I have been blogging for quite a while now and I would like to share with you why I love ComLuv and how it has helped me in various ways.
ComLuv Provides More Exposure to My Links
I love to comment on ComLuv enabled blogs, heck I even have a special bookmark for ComLuv enabled sites and blogs. Occasionally and if not daily, I’ll visit these sites and leave a Comment on their latest blog entry. Sometimes I try to be the first person to comment on these sites. The reason is simple, ComLuv enables me to advertise my links at those sites automatically. I don’t have to engage in spammy activities like manually posting links in comment box to get my link there.
Who doesn’t like free exposure like that? It is a plus when I become the earliest person to comment on that blogpost because if people are to read other people comments, the will read my comments first and will see my link too. What if thousands of others read that blogpost and its’ comment section? I don’t have to pay a single penny to get that kind of exposure for my link thanks to this brilliant plugin.
More Exposure Leads to More Traffic
True story. As a blogger, I administer where my traffic came and I wouldn’t deny the fact that my commenting habit on ComLuv enabled sites had been very fruitful for me. Some might not agree with me, but let me teach you how.
If let’s say an influential blogger writes about something hot at that time and that you are knowledgeable in that similar topic, then by all means write your own version as well. Here’s the twist, don’t plagiarize from any source and give something that the blogger didn’t mention in his entry. I’m sure there is something. Then put a catchy title, or even better, you can post a reply-kind-of version of that blog post. Of course you can send trackbacks, but then again nowadays webmasters tend to list trackbacks at the bottom, after the comment section. So trackbacks are less effective now but with the CommentLuv plugin, your link will appear there where you commented.
Other readers who are engaged with the topic will read your comment and most likely will click on your link to read further. Yes, that is quality traffic. New readers come in and might be regular readers at your blog
Backlink From a PR6 Site & More Comments!
ComLuv.com is a PR6 site. ComLuv users have the chance to get a dofollow backlink from there by either being the commentator with the most comments or by writing a kick ass blog post and get lots of comments. Your choice. It is actually a beautiful harmony. You see, when you are not posting anything on that day, you just have to go around and leave comments here and there (of course on a CommentLuv enabled sites) and when you’re writing something, you would be accustomed to write entries that could drive lots comments because of the perk.
I’m sure lots of people like me out there who has this mindset that more comments in my entry means it is good that people did not just spend their precious time reading but leaving a comment as well. Although the case is not always that, but then again having lots of comments is some sort of sign that the blog post is popular. By having the CommentLuv plugin installed, I got an increase of up to 20% of total comments per month. That is a lot and can be accountable for something, right?
People love doing something and get rewarded. With that in mind, they treat free advertising through the comment section as a reward for commenting, thus they become less reluctant and more welcome to leave a comment. As simple as that, no rocket science involved here.
***
There you go. ComLuv is just brilliant and I think every blogger should install CommentLuv plugin on their blogs. So what do you think? Would you install CommentLuv after reading this? What’s your experience with ComLuv? Spill it out. Would be great to hear from you.

Great twist there Ariff. I was actually going to write a post (maybe I still will) on how to take more advantage of ComLuv. As you have imagined by now, I am a ComLuv user and I have been using it since I first heard about it and that goes way back. I love it as much as you do and I too encourage everyone who wants to “engage” with fellow bloggers to install it without “blinking” an eye. There is too much advantage to risk not having it… Great post

I have always recommended my friends to use ComLuv because the perks are mind blowing, something that all other bloggers sought after. There’s no doubt about it!

Hi ariffshah. These are some great reasons to luv CommentLuv that’s for sure. I like the example you used of finding something that is missing to make your content unique. That’s a nice way to provide value and attract new readers. Thanks.

Thanks for the comment. Really appreciate it.
All this while, I’ve been working hard to look for unique content for my readers. Even if the topic has been discussed by other bloggers, I always believe that there are other twists and new ideas from different point of view to talk about that very topic.
Readers love interesting & unique content and bloggers who provide that will always have the advantage. It’s just that simple.

hi arif.thanks for the info since I didn’t know that we can get backlink from commentluv site if chosen.It’s about sharing,people come to comment ur entry then their entry will be attached together at the same time.Hopefully the comment is the quality one and not just to promote their link.

Yup , if you get lots of comments on your CommentLuv enabled blog or you yourself had left many comments on other CommentLuv enabled blogs, you will be featured on the front page of ComLuv.com. It is that simple.
When pursuing quantity, people tend to forget about quality. That happens most of the time. In that case I guess you could use the Remove Luv feature in the comment section if you find out that some people is leaving spammy comments.

Very helpful Ariff.
I first stumbled across CommentLuv just before I started a blog. I was impressed. Reciprocal benefit made so much sense. So it became one of the first plugins I grabbed for WP.
I think one big upside is it encourages better comments. I know I make the effort because I’m being rewarded with links.
Drawbacks?
1. Now I hate commenting on non-CommentLuv sites.
2. No one else in my industry has caught on yet, so the links I’m building aren’t industry specific.
Twitter: ariffshah
says:
Thank you for your comment Dr. Joe.
I couldn’t agree more with you on the drawbacks. After I started using CommentLuv, I always have this preferential treatment to comment on blogs that have CommentLuv. It’s like an addiction I should say because there is this satisfaction when seeing my links appear on other blog posts.
I guess you should encourage your friends more to use CommentLuv. It will be fun!
ariff´s recent blog post ..Memerlukan Sokongan Blogger Malaysia
Hi Ariff, quite interesting, but I want to know, do CommentLuv plug in work on Blogger? Or only on wordpress?
Can you give me some other sites using CommentLuv?
Twitter: ariffshah
says:
Glad you asked. I have written a comprehensive tutorial on installing CommentLuv by using Intense Debate as the comment handler for your Blogger blog. Check it out http://ariffshah.com/tutorial-pasang-commentluv-blogspot/
Please note that it might not work on some Blogger templates due to compatibility issues but just give it a try.
Have a nice day =)

I used to use the plugin on my blog a couple of years ago. Commentluv is an easy and effective way to get a deep link and find more great blogs to read and contribute to. Is great for attracting people to comment on my blogs and a great way to build back links to our site.
But KeywordLuv is not availabe for my blog, i dont know why.

Hi ariffshah!
I wanna share my experience too.
Well, I love the comluv plugin because it’s like a sexy girl. It seduce readers to read more than just a post. When people come to my blog, they will stick to my blog because comluv will show them the link to my other post. And more of that, it’s not just showing a link, it has snippet photo together with the link. Cool man!
As a result, I get more page view, more visitors, and more benefit from it. I love comluv plugin. Thank you so much comluv.

I believe blogs with CommentLuv plugin tend to get more comments than other usual blogs. It is an attraction for other bloggers to comment and leave their link as well.
KeywordLuv is also a great plugin as well. Not sure why it is not compatible with your blog, maybe you should contact the developer for support.

Hey Ariff good Insight on Comment Luv Plug-in and Commment Luv Network.I have not specifically targeted blogs with Com Luv but I love commenting on Blogs with comment Luv enabled.
I like your tip of writing similar topic or own version of a hot topic and then utilize Com Luv features to gain traffic.

Thanks for your comment Deepak. Well this reply posts actually inspired when I was watching videos on Youtube. People would create different video stating their own opinion on similar issue and from that I thought, this would be great if it is implemented in the blogging world as well. The chain effect is a good thing to have and works well especially on hot topics.

I’m new to Wp and have just install commentluv as in your recommendation. Yeah, certainly it give advantages to both side, the commenters and blogger. Readers tend to comment more when they see commentluv.
But don’t know why, mine sometimes works, sometimes not. So i decide to remove it until I solve the question mark. Still I want to use comluv so bad. Urgghh

I think the exposure is the best part of CommentLuv, and if you are smart and leave very relevant links on posts you are a commenting on, then you will likely get a lot more traffic. This is why it’s essential to register for ComLuv and have your last 10 posts available to you – that way you almost always have something relevant to leave behind, no matter where you are. And the more URL’s and default links you have, the better your options are.

says:
Couldn’t agree more with you. Sometimes when people see your links more often, they couldn’t resist to click the link at the end of the day.
You just have to be everywhere (but not in a spammy manner) to get people’s attention to your links. If people don’t click on it, they’d remember about it and they might just come to your site someday.

CommentLuv certainly is useful for drawing comments out of readers and for advertising. I wish I could go back more than 10 posts, though, because sometimes an older post is the most relevant to the discussion at hand.

even better if we could set up 5 custom posts rather than the 10 older posts.
of course putting more than 10 would be problematic for the servers I guess

I agree with your outlook on ComLuv. That site offers a great service to bloggers for more exposure. The main question is if you (or others) only specifically target ComLuv enabled sites? I know I have a tendency to do that.

yeap. Nofollow is just annoying. But then again, there’s this case that a blog loses its PR status, probably because the blog has TOO much comments that are dofollowed. Dont know about that though
