor text. I think people will be a little more inclined to leave thoughtful, content-rich comments. Thanks so much! 🙂

Hopefully more people will take the time to read what they are responding to lol, until then it’s the delete button for me.

But I think that most involved in SEO work have evolved to more sophisticated techniques. I think for the most part Keywordluv is a great give and take. It allows a valuable exchange of information for both blogger and commentor.

      Hi Larry,

      CommentLuv creates communities among bloggers and KeywordLuv allows blogs and businesses to link their best anchor text instead of their names so that their comments become more valuable as incoming links.

      I’ve added anchor text for you so you can see what I mean. This post explains how to use KeywordLuv but all you have to do is add @ keywords after your name when leaving a comment like this:

    Your article exposing their alterior motives is spot on, although I have come accross even more official evidence then you mention, of their secret allegiances.

    As far as commentluv goes I really do think that it captures the essence of long-term online business building success, and that is community involvement.

    While I do appreciate your argument for leniency upon those who are either too rushed, lazy or witless to post an intelligible comment, I really think they ought to at least fairly represent the English language. There are so many posts, ostensibly from people outsourced to build links for pennies in countries like India, that read like a tornado has passed over them.

    Hi Joshua,

    If you have any blogs that are dofollow and have both CommentLuv and KeywordLuv installed please be sure to leave a link here in the comments with your desired landing page and anchor text so I can add you to the blog list in this post.

    If you’re not sure what anchor text to use, read the post I’ve put in CommentLuv in this reply.

The key I think in my opinion is with keywordluv et al we are able to reach a sort of win win situation which is always ideal in any situation.

    Hi!
    I just installed commentluv yesterday and the keywordluv plug-in today. Keywordluv confused me a bit because I can’t see it on my blog yet. But from what I understood, one can just test it to see if its compatible for their theme. The tips really help alleviate the confusion.

    And I think its great that you’re compiling a list of bloggers who are using these plug-ins, it will definitely help in the long-run.

    I think both the KeywordLuv and CommentLuv are great plugins.They do encourage people to leave comments and increase readership. But the problem is getting quality comments as well as going through each comment to weed out those spammy ones. I suppose you will always have to take the good with the bad and make the best out of it. 😉

    I’m relatively new to the whole keywordluv scene but from what i have read and can make out from it, it seems to be a great idea. If you can get the time to moderate the comments or use a good spam filter, it will benefit your blog. Another bonus is not replying to comments of people whose names are just a bunch of keywords. You can feel like you are actually striking up a conversation with a real person. This is definitely one of the best posts i have read about keywordluv. You have covered just about every question that could be asked. Well done

    One thing I have noticed lately is that many blogs that you find that have keywordluv don’t accept or keep up with comments. The site will say it uses keywordluv and yet comments are closed or they have accepted no comments. To me that seems strange, but I have had a hard time lately finding decent blogs relative to the keywords on my site that have keywordluv and actually accept comments. When you do find one it’s like striking gold.

    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi P.Johnson,

    I am doing my best to get bloggers and businesses to understand all the things that are fixed to make our success doubtful and what we should do about it. We can not allow the few wealthy elite’s greed prevent the many from enjoying a decent standard of living – and that is what we are doing when we believe their PR and cave into their threats to ban us from the search engines.

    There is more than one way to be found. If Big G throws us out of their search results we can still find each other through CommentLuv links between blogs and on Social Networks. If they start banning us we’ll just keep moving over and inventing new solutions.

    Business owners who can’t afford to take a stand yet because they rely too much on traffic from Big G can let those of us who don’t have to rely on search engine traffic speak for them until their business models change or we can send them enough business other ways.

      You’re using it correctly. Just remember to only link phrases that you believe someone is actually going to search on. I wasn’t sure running all the words together like that would work but I just tested in my favorite Google alternative search engine DuckDuckGo and it did.

      Leaving spaces between them will NOT work in most blogs because most bloggers limit you to two or three words. Always read the comment policy to find out what they do if you can find one.

      Hi Tabby,

      There really isn’t any such thing as “nofollow” because if they’re indexed (which they are) they must have actually gotten followed by the crawler – right? That said, it is believed that MOST nofollow links do not improve your search engine position (serps) but SOME on highly trusted, high PageRank sites actually DO improve your serps.

      How is that for clear as mud? The best SEOs usually recommend focusing on dofollow links but getting some nofollow links too so that your linkbuilding is less likely to trigger suspicion by the search engines.

          Hi Tabby,

          One key thing to remember is that many so-called SEO experts intentionally spread bad advice because it makes it easier for them to dominate the serps. If most of the world is doing what doesn’t work that makes it so much easier for the few that do what DOES work.

          The bottom line is Big G can slap, ban or outright censor anyone they so choose. One of my best posts showed 0 incoming links in Google even though there were backlinks in related posts on several top SEO sites and blog posts written by many highly respected SEO bloggers – UNTIL I complained about that specific page in the comments of this blog during the time when I first called out Akismet – and the next day Google showed backlinks to that post. Imagine that. I wonder how that could happen (she says sarcastically).

          Does G often go after specific sites? Usually only if you really annoy them or you compete with them (see the post I’ll put in CommentLuv about them slapping some of their strongest competitors in this most recent Farmer aka Panda Update).

          Google has attempted to censor some sites in the past such as when they attempted to censor Alex Jones InfoWars and prevent his InfoWars videos going viral, but if you have a large enough following willing to scream about it – as Alex did – they will often reverse what they did and then there will be a Google cover-up.

          Many more sites that get slapped are victims of “collateral damage” from Google tweaking their algorithms to target someone else. Anyone who ever took a programming class knows that there are often unintended consequences whenever you make changes.

          Internet users need to be aware that if they only use one search engine they are letting that entity control what they see and limit it to what they want you to see. That is precisely what has always been true of the major media (even though they go to lengths to provide the illusion that some media leans left and other leans right) – controlled by the few who use it to condition the masses to believe the illusions they want them to believe.

          The wealthy global elite loved it when they controlled all the media and they are quite unhappy that the Internet can be used to spread the truth and wake people up. That is why Net Neutrality is so important. If we allow them to they WILL take create an Internet of haves (their buddies and the few willing to shell out big bucks so their sites will still load) and have-nots (all those annoying useless eaters who don’t want them to legalize euthenasia who keep waking up their slaves).

      Hi Robert,

      CommentLuv and KeywordLuv have different purposes, but as a commentator you can use CommentLuv default links to link specific keywords or keyword phrases instead of KeywordLuv.

      CommentLuv shares either your default link or one of your last ten posts while KeywordLuv allows you to link your keywords from the name field and still put your name in that field without your name being linked.

      I added a keyword phrase to your comment so you could see what KeywordLuv does. Read How CommentLuv Grows Businesses and Blogs to better understand what CommentLuv does.

    The only problem I find with Keywordluv is that it tends to atract a lot of spammers. To be honest if it is a manual comment hand written I dont mind if they use keywords I just hate it when you get a comment that says “nice blog” that for me takes the piss. Its obvious that is a SPAMMER I hate them I have had to shut multiple blogs because of these spammers it really bugs me. Even with Akismet spam filter you still get them I would try using a capture code to be fair that seems to help. Although these spammers are very clever and they can even get around the bloody capture code

      Hi Mike,

      There is little is life that does not have pros AND cons. I am working on crafting a commenting policy that covers all the ins and outs of dealing with spamming plus objectionable links.

      Akismet just doesn’t work so we now have a better antispam solution created by Andy Bailey from CommentLuv and named after this blog. There is a tab in the header for G.A.S.P. and that stands for GrowMap anti-spambot plugin.

      That page contains a three-step process that eliminates almost all spam. The spammers were probably not getting around the captcha code – they were using trackbacks that looked like comments. That is handled by step two of the process we use.

    I honestly think that Commentluv is a great way to attract good comments, which will really contribute to the discussion. With that said, we’ve been talking about it for a while now and most bloggers still look down upon it. I’d say that if you are commited to your blog, you’d have nothing to fear and commentluv can become a great tool.

      Yes and no. google now considers a ton of signals to consider when deciding how to rank websites. I have a 1 year old domain with two pages that I dont care about that only has two links but now has a PR of 3.

      On the other hand, Google has been public about using PR for how deep and frequent they crawl a site. This would be useful for large sites with hundreds and thousands of internal pages.

    It never was very supported but the creator will usually reply. Why do you think it is not supported? Has yours quit working? If yes do you know why, i.e., did you upgrade to a new level of WordPress and that caused it?

    If KeywordLuv does stop working or you want an alternative (or to use both) look at CommentLuv default links explained in the post I’ll put in CommentLuv in this reply.

      I don’t think they’d block links or cause them to be nofollow if the blog is using a follow plugin, however pagerank changes over time (interesting to note this post used to have a pagerank of 4 and now it is down to 2), plus having many many outgoing links on one page lessens the effect of the “link juice”.

      Hi Peter,

      KeywordLuv has always had a very small following and many of us still use and offer it. I claimed the Twitter account @KeywordLuv and am probably one of the major promoters of using it.

      Tristan has registered the keywordluv.com domain and will be adding content related to KeywordLuv blogs there. We may combine the lists of KeywordLuv enabled blogs that we know of and publish them there.

      We’re all getting older. 🙂

    I think KeywordLuv is a win-win for everyone involved. It motivates people to actually read articles and give thoughtful responses vs. just being spammy and leaving a “good post!” review in hopes of getting a link. If the bloggers can handle the traffic and new comments and sift through the spam, it really makes the entire blogging experience better. It’s just a shame it has come to the point where people are so spammy over no-follow links. And I am bookmarking this post to go through the other KeywordLuv blogs!

    [Edited the URL in your comment to go directly to your blog and not to your blog feed. If you want more visitors it is best to use your blog URL and not your feed URL. That could be why you haven’t had more new comments – most will just leave the feed page because they can’t tell enough about your blog to know if they want to subscribe.]

      Hi Andy,

      The best way to attract high quality readers and commentators who are usually other bloggers is to go out visiting CommentLuv blogs. Try searching on photographers, wedding photography, northampton and any other keywords of interest in the CommentLuv search engine.

      Find posts that interest you and leave comments that include your most related post or page. See How CommentLuv Works and register your site first.

      You might also want to set up some CommentLuv default links so you can build links using your most relevant anchor text because that allows you to always have your best wording available when commenting – even if it isn’t one of your last ten posts.

      Many of our readers just hate captchas so we came up with an even better solution: the GrowMap anti-spambot plugin. It blocks bots while making sure our readers can comment. It replaces Akismet which prevents many of the most active, highest quality commentators from commenting in blogs.

    CommentLuv and KeywordLuv plug-ins are really good & give equal benefit to both blogger as well as commentator.

    I personally think that commentator should get benefit from the blog in the form of back link. Because he is the only who keep the post update regularly by his comments which is very important to make the post popular.

    Hello,

    The thing about commenting and spam is that there is no consensus about what spam is. I know that I have many readers who originally found my blog seeking a dofollow site or one that uses KeywordLuv while backlinking. Does that automatically make their comments spam? I do not believe it does.

    Some bloggers only want their “friends” to get links from their blog but how do you know if you’re their “friend” or a spammer? That is why many of us are active primarily in our CommentLuv circles where we know who welcomes us and who doesn’t.

    One sad loser in the whole “comment spam” issue are new commentators who don’t know that a short comment containing a sincere compliment is going to be automatically seen as spam. How could they know?

    Since this is a teaching blog and I want new Internet users and bloggers to feel welcome I am far more lenient on what comments I will approve here. I prefer to teach how to leave better comments so commentators aren’t left wondering why their comments disappear.

    Key word luv is such a good idea. Genius! After all, many people want to leave comments on other blogs to build backlinks, and to do that effectively you need to have the keyword as the anchor text. But if you put your keyword in as your name, in most cases it screams out “Spammer”. And keyword luv solves that.

    Genius.

      While Andy wrote the GrowMap anti-spambot plugin he doesn’t answer comments here. I have written many posts for CommentLuv so I’m sure that causes some confusion about who is where.

      This plugin is a blessing for bloggers and saves me so much time. I’m tempted to Tweet thank you to Andy every time I log in and don’t have a sea of spam to slog through facing me.

      If you love KeywordLuv do check out CommentLuv default links. You can use them to turn the CommentLuv field in any CommentLuv-enabled blog into the anchor text links you need.

    I for one don’t enjoy commenting for the sake of link building and I do enjoy link building in the course of commenting.

      As more and more blogs in every niche become available and the number of blogs that are dofollow and offer CommentLuv and KeywordLuv grows, the issue of spammy comments will decrease because link builders will be able to visit more sites that are in their own niche.

      I believe what we will see is many overlapping CommentLuv communities of related sites. That will allow us to build relationships and links at the same time.

      There is no consensus on exactly what spam is when it comes to comments; however, I firmly believe in being dofollow and believe even more in using CommentLuv. Once you’ve been active in the CommentLuv community you’ll miss it every time you go to comment in a blog that doesn’t have it.

      By commenting in related blogs your links are more valuable but more importantly, the blogs can share their readers among themselves. You can start with Stephanie’s photography blog. Since she is also a writer and woodworker it may be different than the typical photo blog you’ll see.

    I am totally loving this keywordluv plugin, it helps us get the backlinks that we need in order for our website to get more traffic and it also helps increase pagerank! Thanks !

    I really like the KeywordLuv plug-in, but I don’t like that you put the anchor-text in the name-textbox. This is unintuitive 🙁

    Fantastic list. I’ve been promoting KeywordLuv for ages but have never seen a list like this!

    Scott KWL also has worked so well for me it has made a lot of my blogs much better, people tend to leave relevant comments, so my site keeps growing with unique content….

    I was adamant at using keywordluv before but good thing a friend helped me on how to use it. But after some weeks, another pal told about this commentluv… I tried commenting using “@” on it but it is of no use… what is then the diff between the two???

    It is great to see bloggers that are willing to reward people for commenting on their blog and it can be a great way for new bloggers to get that following started when they first start.

    “I highly recommend going beyond exchanging comments to linking to and writing about each other’s sites.” That is a great suggestion and I think more people should beware of that, kind of like taking it to the next step.

    By reading the comments on your site, I learned more about the Luv plug ins and about making your site do follow. Thanks for sharing this information to us. Lots of bloggers will learn from this. Thanks!

    Thanks for such a comprehensive article. And I will definitely be checking out the resources by niche, very helpful indeed.

    As to your lengthy reply a few comments above, there is no way that dofollow harms a site in terms of SEO, I agree. Otherwise there is no way that sites like bluehatseo would be dofollow, he knows his stuff too.
