2 Wordpress Plugins To Show Your Love

CommentLuv and KeywordLuv

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what better way to show love to your readers than with the CommentLuv and KeywordLuv plugin for Wordpress. These plugins will enhance the commenting experience on your post and it will definitely give your readers a little nudge to leave some comments. These plugins are basically giving your readers an incentive to leave comments. Here’s a breakdown of how each plugin works:

CommentLuv – This cool little plugin will basically crawl the commentator’s site and retrieve a link back to their most recent blog post. This will increase comments and build community around your blog. I love this plugin because it let’s me find interesting posts written by my readers and I get a chance to know them better. It’s a more personal approach then using the Top Commentator plugin, which I think you should use as well.

KeywordLuv – KeywordLuv is another cool plugin that allows you to have your name and a keyword link to your site in the name field of your comment. This allows you to leave keyword-rich anchor text to your site for SEO backlinks. For Example, when writing a new comment in a post many times you have 3 fields to submit a comment: name, email, and website. If I want to say something like “Jack from Online Marketing Blog”:

Here’s what it will look like without KeywordLuv:

With the KeywordLuv plugin, here’s what it will look like:

Jack from Online Marketing Blog Says:

The way to do this is to make sure you have a website url in the website field, then in the name field you would enter this format: name@keyword. So in my example I would type in Jack@Online Marketing Blog. Certain Wordpress themes might not work with this plugin but there are work arounds to it, just click on the link above to redirect to the plugin site. There you have, start spreading the love!
