Today I just wanted to point out that quite a while ago I made this blog dofollow, I installed Top Commentator, KeywordLuv and CommentLuv. If you want to know more about these plugins and why they are so valuable, head on over to my other blog and read about how to get backlinks.
I basically want to reward other like minded bloggers for leaving meaningful comments on this blog by giving them some “link love” back. If you are in my Top Commentator list it means that you get a backlink to your blog from every single post on my blog! So please, everybody, keep commenting!
Of course the same thing applies if you do not have a blog – I would love to have your comments!
As always you are giving something back Petra! I can’t stop bumping into you it seems, I am a frequent visitor to your self-named site (petra-weiss.com) and now when I searched for blogs related to my own sites topic I ended up here…..on another site of yours ha ha!
I folowed your advice and installed keywordluv and commentluv to my blogs – I already employed dofollow and top commentator – I have noticed an increase in visitors. More importantly, these plugins have encouraged more people to leave comments and may well help with attracting unique visitors who may not have previously been attracted to the site, irrespective of its valuable content.
The only downside is the occasional attraction of spammers, or irrelevant posts aimed only at grabbing a backlink. Still there are always some bad apples in any harvest!
Thanks for sharing the link love!

Darren, I am glad you did the jump to install all the plugins, I still think they are all working great together, even though you do get increased spam comments. But with a spam filter like Akismet that should not be too big a problem. Just approve your comments manually! Also, I think when you get more comments your blog gets updated more often (every time you approve a comment or reply to one) and that is always good in the search engine’s eyes.
Thanks for making your blog as dofollow. Actually this will help and make your blog top on Google. Happy New Year!
KeywordLuv is a great plugin. I am to the point where I will rarely leave a comment when surfing blogs unless KewordLuv is available. Thanks for the luv!
I did the same on my own blog, as you know, but I also added a captcha to avoid that spammers leave automated spam comments via a script that searches for dofollow blogs. This combination makes me a happy blogger as I am able to reward commentators that leave real and valuable comments with equally valuable backlinks and at the same time keep my blog clean from spammers. Happy New Year to you and your readers, SY

Keywordluv certainly attracts comments and return traffic which can only be a good thing for webmasters wanting link juice and blog owners wanting more traffic and comments, Win win
this is a great plugin i will use it for my blogs
Thanks for the post .
That’s great! It’s sad that not many bloggers have the same mindset. Most are very selfish, thinking of getting links, without wanting to give any link away.
I have made both my blogs at blogspot dofollow too, by removing the nofollow tag at html code.

Comment Luv and Keyword luv are great plugins. I have them both installed on my site’s blog. I think it’s important to give a bit of love to commenters that leave good comments!

PS. I haven’t yet installed top commentor because it gives dodgy links. What I mean is –
If you leave your comment from name@keywords – it displays as name@keywords on the top commentor plugin in the sidebar.
I think it would be much better if the top commentor plugin displayed only the keywords.
Anyone agree?

Agree, but what can we do about it?
Thanks for allowing the follow links. I try to publish a article about weight loss multiple time a week. I think you and your readers will find the information on my blog to be helpful.

happy with your current status to do follow, I so want to frequently visit and give comments. Do not forget to visit my blog
While searching for new WP Plugins Google brought us to this site. After a few weeks of using..are you happy with this Plugin? Don´t you get more Spam than before?
Marko, no, not yet, and I am definitely getting a lot more good comments! Sometimes though, when I see the spam comments build up, I will just delete my spam folder without checking every single comment in it, and unfortunately there might occasionally be a valid comment in it, but that’s just unavoidable. Over all, I am very happy with the plugins.
I loved using those plugins.. Thanks for throwing this information bob

These are definitely great plug-ins to use. On my own personal blog, when I started using them, I saw a significant increase in commenting and participation. Have you seen the same?

Joseph, definitely!
Hi Petra,
I have just recently learned about dofollow and what it means. My blog is now a dofollow blog, and it’s getting good comments.
Unfortunately, a lot of the comments are just short generic comments, and many times not even related to the post.
Thanks for being dofollow and I wish you much success on your blog.
Brave move – yes, it will engage more visitors but you have to balance that against the spam and moderation time. Hope it works for you.

I love the Comment Luv and Keyword luv plugins. I use them on my sites.
As long as people play by the rules and leave quality comments, it truly is a win, win for both.
Great site! Did you set it up as an autoblog?

Randy, I assume autoblog is a blog that updates automatically? No, it’s not automated.
I’ve just installed comment luv as well. I wish you luck with your blog. Healthy weight loss is a challenge so your blog should do well.

I currently use top commentator (do follow) and comment luv (no follow) on my blog. Your documented success has encouraged me to make comment luv (do follow) and add keyword luv (do follow).
It’s an experiment. Lets see what happens. Thank you for chronicling your use.

Great news, I like it! I might stop by your blog and check it out! I definitely think that it will help your blog in popularity and in Google Rankings over time if you do dofollow. Thank you!
