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!

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..

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.

I really like the idea of comment luv since it is a way to return the web back to being a collaboratives place. I think when you first put up your site you are excited and feel like your content will take over the world then you quickly realize that the only way to keep up there in search rankings is by building relationships with other webmasters.
I say this because no matter how great your content many will not link to you in fear of what types of practices you maybe involved in on the web or they just do not want to bleed their own page rank without getting anything in return.
Excellent post. Thanks for sharing this one.

Thanks for joining the no follow crowd. This combined with keyword and comment luv is extremely powerful. I understand your frustration with the BS comments though. If people would only take a minute to add something insightful instead of being lazy it would benefit everyone. Just my 2 cents. Anyway my linked blog is also no follow, keyword and comment luv enabled. If anyone is interested feel free to visit and leave a link.
Andy from Dead Sea Salt Products (1 comments.) | Aug 1, 2009 | Reply
Keywordluv and commentluv are great plugins. It is indeed a win-win for everyone. The commenter is rewarded with a backlink and the blog owner gets content. It gives us incentive to post comments on others blogs. The problem is with low quality comments. People can at least leave something insightful. It is really not hard at all to stay on topic! It is also great for people who are just starting a website. Like me
I run these plugins too!

Hey Melissa,
Thank you so much for offering us some KeywordLuv and Comment Luv. I think it truly adds to the blogging experience by creating a back and forth dialogue. If people use this service, and I do think it is a service, wisely, we can all share in its benefits. After all, if people are thoughtful, and make some real cogent points, they stand to enrich the blogging experience by writing unique content for the blogger. Unfortunately, like everything else in this world, a minority of people tend to abuse this service. I am very disappointed Melissa that you had some problems with this in the past. I hope people realize that what you are offering people is a tremendous gift, and is a privilege not to be taken lightly. Keep up the good work, and ‘fight the good fight.’ KF

Melissa, these are great plugins that encourage commenting on blogs. Also, I think that it brings new visitors as they would not find your site without it…especially since your ranked #2 in google for the term. Congrats!

Melissa,
I think it is a great thing you are doing. I have just looked into this and I guess it works in much the same way as forums where you are rewarded for a good contribution. I have bookmarked this post and have sent an email to some of my friends who I know will be interested in this.
I have commented before simply for a link, I guess most people commenting here have, but I would like to think at least I leave something useful when I do.

guess you guys blew it, all your links are no-follow now
Melissa | Jan 10, 2010 | Reply
FYI, make 3 comments on this blog and all your links become dofollow. If you had read the whole post, you would know that. I did what I had to do and I’m sorry if that upsets some people. I added these plugins for my loyal readers, not comment spammers.

Melissa Thanks for enable keywordluv plugin which put everyone in a win-win situation. The commentators will be inspired to create better and more relevant comments for the blog or site owner, making the latter less worried about spams. At the same time, the commentators get to earn quality links. This plugin for me is the best to have ever come out. Having said that, lam just beginning to use the plugin on my blogs, how do I police spam comment.

Thank you for explaining this so clearly. I realized — after leaving comments at another Keyword Luv blog — that I didn’t really understand how to maximize the benefits.
I’m always pleased when I find anyone who’s willing to help other people. Your name was mentioned (favorably) last night in a webinar, and — from this post — I can see why.
Thanks again!

Hi,
These plugins are wonderful tools for us bloggers. They benefit both us and our readers, us with content, them with the link, and if one stops and thinks about it…the bloggers with a community spirit online.
My one blog I had to install SI Captcha, to weed out the spammers. I was getting dozens a day. Some of the just sign up for an auto-commenter deal and that is just a lazy way of doing it.
I hated to have to do that to my regular readers, but I was spending way to much time researching which were legit and which were bots.
I see I have much to learn here from you, so I will bookmark your site and be back.
Thank you.
Kevin

Thanks for sharing the love and being a “Do-Follow” Site. I always appreciate a strong backlink. I knew about commentluv and keywordluv. But I didn’t know about no follow free. Time to add a new plugin. Thanks Again.

This combination is getting more common. However, one thing that Melissa does very effectively here is communicate how each plugin works individually. There seems to be a lot of confusion on the net as to the difference between “keyword luv” and “comment luv”. Thanks for clearing it up Melissa.

Great idea to make these changes, it seems obvious from the number of comments that it brings in more people to view your articles and provides an incentive to comment

I am in the process of developing niche websites. As you stated, for the most part it is not likely that someone will come out of the gate and start making meaningful income. Like every business it takes planning and time to implement it.
I am amazed at the myriad of plugins available for WP and the manner in which they contribute to the functionality of a blog. I am relatively new to WP and quite the “tourist” when it comes to plugins. I can appreciate the contribution that you have provided here and thank you for doing so. I wish you continued Success!

Those plugins are good to get more comments on our blog. However, downsides to removing no-follow from comments can also attract in genuine comments, such as comments with low value, low eagerness, etc.

Hi, I like to reinforce the idea that any blog with great content will get many backlinks. Commenting and have comments in a blog is the best gifts that blog owners wish for their best ranking. You are going to be visible faster is your content is update often, by the webmaster and by allowing more comments on it. Good luck for the best top positions.
