WordPress Plugin: CommentLuv

CommentLuv is a great way to reward your blog readers who leave a comment on your blogs. If your commenters leave their blog URLs on their posts, this plugin would parse the URL for the RSS feed and automatically find and include in the comment the latest blog post of your visitor.

This encourages your visitor to leave more comments because there’s automatic link love given to your commenters. So, in a sense, everyone wins: you will get more comments (which improves your Google standings) and your visitors will get link love and it will definitely increase clickthroughs for them and (if you use the DoFollow Plugin) their pagerank would also improve.

CommentLuv is available for WordPress and WordPress MU, and is compatible for WordPress versions 2.6 and up.

To install CommentLuv, you have to first download it from here, then unzip it. Open up your favorite FTP client and upload CommentLuv to wp-content/plugins. Once the upload is done, you need to go to your plugins page and activate it.

Once it’s activated, you’ll be able to go to the settings page and if you wish, change some settings of the plugin. The plugin will auto-configure for your comment form. If you have a nonstandard comment form or a plugin type comment form, you will need to enter the name or ID values for the author, url and comment fields.

When you’ve finished doing those steps, you visitors would be able to automatically leave the latest posts of their blogs on your blog. CommentLuv also comes in a Drupal version as well, for you non WordPress users.

    I love the concept behind CommentLuv but it utilizes a third party site, which concerns me, to resolve the domains and obtain the Feed items. I wish there were a totally portable version that didn’t make the request from a third party site.

    I’ve implemented this plugin not too long ago and noticed that I started to receive more comments. Not sure if it’s because of my plugin or because I started commenting on more blogs. Probably a combination of both.

    Every major internet company has a mobile app… do you? You can build one now without code using Droid Generator software. It takes 10 minutes and can drive hundreds of extra users to your blog/site. The average app gets 400 downloads per day. Google: Droid Generator and go mobile!

    Hey BloggingPro! Sweet post on commentluv. Commentluv is a fantastic way to keep activity on your website or blog. Some people say that it brings in spam, but I get spam with it or without it, so I go with it. Well, Thanks Hunter for using this fantastic plugin!

    I can honestly say I’d never heard of commentluv before now. This seems like an excellent tool to use, and something I’ve been looking for without knowing it.

    Once I came over to WordPress Plugin: CommentLuv | BloggingPro I can only see part of it, is this my internet browser or the internet website? Should I reboot? Cheers Keely Holcomb
