No Follow Free, Comment Luv And Keyword Luv Enabled
I have just followed the “movement” and enabled three plugins that can benefit all of you following along here.
First off, I have removed the “no follow” attribute in the comments section using the No Follow Free Plugin. When you leave a comment, you now get a backlink that will count in the search engines from me.
But hold on, it gets even better. I have also enabled Comment Luv and Keyword Luv which gives you the opportunity to actually get two backlinks and keyword rich anchor text from one comment.
Comment Luv works by showing a link to the title from your latest blog post on your site under your comment. This not only gives you a backlink to your blog, but if your post title is interesting enough, some of my readers may be inclined to visit you. 
Keyword Luv is fairly new and I can already see the value in having a plugin like this. This one is especially important for those of you who are not using a blog for your url in the comment section.
Keyword Luv works by separating your name from the keywords you would like to use in the anchor text of your comment. This gives you much improved anchor text for the link. So instead of just your name or keywords being hyperlinked in the comment, your comment will look a little like this:
Melissa from Useful Hints And Tips says:
In which case the keywords or name of your site are hyperlinked - not your name.
Using the above as an example, to make use of the Keyword Luv feature, you will have to enter your information in the name field like this:
Melissa@Useful Hints And Tips
This is not an email address. It just tells the plugin to parse the word Melissa as the name and use Useful Hints And Tips as the anchor text for the link. Go on, leave me a comment and give it a try to see how it works.
If you are interested in using any of these plugins on your WordPress blog, you can find them here:
No Follow Free: http://www.michelem.org/wordpress-plugin-nofollow-free/
Comment Luv: http://www.fiddyp.co.uk/commentluv-wordpress-plugin/
Keyword Luv: http://www.scratch99.com/wordpress-plugin-keywordluv/
Have fun and I hope you all will take advantage of this.
NOTE: I have been pretty liberal in approving comments, however recent extensive abuse is making me add to this post. Folks, I'm not stupid. I've been at this for years and I realize most of you are only looking for a link. You stand a much greater chance of getting it approved if you at least look like you are adding to the discussion. The ones you see below and elsewhere on this site took the time to make the attempt, follow their lead. If it continues, I'll leave Keyword Luv and Comment Luv enabled but will re-enable nofollow on the links. You don't want that and neither do I. Use the comment section wisely.

phpBay was essentially a no-brainer for me over BANS. Nothing against BANS as I have not tried it, but the cheaper price and my love for and growing experience with WordPress made the decision easy. There is great strength and flexibility with WordPress to build well rounded stores.

It’s funny, because I was just having a similar conversation on another blog about the morals involved with keyword and comment luv.
It’s tempting for spammers, of course, to come to this blog and say “Good post! I like your font!” or something stupid like that just to get the link. But that’s not the fault or responsibility of the blog owner, but the of the individual posters. I appreciate this blog, and those like it, that open up for OBL’s, but I think that it’s our “duty”, as the webmasters and blog visitors to make sure that the owner gets their “money’s worth”, so to speak, for helping us out. In other words, it’s great to get the link, but you gotta show a little gratitude with some useful text!
Melissa | Jul 30, 2008 | Reply
Hi Chris,
Believe me, I understand totally regarding the morals of CommentLuv and KeywordLuv together on a site.
This is why I have the blog set to where I must approve all comments. Yes, some of the comments I’ve received are pure spam - which I won’t approve.
I also know most are only going to comment to get the link. However I look at it this way, we all win. Not only does it encourage reader participation, they are rewarded with a link back to their site.
It benefits me because those who comment are helping to add content through discussion. As well, it helps to build my outbound links.
And I honestly do not mind giving a link to someone who has taken the time to post a thoughtful comment.

I installed keyword luv a few months ago and am just wondering about the value of it. I get a lot of one or two sentence comments that seem alright. But you don’t hear from them again and isn’t it clear that it’s just free advertising for them. Most people who are smart enough to build a blog can leave these comments. How exactly do I benefit? Other than it is better to give than receive of course.

Melissa | Nov 13, 2008 | Reply
Hi David,
For me, the value of adding Keyword Luv is to give people the option to leave a name along with the words they choose to anchor for their site. This way, when I respond to a comment they have made, I do not have to address them by saying, “Hi Discount Travel Deals”
In your case, on your blog, your Keyword Luv links are not followed. It is just there for the benefit of your reader community. If readers see a person commenting a lot, they will tend to visit their website. Having Keyword Luv installed lets those visitors see what that person’s site is going to be about before they ever pop over.
It is true that you will not hear from some people ever again. That is the nature of this business. However, you will find that some will return again and again. A few of these will have visited once to possibly gain a backlink and liked your blog so they follow it. This happens more than you think.
Another way it benefits your blog is that it encourages visitor participation. Most of the time you will receive more comments than you would have otherwise. This looks as though your blog is quite active which encourages even more comments from new visitors.
In giving something to your readers, you are getting something in return by building a following along with a more active blog.
As the blog owner, if you do not like the one or two sentence comments, you can always moderate them and delete them if those bother you.
I hope this helps answer your question and if you’d like me to clear it up a little more, just ask.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thank you for going into some detail about this. In fact I am growing more comfortable with these keyword comments. And I believe some of them are sincere. They are a lot different from spam commments. And if I’m busy I don’t even have to respond to them. LOL.
They are somewhere in the middle between spam type comments and fellow blogger comments. And these are pretty smart people who are able to build functional and even profitable blogs.
And I like comments. I want to ask you about something else but am going to dinner…Talk to you later. Thanks.

If you are going to make links dofollow I guess its logical to add the key work luv plug in because nobody wants to link to there blog with there name as the anchor text , But as many other bloggers have done you have reverted back to nofollow , pretty soon its want be relevant anyway because Google will start to discard the comment luv links.

Those I have talked to use them mainly for indexing purposes as well as another backlink for their site(s).

I am do follow again, but it’s not blatantly do follow as it was before. That did play a small factor in PR and SE rankings when it dropped before. In being completely dofollow, I was liking to TONS of duplicate content here on the site. So now, there are actually a couple of ways to gain a dofollow link from the blog. One is to simply leave a comment and you will be listed in the Top Commentators section on the main page. The other is to leave 3 comments somewhere here on the blog and your links automatically become dofollow.
I’m sorry to make you all work a little extra to get the dofollow links, but I had to switch to a different plugin in order to make it happen. The one I’m currently using was the best choice. Thanks for the question. Have a great day!

What a great resource to have for building blog commenting and incentivizing readers and commenters. I recently built a new blog for the Denver Colorado and Evergreen Colorado market and although I have a ton of content up– it’s been slow to get readership and commenting. I’ve added commentluv and now wil try keywordluv as well!

I’m new to your blog and I see that you get a bunch of comments. How much of this is due to the plugin?

In all honesty, a lot of them are due to the plugin. But many come back time and again and leave comments on other posts so it has been a blessing for helping establish readership.

I think a log of bloggers are enjoying this plugin, I just hope the automated programs don’t come out with something that will bypass it.

Yeah Melissa, keep the comment section clean! Btw your blog is listed in a keywordluv directory, that’s a good thing because you get more visitors and such, but you’re also target of spammers.
I have applied these three stuff to my blog, since it is a new blog I’ll see how much does it take to people post..

I’m not sure I understand… all the comments on this post, for example, are “nofollow’ed.” Are you sure you configured this plugin correctly?

Thanks for providing the links for the plugins. I have been thinking about adding the keyword luv, comment luv, and dofollow links but was not sure where to find the plugins.
Tamas from How To Get Girl (1 comments.) | Mar 12, 2009 | Reply
I observe that comment luv & keyword luv plugin has gained much popularity. Due to this plugin you get many FREE EXTRA traffic who love to comment on your site! Due to more number of fresh comments it makes Google to think of your site as a very active one.I just love this wonderful plugin!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this post!
I use CommentLuv but I hadn’t heard of the other plugins. I’m going to go install them on my blogs now and encourage everyone in my blog network to use them.
Oh and based on this post (I found you on Google) I subscribed to your feed. Your blog is very informative and well-written. I look forward to reading the archives — and getting updates.
Thanks again.

Yes, I had it figured correctly but had to disable it. Nofollow Free contributed to a HUGE drop in PR. I have since installed a new plugin whereby if you make 3 comments on the blog, all of your links in the comments will be dofollow. I also have Top Commentators installed which will include your link on the main page if you are one of the top commentors. This has cut down tremendously on the comment once and run syndrome.

That’s a nice post that I found on google. I like your tipps. Its sad, that some people use the comments to spam on your blog. I think its the right way, that you reactivated nofollow. What plugin is that, that 3 comments make the link follow? But I don’t think the drop on PR was caused by “follow” links.

The policy to only follow links after 3 posts is great for two reasons. It reduces spam and it promotes return visits from engaged users. Thanks again for the post,

Thanks for this one, Melissa! Perfect for all who are trying to increase their back links and traffic. Guess there will be a lot more (real human) commenting around the Blogosphere from now on. Very cool! Keep LUVin’!
