Posted By: If you’ve left a comment on my site then you might have noticed that I use this plugin called: “CommentLuv“.
The CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin will visit the feed of the comment author and attempt to scrape the last post they made and display it under their comment, this way you can encourage people to join in the discussion of your posts and give something back straight away.
With this pluging I like to encourage people to comment, joining in the discussions of my post and giving something back to the commentator straight away.
What benefits does this have for you, as a commentator?
- Increased Traffic / Readership:
You can increase your traffic and readership of your blog. Why? As people visit and read through the comments, they can see the titles of each person’s latest post. So If you’ve a great post titles, you WILL get traffic from this source and don’t forget that some of this traffic will convert to regular readers if people like your the stuff you write about.- Benefits To PageRank
If the blog you leave a comment behind is a Do Follow blog, (like mine!:razz:) it will send you visitors your way but it will also pass you a little bit of PageRank.Source: Scratch99.com
For maximum exposure and benefit when commenting on CommentLuv enabled posts you should turn off FeedBurner redirect in RSS feeds.
Anyway, As I didn’t like the original CommentLuv badge I wanted to make my own. Jep, like the You Comment I Follow badge. Anyway, this is what I came up with. Cool isn’t it??

This plug-in definitely increased comments and your badge looks far more cooler too.

Cool badge. Would be cool if there was one for keywordluv also…I use keywordluv, but not commentluv on my blog.
Cool Revenue.. I’ll add you in the big list of commentluv blogs!
I still haven’t installed keywordluv yet Simon, but if I like it, maybe I’ll make some badge for it!
Thanks for the useful post, and debate in the comments. There are pros and cons to KeywordLuv and CommentLuv. For me, CommentLuv has a slight advantage as it provides a deep-link to a blog post, as well as a general link to the homepage. Assuming you have keywords in your post-titles, you get the best of both.

It’s no problemAran! I like to see my badges on as many blogs as possible!
Interesting!
CommentLuv helps you reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their site. This gives them improved anchor text, which can help their site rank higher in the search engine results.
You can now leave a comment with your name as well as a keyword of your choice here and get a PR5 link back to your site! How cool is that? People pay big bucks for that and all you have to do is comment here.

I’m curious about your badge, so I’m going to check it! 
Awesome! Let me know what you think of it. My photoshop skills are low but I try.
Justin´s last blog post..What is Entrecard?
It looks a bit like mine, but I Like it Justin!
Yep I used the same shape as yours. I then got the heart from the CommentLuv site and did a gradient on the background.
Justin´s last blog post..Check out CamoSpace - a mySpace for Outdoors folks
Nice job Justin! Photoshop isn’t that hard to learn, all it takes it’s a bit practice!
Commentluv: how to find it how to get it…
Recently all over the media on sites such as on caroline middlebrook’s blog and FiddyP they have talked about the word press plugin called ‘CommentLuv’.
It is no argument that this plugin is great but little is talked about as far as …
I gave you a trac kback but I dont see it.
oh well
seo blog´s last blog post..Is it harder for do follow blogs to get indexed?
I was wondering about adding the comment love plugin. I thought it might add to spam - although I don’t get much of that. What do you think of the keyword luv plugin? They seem to go hand in hand.
Joe´s last blog post..Why You Need a Spyware Scan Remover
Thanks for the trackback Seo Blog. I get too much comment spam, so if you don’t see your comment immediately it’s because I have to moderate comments and trackbacks.. So that’s why you didn’t see your trackback!
No, it has never giving me any spams Joe. Hmmm.. I’m really going to check the Keyword plugin out! I have said it many times but actually never did that!
Hey thanks for this great article. I must say it’s a win win situation indeed. The keywordluv plugin is so God sent!
sheeva@latest movies´s last blog post..James Bond projected earnings revised
That looks great. Have you put it into any other colors? I wish I were visually talented like that. =(
Spyware Blockers´s last blog post..Spyware Blockers
Hi Spyware Blockers, No it’s only available in those colors.. However.. I might think about putting the Illustrator file online so people can customize it!
