Videos get comments!
I’m still in mid-launch mode for the new version of CommentLuv and I’ve been blown away by the amount of interaction and feedback that I’ve received from everyone. The first video got 5 pages of facebook comments, the second video got 100 comments in less than 24 hours (um, including my replies, that is) and well, the third one might even have more because I’m going to try and make it even easier to leave a comment and I’m giving away free stuff!
Free money!!
If you haven’t joined the list of people that are able to see the videos then you’re missing out on a chance of free money! seriously, even if you don’t have WordPress and this is a launch for a WordPress plugin, you might want to visit this page to add your name to the list anyway because sometime in June, I will be drawing a random list subscriber out of a digital hat and awarding them a prize of money-cash-moolah!
Come and see the video to find out how much the prize is and how easy it is to enter
http://www.commentluv.com/ <-- now has a brand new intro video that I made just this morning!
Free bonus plugin!
Yup, a custom plugin that hasn’t been released just for people that are on the list. It’s a cute little thing that the readers who comment on your site will appreciate. Especially when you use it to visit them on their blog posts to return their comment.
You get that on the 3rd video which is getting released soon, make sure you’re on the list so you don’t miss out!
here’s the link again, opt in to get the goodies!

Great article! Google loves blog comments, and the small loss of page rank by allowing outbound links is a small price to pay for all the fresh content you gain with comment Luv.

Outbound inks are not necessarily bad right? Only excessive and irrelevant ones are (correct me if I’m wrong…)

Having lots of outbound links will dilute your site’s internal pagerank. However, Commentluv is nice for thanking people who write good comments. The secret is to reward people who provide useful additional information to your articles, and to not publish those who add nothing.
Ultimately, if your users are adding worthy content to your page, then you are likely to get more links yourself because your page will be more interesting.

Yes, but not anyone can create videos. You need a camera, and some people to talk, actors maybe. It can become expensive.

Great videos, Andy. Waiting for number 3. You’re right that people love free stuff. (I do too). However, it’s not easy giving away stuff unless you get them sponsored. Then again, only the big blogs get sponsorship.
it can be a drag for the small-timer

I know what you mean about sponsorship but, it’s not only sponsors money or goods that you can give away. how about making an ebook from articles or a collection of interviews with bloggers who have had success in a given niche? that will only take some of your time

That’s true. I can easily relate with a video, and a picture is worth a thousand words, hence maybe that is why it may get so many comments.

Great Post Andy. Videos are really such a perfect way to make people understand more about what you have to say. Videos are such a click for almost everyone who visits websites, pages and even on social media networks.
Getting loads of comments on posting a video is easy because most people appreciates watching videos and learning from them. Creating informative videos are even most effective because your viewers will get to learn from the videos that you make and they can express their views and opinions through comments.

Bro! thanks for your great info, putting more video to your blog is one of the great way to get more visitors. Yes Kathy is right readers can easily understand on what you main in your article by watching a right video in your blog. And adding the bonus plugin you’ve mention above, to visit them on their blog posts to return their comment. That’s a great idea to earn more comments… thanks for all idea you’ve shared to me Andy…

People like or need visuals. Plain old text is boring and people do wander in a hurry. Sprucing things up with pictures and videos can help. Don’t toss them too much text though either. If the post gets too long they loose interest fast too. Yet, you need enough to stimulate the mind and add quality. 100 comments is awesome.

I remember a site who made a tactic on how they will get many comments on their blog posts. They make posts that made people debate. That’s how they do it. I just cant remember the address.

I think it really depends on the type of video you make. But I do agree with you that viewing videos is a good way to generate comments. Probably the best kind of videos to make is one that encourages interactivity from viewers.
wow! That’s some achievement. I’ll try to see what i can do with some videos, it should be doable compared to the free plugin method, since me and programming don’t get along at all.
I’m thinking it’s easier to learn some video editing sofware than to learn coding.

Videos are the real deal for attracting my attention, Andy. One thing I notice is the background. Some of them really crack me up. Many video bloggers can greatly improve the impression when they set it up to amplify the message: color, lighting, objects, signs.
