First of all I’d like to thank Gail for the opportunity to write for her blog. February has been THE month of guest-blogging firsts for me: first guest post published on my own blog and – this – very first blog post written for a blog I have enjoyed reading for a while now.
I am always on the lookout for easy ways to drive more targeted traffic to my blog and CommentLuv offers so many benefits that it just can not be ignored. If you haven’t heard of CommentLuv yet, I would suggest you to read Gail’s post on How CommentLuv Grows Businesses and Blogs.
What if there was an optimum way to use CommentLuv to get even more clicks from the comments I leave AND higher search engine rankings? Well, let me share 5 steps that I believe will result in just that: more traffic to your blog from both comments left and search engines.
Step 1: Register with comluv.com
Sounds obvious right? Registering your blog with comluv.com will allow you to have access to 10 links to “drop” in your comments instead of just one when you are not registered.
Not only that, but for just $4/link/year, you can choose to create permanent links (links that will always appear in addition to your last 10 blog posts) to “pillar articles” or posts targeting popular keywords you wish to rank for – Andy at CommentLuv calls these default links.
Benefits for user traffic and search engine rankings: a greater “pool” of links to choose from that gives you more time to promote individual blog posts.
Step 2: Choose the link that is the most relevant
Having now access to 10 links or more (if you bought additional URLs), your regular visits to the blogs in your feed reader should entice you to always select the link that is the most relevant to the post you are commenting on. By “most relevant” I mean the post on your blog that discusses a similar subject to the one where you are leaving your comment.
Benefit for user traffic: people will be drawn to your keyword rich anchor (more clicks) because you are linking to a post that discusses the same topic that the one they just read.
Benefit for search engine rankings: search engines will give more weight to your link because the “context” of the link will be optimal (the page you get the link from being optimised for your own keywords).
Step 3: Hunting down blog posts
If you are like me, you’ll only have between 100 and 150 blogs in your feed reader, but not all of them use CommentLuv. I believe that the actual number of CommentLuv enabled blogs is in the thousands, so you can see the potential traffic and number of links you could be missing out on. Simply head to your favourite search engine and type:
"'s last blog" intitle:"your_keywords"
with the speech marks, and you should find dozens, if not hundreds of new pages to acquire links from (no spamming though!). Once that’s done, you could do a -intitle to find other posts that could be suitable, but do not include your keywords in the title.
[TIP from Gail: You can also se the CommentLuv search engine to search for your interests and keywords.]
Benefits for user traffic: more potential visitors coming from more sources, plus the above benefits discussed in step 2.
Want proof this works? See Gail’s older post
Blog Traffic Up 54.87% in 30 Days – which went on to an increase of 76.63%
Benefits for search engine rankings: not only will you have the same SEO benefits than in step 2 (above) but your “blog links” graph will appear more natural because spreading over many more domains.
Step 4: Cycle through your links
Unfortunately, it is not always possible to find a link in your CommentLuv quiver that is relevant to the post you are commenting on. If that is the case, take the habit of cycling through the links that are available and select a different one for every comment you leave… even if they are on the same blog and especially if they are on the same blog post!
Benefit for user traffic: people who leave comments will be interested in different things, so while your post on PageRank might not interest them, another post on Twitter might (for example).
Benefits for search engine rankings: you gain more deep links to all your blog posts for a better chance of ranking for more competitive keywords. In addition, search engines might only count the first occurrence of a link on a page and discard any later ones. Repeating the same link (with identical anchor) more than once on a page won’t offer any SEO advantage.
Step 5: Slow down new blog post publications
This one will probably get some bashing from full-time bloggers, especially the ones who publish daily, but if you think about it, the more frequently you post, the less time you can rely on CommentLuv to gain links to your blog posts.
One post per day means that you only have 10 days to get links, while posting 3 times a week (still a high frequency, by all accounts) gives you almost a month’s worth of CommentLuv link building time.
Conclusion
CommentLuv is not only a great plugin to get people interested in what was recently published on your blog, but it will also help obtain keyword rich deep links that help your blog rank higher for its target keywords. By following these 5 easy steps you should see your website traffic soar to new heights and remember: always include your keywords in the blog post title for even better anchor text.

Thanks for letting me know. We all know each other, but I have used CommentLuv longer than most anyone else. The plugin that asks you to check the box to prove you’re human / not a spammer was written by the same developer and named after this blog. It is part of CommentLuv Premium.

Oh — wait, so it’s GAIL!!??? I’m sorry. I thought I was talking to a dude. Okay.
You know, to be honest I’ve always suspected that all the top bloggers knew each other (don’t misunderstand: I have nothing against collaboration, or mutual self interest. For years I’ve had the feeling that the top dawgs were the fishermen & we novices were the fish! Catch my drift?).
But still….it’s mighty damn impressive how this “old” post ranks so well for this term. I’m really blown away by that Gail. And for what it’s worth, half this many comments would have gotten props from me.
In fact, I went to download commentluv for my site & decided to upgrade to the Pro version. But I got a weird error msg AND the download screen said that the plugin was untested with my version. I’m running 4.7.2 (for ready reference). Any thoughts?
Thanks for your informative post. All the data provided contains a good information about Higher Blog Traffic.
Your post is a very current and timely one. Your personal insights and the resource you shared could stand to help a lot readers reach greater traffic goals and related success.

Comment Luv is a great plugin for bloggers , it helps in finding and leaving comments on relevant blogs with a promise of getting backlinks.
I like to get backlinks from relevant blogs those have comment luv enabled .
Hi Ashish,
What you need to understand is that not all CommentLuv blogs are dofollow. The default setting in CommentLuv Premium is for the name field to be nofollowed and the CommentLuv link to be dofollowed. But the settings allow the blogger to make them both dofollow (not recommended) or to make them both nofollow (which also nofollows their internal links, so not recommended), or to make the CommentLuv link dofollow after a commenter has left a specific number of dofollow links (the blogger chooses how many).

Great post on Comment Luv. I am checking to see if I can use it for my website as well as my blog. However, not sure if my website linked here can be set up with Comment LUV. Do you have any thoughts or pointers on this?
Hi Steven,
You create an account using a blog, but if you use CommentLuv Premium I believe you could probably feature pages from your actual site. I’m a little rusty on how that works so I’m not 100% sure. Usually we just use it to attract people to our blogs – and from there your blog would help them get to your site.

So, I upgraded to Commentluv Premium and have not once looked back. It is a great plugin and actually very easy to use.
Thank you for the additonal site resources, they are most welcome.
All the best

I am thinking about using Comluv on my sites, i have seen it on a lot of other peoples sites and thought it looks quite good, i think the premium version does look quite interesting also. I need to check it out and have a play around with it, its currently looking quite impressive.

If say truly, this is completely new thing to me. Till now i had got aid other tactics for traffic diversion to my blog. I knew about CommentLuv but never realized it on traffic perspective. No doubt traffic will be come to blog with CommentLuv but there is a lack of attention. Well, thanks for notifying me the fact. Now i will try to analyze it.
I fhink that CommentLuv is the best thing ever. Giving back to the commenters is the way to go. Since I know about CommentLuv, I stopped commenting in these no-follow blogs which do not give me any link juice back. – For what should I add content to a site
i think comment luv is really for marketing purpose only.
I totally disagree. CommentLuv is for getting to know others who read your blog and participate in communities of people who comment and for sharing what is most relevant to the readers of whatever blogs you choose to visit.
If you register your site for CommentLuv and learn how to use KeywordLuv blog readers will know what you do without you being labeled a spammer – provided you write good comments.

I think comment love does something for blogs that is, for me, quite practical: it keep the blog page neat and uncluttered with spam links.
These CommentLuv links are great for traffic but I think old Google isn’t valuing them much.
Hi Misty,
The black hatters are still ranking in search engines because they are commenting like mad in .edu and .gov blogs so it appears that they ARE still valued and commenting does still work.
I also use Comment Luv but when i put comment on other site which use this tool, the last recent post only shows there. What could be the problem?
It depends on the plugin settings. Webmasters have option to decide the number of posts user get to select from.
I mentioned on another comment elsewhere it would be nice to see a comment tool which performed a quick check on the links posted for questionable content. A bit like a “bad neighborhood checker”. Obv would take a bit longer to post but would prevent the crap links coming through.
Does anyone know if these commentluv links are valuable from Google. Seems like Google would have figured this out and a way to remove these links from affecting their search results.
Nice blog. really commentluv plugins is great plugins to get more and more traffics. so thanks for sharing more information about the commentluv plugins.
Nice blog! I knew so many things about commentluv that I didn’t heard earlier. Also I like your blogging style. It’s very creative. Now I realize that commentluv is very useful for anyone who need to increase more traffic for blogs.

Sry for the late answer.
My main problem was at that time, that I couldn’t figure out what was spam and what was real post.
So I went better save than sorry, like you say you can’t tell the difference from spam and a one line comment.
But since then my spam has gone download, so that I now get more real comments then spam. It has also made me look at what I should demand from a commenter, so that now even small post gets approved.

Hi Jimmy,
Figuring out what is spam and what isn’t is a still a struggle for me every day. Anyone who is sure they know what is spam and what is an honest comment is deluding themselves. I know that because I know many of the people who comment here elsewhere and most of them write comments that are just like the spam comments.
All we can do is the best we can do. I give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove me wrong and then I delete ALL their comments once it becomes obvious they’ve been spamming me.
The biggest problem I have now is phony trackback spam. Apparently there are more new tools that generate what look like real trackbacks in your dashboard but don’t actually link to your site and come from either a blog (usually a mediocre one and often one on auto-pilot with no original content) or a bad neighborhood.

CommentLuv all the way for us too..i love it coz you can see results in a short period of time
one of the best plugin your WP can have…so worth it!!
one of the must-have plugins…install it now if you havent
Comment luv can generate a ton of traffic, given you are commenting on sites relevant to your post. The seo benefit for commenting a lot is a no brainer, but you really have to commit some time to see a benefit.

I just added commentluv to my blog. Let’s see what happens in the coming days from it.
It is true that as we are always looking for a commentluv and keywordluv enabled blog, like this many others users also in found of it. So that eventually helps to get good amount of traffic. Nice tips.
Since visiting similar blogs and posting comments on subjects of interest to us is what bloggers do- why not make the most of it with this great CommentLuv resource. Its another evolution in sharing information of interest.
After reading this I grabbed the comluv and gasp plugins and deactivated akismet. Hopefully it works out well. I do like that I now actually have the option of selecting posts when commenting on other comluv blogs though.
Anthony would love you to read ..Acne Diets-Let’s Get Real
I feel that commenting becomes even more interesting on all those blogs which use commentluv. Other than active interactions with other commenters, the traffic of that particular blog also increases and this is great news for all the bloggers. It gives the commenter a do-follow backlink to their own blog.
CommentLuv seems to be growing massively . Good news as I think it’s a great tool for all concerned. Good points on the SEO side of things too.
I am fully agree with Jimmy. He has stated right that commentluv and keywordluv are most important plugins for more traffic.
CommentLuv is a great plugin for both blog owners and commenting bloggers alike. I guess the own concern would be if the blog actually keeps commentluv. If a bloggers uses this commentluv strategy primarily, he/she would lose all the links they worked for if the site owner switches comment plugins.
Hi Dewane,
I have never known of a single blogger who used CommentLuv and stopped, but I know of many who used IntenseDebate or Disqus who switched to CommentLuv.

Unfortunately, I cannot find the CommentLuv Search Engine since the site was re-designed. Do you know if it is still available anywhere?

i appreciate you posting these main infos about comment luv process
Commentluv is a very essential web design nowadays. Aside from the benefits it provide, it is also the one many commentators like us look for.
The good thing about Comment Luv is that it allows bloggers to know the person behind a company’s link building strategy. It makes link building a more personal task and allows for more genuine interaction.
is this really effective? can you show some graphs where we can see the value of considering this tool in blogs? thanks.
Hi Glen,
What kind of graphs? The easy way to see the value of CommentLuv is to note that blogs that use it have far more comments and regular commentators than blogs that don’t.

Hi,
You can use both and be much more strict about what comments you approve than I have been. I’m still working to decide what ‘comment rules’ to have because it is so hard to tell which ones to keep and which ones to delete.
You don’t have to be nearly as generous about comment links as I have traditionally been and I do need to tighten up on what I’m doing here. I encourage you to at least install CommentLuv as it is widely loved by bloggers and has many new features coming.
Thanks Loe for the informative post. I am searching for such kind of infomation for my blog. Comment Luv is the best. I want to know one thing that Can I use comment Luv for my blogger blog?
Hi Jessica,
Yes, you can. See this link to install BloggerLuv on Blogger.
yes one of the great plugin to get backlinks and getting traffic from the these type of plugin…
CommentLuv and keywordluv are the 2 plugins that gives a blog more traffic, and I can see that the quality in the comments I get has become much better. Since they know that in order to get that extra linkjucie, they need to write a comment that gives something to the debate.!
But the downside is that it also gives some spam on my blog, what about yours.??
Hi Jimmy,
There is no consensus among bloggers on exactly what spam is. Even now I struggle with what comments to approve and which to delete because I can clearly see both sides of the issue.
Many bloggers are so afraid of spam that they delete most of the comments they get including many that were innocent comments by ordinary readers.
Others like me understand the value of anchor text links and know that whenever we delete comments we are denying people the benefits they could receive from the time they’re spending commenting.
Imagine how you feel when a blogger deletes your comments. Behind every manually left comment is a real person trying to make a living who may have read your post and just wanted to let you know they liked in. Or there may be a spammer doing the very least to get by who is just looking for a link. Anyone who thinks they can accurately tell the difference is deluding themselves.
ComLuv is a fantastic tool which I have been using for my sites keyword link building campaigns. Your sites receive great quality backlinks from high PR sites just like this one. All links are Do Follow and what is also great it that most site cache you link so that your link doesn’t disappear in a couple of weeks.
Well Done and a big thank you to Andy Bailey CommentLuv founder.
I am always on the lookout for easy ways to drive more targeted traffic to my blog and CommentLuv offers so many benefits that it just cannot be ignored.
I haven’t registered commentluv yet, I didn’t know there are so many benefits.

Hey Leoludwig,
I agree that the increase of spamming is occurring with comment luv. It really has been an effective way of SEO. I heard that there is going to be a new comment luv coming out. Its called extreme or intense comment luv. It will be interesting to see what its like. Thanks for the great information.
Step 3 was incredibly helpful because searching the right blog post to view and learn from is the challenge, and with the right formula as mentioned, the right ones are just a click away!
For step no 3, I believe that comluv has their own google search engine for comluv-enable blog. You can see it from the navigation bar.
Step 5 might be new to me, and it sounds weird at first

Pete, are your commenters bloggers? If YES, then Commentluv is suitable. 😉
Dennis Edell would love you to read ..4 Days to Get in the Top 9! – – Looking for March Sponsors!
It´s very suitable, I have a currency rate / conterver site and are always looking for blogs on currency and/or business with the plugins.!
And if you installed both commentluv and Keywordluv on your blog, you would undoubtedly get far more comments from blogs and sites with the same topic.!
But if to use only CommentLove there will lots of spam. It’s better to combine it with other spam-detection systems. What you, Leo, do.
To be honest I haven’t noticed any difference yet… but as I said in one discussion I had with another blogger – blog spamming is part of the “game”. If you are not prepared to spend some time sorting comment and being strict about what goes through, may be blogging (or at least allowing comments) isn’t the best solution.
I mentioned on another comment elsewhere it would be nice to see a comment tool which performed a quick check on the links posted for questionable content. A bit like a “bad neighborhood checker”. Obv would take a bit longer to post but would prevent the crap links coming through.

I think the efficacy of CommentLuv depends on the blog niche – people with SEO or blogging related sites will see more results as the visitors are more aware of what CommentLuv is.
Hi Rusty, what you say is correct, not only will a blog in the SEO/blogging niche see more results in terms of traffic, but you will also have a larger “pool” of blogs to choose from to leave comments on.
I also use Comment Luv but when i put comment on other site which use this tool, the last recent post only shows there. What could be the problem?
Hello Rakesh,
Read my post How CommentLuv Works for the most likely reasons for that problem. If you enter the wrong URL, instead of your last ten posts you will see only the last published post found in the CommentLuv system.

i also use commentluv found on other blogs to comment. and i thought that it would benefit me to include it on my own blog. i should try it then, after reading this post and see if commentluv is even better when used on my own blog
I love ComLuv. I give us the potential to developp the visibility of our website thanks to qualitative anchor. As bruce, i have noticed that CommentLuv is becoming really popular among various Blogs (even in foreign countries!).
so great job
Hey Leo,
I never thought that registering in https://growmap.com/commentluv-premium can actually be that beneficial. I am also glad you laid it all for us. I can start my hunt again for more commentluv enabled blogs. Thanks to you.

Hello Ward,
One of the easiest ways to find CommentLuv blogs is to follow the links you find in the CommentLuv blogs you already frequent. Another is to use the CommentLuv search engine. There are more tips in my CommentLuv post that I’ll put in CommentLuv in this reply.

Google is also a great place to find commentLuv enabled blogs… what you want – for SEO purposes – is leave comments on posts that already rank well for your target keywords.
I am a firm believer of CommentLuv, though I don’t have much technical knowledge about it. As a blogger I would love to have valid comments, comments which adds a new dimension to my write-up. With CommentLuv installed, I can expect a great quantity of comments, which of course has a adjoining link of the commentator. Both can gain advantage of the same webpage.
From last few days , I was planning to use commentluv but didn’t got good review but you have give nice info on it . I will add this system on my blog for sure soon .
What type of negative reviews did it get? The only one I can think of might be a higher attempt from spammers to get comments through, but overall I would say that it’s only been positives from my experience.
i do not show all the comments that I write, I think I did not set the correct account
Kudos to the inventor of CommentLuv, it’s a win win solution among bloggers.
CommentLuv is indeed a great source of traffic and for finding other blog articles through those that have taken the time to comment on your own blog using this plugin.
I think commentluv works very well. You can get two links one from the name and other from the last blog post. Just great.
it’s too bad they don’t have this tool in blogspot.. or anybody can tell me if there’s a widget that look an work like the commentluv for my blogspot. thanks
Hello,
CommentLuv can work with Blogspot. See the videos on this page on How to Install CommentLuv in Blogspot.

I completely agree that CommentLuv is a valuable blog networking tool. I couldn’t even tell you how many high-quality blog posts I’ve found just from reading other people’s comments. It’s not something bloggers should rely on completely, but it is something that bloggers should try!
Hi Jill, I agree with you… since adding it to my blog I got a few more comments per post (on average), I still monitor every one of them and not all go through, but it helps in the overall scheme of things.
It all depends on what you write, for who you write, one option is not good for everyone, you need to find the one that works best for you.
Even if some had great success with CommentLuv, it doesn’t mean everyone else will. But it’s worth trying.
That is a nice concept.I never knew that you could create traffic from CommentLUV.Besides, I like CommentLUV because it supports dofollow movement.

Great stuff Leo, really taking CommentLuv to another level. From my experience I’ve gotten a lot more traffic thanks to CL and using targeted links on the post I’m commenting on. Time to try the rest of your advice now.
Thanks Robert. Could you give us some example of click throughs when you take the time to select a link close to the post you comment on vs when you don’t?
Do you mean clickthrough rates? As far as I can tell as a traffic source it shows up in Google Analytics as direct traffic rather than a referring site. With a URL like mine there is no way anyone can type it in as many can barely pronounce it. Great thinking on my part – not.
Once I started using CL and networking though the average number of comments on each post more than doubled.
I use CommentLuv on many of the blogs I comment on, but as of yet, I don’t have it installed on my blogs.
My philosophy blog is WordPress powered, so its compatible with that, but it isn’t compatible with my self coded technology and social blog.
I hope to upgrade my tech blog to WordPress soon, and if I do, I suppose it would be worth me giving CommentLuv a go on it 🙂

Hi Christopher, yep I would definitely give both keywordLuv and commentLuv a go when / if you ever decide to more your blog to WordPress… it really make things easier to customize (WP has so many plugins it’s unbelievable)
Okay, thanks very much, I will bear that in mind 🙂

Yep, only just added commentLuv to my blog as well … time to give some more link love to worthy commenters 🙂
thanks for the tips. I just installed comment luv on one of my blogs and from what I read on the post above it seems I am not yet utilizing its full potentials! thanks for the steps 🙂
Great job pointing out the benefits of commenting on CommentLuv enabled blogs, Leo. I’ve experienced an increase in traffic using this plugin, and have never looked back at any other commenting system. When you combine it with Do Follow links and KeywordLuv it’s a powerful motivator for getting your readers to comment.
Congratulations on your first guest post. You did a great job!
Hi Brad, good to see you here. Thanks for the comment and yes, CommentLuv is a great way to “reward” your blog commenters – at least the ones that are reading and adding something useful to your posts.
I havent started using CommentLuv yet but found the information here very helpful. I have noticed CommentLuv is becoming really popular among various Blogs.
Thank you Leo,
I was not aware of the 10 URL’s to choose from option.
I agree with you about getting more traffic by using comment luv.
Since I installed the do follow plug in , comment LUV and Keyword Luv on my blog, my traffic has increased a lot and I get a lot more comments.

I guess that because of the number of new blogs that go live evey day, authors should really offer the maximum of benefits to their readers by sharing some of the LUV they get on their blog.
Thanks for your feedback Clay.
I have been using CLUV for a while now and I have to say, if it wasn’t for CL, my blog wouldn’t have climbed the search engine ranking as fast as it did.
I think other than traffic and link building in general, the best part of using CL is that you get to build backlinks to pages on your blog that normally you wouldn’t have the time to do it.
Satrap yes, CLUV is a great way to build deep link and target long tail keywords. Thanks for your comment!
I will give it a try to see if i will get any result.
Commentluv, can definitely help any blogger to get more interaction on their blog by doing the oldest marketing trick in existence, offering something in exchange, in this case a backlink.
Also, bloggers like you said can use their links to promote some of their posts, but what you missed is that the blog owner can actually use commentluv to interlink his posts while answering to his comments.

I have to say that since I started using CommentLuv on my blog and rotating which of my ten links I use in the comments, my blog has been helped on it’s way.
Though you do have to watch out for those dreaded spammers that try to take advantage of your blog using the CommentLuv plugin, but I suppose everything can be abused!
Is comentluv dofollow? I ask because on many sites I happen to check the comment love links and on a lot of sites it shows it to be nofollow. On this site it is dofollow so I wonder do you have to do something special to turn the dofollow on if you plan to use this on your website?
I think it takes on the default setting of the blog, although some may have dofollow in the signature and nofollow everything else.
Step 5 was my best friend for over 2-yrs when commenting was my one and only bog promotion method…it works!!

Hey Leo,
Been registered with comment luv for some time now but never fully understood the importance of the ten post option.
Thanks for the added insight!
Hi Kathy, the free registration is indeed a great way to widen the options you have when doing link-building, and I think Andy’s idea to have 1 for not registered user and 10 for registered ones is a superb way to build your community (he’s got very close to 37K registered users).
Yes I agree it is a great idea. Adding an additional url is another idea that I’m sure was beneficial to him as well as the user. The cost is well work the diversity it offers.
I just suggested this same thing to my readers on February 15th. Good insight.
Hi Cindi, great article on your site, and great use of the “context” for your link here, I’ll make sure to subscribe to your blog 😉
I didn’t know those things about commentluv, thanks for sharing knowledge i have to register on their site : dd
I have been using commentLuv too but I had no idea about all these things. Really great study done by you.

Shawn would love you to read ..There’s an “h” in French
Do I use CommentLuv, no. Why? Simply because your paying for traffic. If you properly use SEO and work hard on your blog you will generate quality hits, where people will return over and over again. This is like a fly by, and any website can show you traffic built up from other components if they are smart enough. I’m still not fully convinced yet. Nice article though, I enjoyed reading it.
Shawn would love you to read ..There’s an “h” in French
Shawn, what do you mean by paying for traffic? commentLuv is free to use and free to get links to your site. IF you want to push some competitive keywords you may want to pay $4/link/year after they are gone from the drop down box, but otherwise it is totally free
Hi Leo,
I use ComLuv but not used effectively for great link building and drive traffic through it.
I never heard or used such features of ComLuv which you have mentioned here.
Thanking you 🙂 for a wonderful post…
Hi Vijay, my pleasure! I have been ranking on some fairly competitive keywords (6th on 32M results) using this technique only.
Just installed this yesterday on our blog, working great so far. Thanks for the tips. 🙂

Commentluv is an essential tool when it comes to creating traffic and backlinks for both blog owners and commenters. Some clients posted high quality content but didn’t got much traffic on their blogs, however once they used commentluv, traffic started to kick in.
Comment Luv is soul of a blog and SEO. It is has potential qualities to attract high traffic but sometimes attacks of spammers are increased that may control by plug-ins.
