Do You Follow? Do You CommentLuv Blog?
I was reading a great post today about the CommentLuv and DoFollow plugins for WordPress. I agree that leaving comments on blogs running these plugins is a great way to make the best use of blogging time that brings back a return as well. Why leave comments on blogs that will not bring any traffic, or increase link juice?
“Do Or No Follow Doesn’t Matter”
For me it does. One of the biggest challenges for me as a full time blogger is using my time wisely. It is so easy to get distracted- I often find myself drifting in cyber space.
Where I choose to leave comments is important. I don’t leave comments just for back links, I like sharing and communicating within the blog community-BUT- I try to stay with things that bring a return as well. CommentLuv and DoFollow are my friends!
Peace to all over the Christmas holiday.
What say you? Be sure to leave a comment!
I choose the communities and blogs that I read and participate at for their quality content, good atmosphere, and for the return in traffic and link juice as well. Some blogs I only read and never comment at, others I do both.
What makes the difference for me? Whether or not I get any traffic or juice out of the exchange.
For example:
I would read and make comments at the well known political portal blog TownHall.com for years. Today however I only read the articles. Why? No more link back at TownHall. That means that I can’t afford to invest further time there. I don’t think that I’m alone in this judging by the popularity of the above mentioned plugins. (And the drastic drop in comments at TownHall)
… and there are exceptions such as Facebook, where I spend too much time posting!
Sure, it’s not cool leaving comments just for link juice, and trolling is never a good idea. With so many blogs running CommentLuv and DoFollow, you can have the best of both worlds: Interaction with a community, and link juice for your own blog!
Absolutely agreed with you Chuck, I also believe that if you’re going to leave a useful comment on someone’s blog, those links should be dofollow so you can both benefit. I appreciate you allowing us to post comments with our keywords and url’s.
Thanks for this great plugin – its really useful for all of us bloggers. Looks like you have a really good blog here packed full of information too. Thanks

Some excellent info that I’ve stumbled on, I will definitely have to add this RSS feed. This blog will make an excellent reference guide for me as I’m starting out in the world of Traffic as they say you can have the best well designed and beautiful blog but with no traffic it’s like sitting on a mountain all alone and no-one can see you.
Thanks Brian. I try to update as often as I can with fresh information. Come again!
Hi, Good to see other people using these great plugins. this means that everybody wins. also i saw a blog that deletes the comment after 1 month, which i think is a good policy to remind people to come back to make more comments.
I really like your blog and appreciateyou allowing me to post comments.
thanks

Hey Chuck, nice post! I agree with your point of view ofcourse: nowadays it’s real hard to get some quality dofollow links. Let’s be honest: DMOZ has become pretty useless by now and all those countless webdirectories aren’t doing the web any good anyway.
Do you use any software or search engines to find dofollow blogs by the way?
Tell me who wants to go for a nofollow blog by leaving do follow blog, as it gives a chance to build contextual link for any website.
Aw, it was a top quality content. Actually I would like to write like this as well – taking time and real energy to bring about an excellent post… however what can I say… I procrastinate an awful lot and by no means appear to get things completed…

KeywordLuv is a real help for bloggers, visitors for the owner and backlinks for the commentators. Hope this plugin will not abuse by the spammers.
Whereas commentluv is a superb plugin, I feel its still a controversial subject that nofollow hyperlinks actually count. Typically it almost appears as if it is dependent upon the blog; if its a nothing blog then the nofollowed hyperlink is sort of nugatory, but when its from a excessive authority site (comparable to hubpages or ezine articles for example), then it may be fairly sweet though to gain any PR increase you will want dofollow links.
I have to agree with the poster above: so many bloggers seem to think allowing comments is doing the reader a favor. But comments serve the blog and, as I understand it, look good to the search engines. I might be wrong about that but it’s what I’ve heard. Way to keep the conversation open, Chuck. Must be nice to be off those roofs, huh… especially the high ones.
I am a fan of CommentLuv. This plug-in surely helps bloggers get real comments rather than spam.
Thank you for sharing such an informative article… This helps me a lot in solving many of my problems. Page bookmarked, i am sure to revisit again.

This is just a great article. Thanks for putting all this together.
Keywordluv is a good tool and certainly helps this link juice, but is time consuming to say the least.
Incredible article you wrote here. Very informative and a ton of great comments to compliment you.
Keep them coming:)

Thanks for sharing. But,I think commenting depends on the person if he/she wants to.
You make a good point about the “investment” of time spent reading and commenting on blogs. For every nofollow blog with great content on a particular subject, there’s an dofollow blog with content that is just as good or better. I say use your time efficiently and contribute where it’s most advantageous to do so.
Of course the prospect of gaining link juice isn’t the only reason to leave comments. Good comments can lead to lots of click through traffic as well. Ultimately, you want to leave good comments wherever you go.

I don`t get why people have nofollow sites to begin with. It`s so much better to have dofollow, as it will get you a LOT more comments and traffic. And more traffic is more money.

Making DoFollow blogs is one strategy to bring traffic. A lot of people out there looking for a blog DoFollow and you managed to get people to visit. I’ll review your blog

Thumbs up to you! But bloggers should also put in mind that although linkbuilding is important, linkbuilding in high PR sites are much much better since as well as commenting on sites that are in line with your blog’s niche.
All CommentLuv, DoFollow plugin and KeywordLuv is the search engine best and most effective. It will increase grade ratings on Google, Thank for you to share this information useful. I will comeback next time to check your information.
Backlinks are great, but make sure the site is relevant with your website or blog. Google takes this in high regard. Internal linking is also important. You want to link to articles that are closely related to the current article.
