You can get your own content published on this site as long as you have CommentLuv installed on your site.

Doing so means you get exposure to thousands and thousands of other CommentLuv users and your posts get sent out to the massive subscriber list.

Google loves this site and indexes it multiple times per day and posts always get lots of comments so you can be sure of some excellent exposure.

See the Write For Us page for more details

btw.. you can get this author box here

New Anti (human) spam features of CommentLuv Premium

The advanced anti-spambot features of CommentLuv Premium have done a great job of dramatically reducing the amount of automatically generated bot spam on many premium users blogs and now the same dramatic effects can be made with human generated spam with some of the new features that have just been added to CommentLuv Premium

User warnings

This is the brand new feature available to CommentLuv Premium users. Instead of sending the comments to spam where you’ve got to go through them anyway you can set the plugin to warn users why their comment would not be accepted and give them a chance to go back and fix it.

This means that the comment doesn’t even get entered in to your database unless it passes the rules that you set in the settings. You can even specify what message gets displayed.

Maximum URLs in the comment

I’m sure you’ve seen those comments in your moderation queue with a bazillion URLs to all sorts of questionable sites. With this new feature you can set a maximum number and any comment with more will (depending on what you have set the plugin to do) get sent to spam, moderation or denied completely.

Maximum words in the name

Prevent Mr. buy my crap and stuff from leaving comments by restricting the amount of words that someone can enter as their name

Minimum words in the comment

Fed up with ‘nice post thanks!” and other waste of time comments? Now you can set the minimum amount of words that a comment needs to have before it will be accepted.

Minimum amount of seconds before commenting

This is one of the most effective ways of combating the human generated spam caused by users of tools like scrapebox that automatically load a comment form into the application and pre fill all the fields so the user only has to click the submit button.

By specifying that a user has to be on the page at least 10 seconds before they can submit their comment then you can be sure that someone using an automated tool would much rather spam someone else than wait the required 10 seconds to submit another comment on your site.

Genuine users, even really fast typists who are responding to a few comments on the same page will take at least 10 seconds to read the comment and type their response.

Extra viral goodies

Another new feature that will help your posts to go viral is to show when previous commenters click on the social enticement buttons when they commented.

When a new commenter sees that other people have used the +1, like or tweet buttons to get a dofollow link then they are much more likely to use the buttons on their comment.

You get to see in the admin page too

It keeps getting better!

With a CommentLuv Premium license, you get all of these features and you get to have all the new up and coming features for FREE FOR LIFE because a premium customer gets support and updates forever. For just one payment!

    I’m loving CommentLuv Premium right now. I bought it a few months ago and it seems to be getting better and better. When I bought it it did even have all these new goodies and it was still good value for money. I just uninstalled akismet there is no point me using It anymore with the new features that are on GASP.

    great work Andy

    Keep does updates flowing (“,)

      thanks! I have lots of more goodies that I want to add to the plugin that will make responding to comments and including your recent posts in the admin pages and some other tasty treats too.

      This morning, I’ve just added some code to make sure the comment doesn’t get lost if the user sees the GASP error. it’s live on this blog now

      thanks for being a customer!

    These features are so innovative. I noticed the new user warnings settings right here before a couple of days. It was to do with the amount of time it took me to load the page, enter comment and click on “Post comment”. I got a error saying I did not spend enough time reading the article. This happened to be because when I first submitted the comment, there was a browser cache issue. I had to reload the page and submit it again. So, reload time + pasting the same comment + post comment button was less than 10 seconds.

    The last time I commented here I said keep the features coming. You definitely hit the mark with these. I am a genuine commenter and a lot of my comments get sent to spam folders; which frustrates me no end. I take the time to write meaningful comments and there is no way for me to prove that the site owner that I am genuine. I think this will make a lot of difference to how bloggers and their audience are able to interact.

    This is really cool Andy! I got your email about it today and came along to look into it more. I like the feature requiring minimum words, as I tend to get comments that are only around a sentence long. I also like the minimum time on page filter. Do you have any ideas as to what a good word count to require would be? I really like the idea of encouraing commenters to leave longer comments. Not only does it prove they’re legitimate, it gives me more to reply to. My blog is still new, so I like to personally reply to each comment.

      i have found a minimum of 5 comments and 10 seconds is pretty good . I know some people have set 20+ minimum word requirements and haven’t had an issue.

      Each blog will be different I think, it all depends on what your community is used to.

    Hi Andy,
    I am using Blogspot platform for my blogs. Can I use CommentLuv plugin on Blogspot blogs?

    Now I am planning to create a new blog on WordPress platform, I have registered following domain name since last 2 years:

    KeywordLuv.com

    But I am feeling hesitation to use this domain as I am not sure about its legal aspect. I mean if I use KeywordLuv.com for my blog then what can the owner of KeyWord plugin do?

    Moreover, if you are interested to buy KeywordLuv.com, please contact me at web_nazam (at) live.com

    Andy,
    I have switched from Disqus to CommentLuv and then to CommentLuv Premium. Each step was a huge leap forward. Now you just keep adding goodness at every turn.

    Thanks so much!

    Many commentluv premium users find this plugin very useful. All the features of this newly improved plugin absolutely solve the users need for their sites. Specifically, to protect their sites from others who simply drop their links to blogs.

    This is good news! I’m sick of short comments. It means I’ll spend less time on managing my blog :D Some commentators aren’t spammers, but they absolutely annoy me with their short answers.

    This combined with Antispam Bee really dumped any spam I had in the container, straight up. Best combo since Aksimet was actually free.

    I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for all the work and updates you are putting in order to keep commenluv premium at the top.

    Since the last update spam for me seems to be a thing of the passed.
    Since installing commentluv on my blogs, spam as gone from around 100 a day to 0…

    Thanks Andy for your dedication…

    Love the plugin, but how come when I’m moderating comments that my name shows with “warned”

    like this: Bruce (WARNED)

    If I’m seeing this, is everyone else on the blogs I place comments?

    And I’ve only ever been a good boy!

    Hey these sound like some great updates. I had always worried that putting commentluv on my site would just attract spammer galore and I would need to filter a lot out manually.
    I might give this a go now as I love the idea of encouranging commenting and debate, thank you for greating this great plugin :)
