KeywordLuv - Spreading Luv
This is just to let all of my readers and commentators know that I have now also KeywordLuv installed on my blog. I had been thinking about it for a while, but as I do want to encourage the interaction with you all, I decided it will be well worth it.
KeywordLuv will reward all of you who leave a comment on my blog by separating your name from your keywords in the link to your website, giving you improved anchor text. Like, when you leave a comment now, you can do so by putting down, for example,
“Petra@building lists”
and this will then anchor your site to the keywords you have picked, in this case to “building lists“, which will work well for any search engine optimization you are doing for certain keywords.
As you might remember, on this site I have also installed
- the Top Commentator widget, which will list the most active commentators in my sidebar, giving them a valuable do-follow backlink from each page within my blog
- CommentLuv, which will show a commentators last blog post with every comment
- and best of all, the DoFollow plugin, which means that all the links that are on my site from commentators are now being followed by the search engines!
I actually noticed today when I installed it that on my earlier post about dofollow and commentluv that I had promised to install KeywordLuv within the next few days, and now look at me! Shame on me! – But I guess what’s in my favor is that I at least did it now… 
So, all that’s left for me to say is “please leave some comments here” and you will be doing some very active SEO!

Hi Petra
Thanks for stopping by my blog and casting your vote. I was leaning towards that one also and it is always good to get opinions from other people. I like the information about your plugins and I am going to enhance my site with them also.
I am curious about your header picture. Is that where you live or where you would like to live? My wife and I live in Puerto Rico so we live like that picture.
Have a good one.

Great post, haven’t used the keyword luv plugin as yet myself so would be interested in the feedback as I know some of the fellow students have had good feedback from adding it.
Have a great weekend

Hey Petra,
It’s refreshing to see someone actually post about the inner workings of their blog, and why they put certain plugins.
And as for the explanations of it all, you’re clearly SEO oriented and know what’s what.

Hi Petra,
Thanks for sharing. This sounds like an interesting concept about keywords related to our name.
And thanks heaps for the Do Follow plugin……..I never knew that the comments were set at No Follow before……

Hi Petra,
I have found a plugin that I like that compliments KeywordLuv as well as rewarding your visitors that comment regularly.
If you do a search for Lucia’s Link Love you will find a WordPress Plugin that allows you to set the number of comments someone must leave before they are rewarded with the dofollow attribute.

mm.. can commentluv join with lucia link love?
Petra Weiss Reply:
August 25th, 2009 at 11:26 pm
@tank, I don’t see why not! I just think that if you use Lucia Link Love, don’t install the “normal” dofollow plugin. – That’s just what I think, though, does anybody know for sure?
on Aug 26th, 2009 at 8:18 am
Good choice Petra. Now I would just like you to add threaded comments as well and this would be perfect.

Hi Petra,
Great to see more and more people casting vote for dofollow and encouraging quality commenting. It is not up to Google to determine the quality, it is up to the bloggers! I’m promoting the same concept with my blog for the Blogger Bloggers. Greetings, Matt

Hi Jacinta, welcome to my blog! I checked out yours and I like it! You are doing great – I think you got into John’s coaching the time he opened it after i was in, because all the later students got all these nice headers, which we didn’t have yet
Hope you are doing good with the program, I have pretty much finished with it and moved on to other things, but I have learned so much through John, he has really guided me on the right path! I would love you to come back and read a bit more! 
on Aug 27th, 2009 at 6:23 pm
@Petra: No, problem. Most of the blogs are still not using threaded comments. If you have a look at my site you will see a “reply”-button beneath every post. When you press this button your comment will be placed just beneath the comment you answered instead of at the bottom.
You can change it under:
Settings -> Discussion -> “Enable threaded (nested) comments”

I wanted to contact my “tagged” people before it went live and then I went and forgot to make it live. It is there now, so you can see the real (embarrassed) me.

@Rob, I was like that for a long time, just couldn’t decide. Because you hear so many things about it taking away “link juice” from your site etc. But I believe that at the end of the day it is all about interaction with your readers, and I do believe in the term “give and you will receive”…. so don’t think about it too long, just do it.

Hi Petra Weiss
I would just like to say this is one of the best plugins for wordpress as I’ve recently just installed it on my blog aswell you can check it out and get some more link link luv from me aswell. I thing This linkluv strategy is good because not every marketer is doing this their still too busy about building links from only one source like Social bookmarking, I think a better solution for long term desired results would be to go for Quality over Quantity of links and mix it up a little what do I mean by this? I mean Variety of Inbound links to your site not just top comments keword luv etc but also social bookmarking, videos and other relevant sites… etc What do you thing could you elaborate on some of these linking methods some more maybe in some of your future posts. Also stop by on my blog for more Link luv I love to share

Have you noticed an increase in the number of comments since installed KeywordLuv? I’ve been considering using it on a blog I own and need some honest feedback.
Petra Weiss Reply:
August 31st, 2009 at 7:19 pm
@Tony, as I said before, I haven’t seen a big increase yet, but I am getting a few more than before. And it’s on the up! I think as long as you can handle it (the spam and replying to the comments), I like to keep it to be able to give something back to my readers. I like it.
on Aug 30th, 2009 at 3:59 pm
Hope you don’t mind me going a little off topic, but I was curious as to what extent you have found keywordluv has helped you get more comments…and if they are good comments or just thank you for the post type comments. I found when using this plugin I got a whole heap of “Thanks” type rubbish which didn’t add to my blog at all…it sure did get a lot more people making comments though!
Petra Weiss Reply:
August 31st, 2009 at 7:17 pm
@Mike, I haven’t seen a really significant jump in comments yet, they have gotten a bit more steady, and so far I haven’t had too many spammers yet. Usually they are quite good comments. But we will see how things develop!
on Aug 30th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
I have also installed the do-follow plugin on one of my blogs. But then suddenly I noticed a huge spike in the number of comments and most of them were spammy like “congratulations!”, “good post”, etc. Finally I had to remove the do-follow plugin to stop this spam!!! ;-(

What if I tell you, I’m just coming across the term “KeywordLuv” today? After reading this post, I’m of the opinion that that is a cool one.
on Sep 2nd, 2009 at 6:32 am
Hi Petra,
Keyword Luv is fantastic. Where did you get the plug in? I’m thinking about getting it but it doesn’t seem to come up in Word Press search box.
Comment Luv and Top Commentators plug ins are great too and I use them.
I’m a bit confused about the Do Follow. Some people who have it complain of spam but i think that you still are able to approve the comments before they show up so that should solve it.
Certainly having a Do Follow plug in will likely increase the amount of comments you get.

on Sep 16th, 2009 at 3:58 pm
Instead of posting a lot in No-follow blogs and wasting time. We can post in Do-follow blogs,especially with comment luv. It really helps a lot in bringing traffic.
on Sep 17th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
This is very cool
I think that it is a great decision by you… I strongly support keywordluv and it brings me lots of quality comments on my blog…
Other people that are worried about spam probably do not have the time to clear it out, but even if you don’t install it you will get spam anyways from my experience… especially from bots…
on Sep 22nd, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Petra, in addition to those benefits of this plug in, I find it easy to address my blogs visitors. Earlier I have to reply to hi “cool t shirts”, hi “florida clinic”… I know its kinda weird but with keywordluv I dont have that problem anymore besides I can give them a keyword if they make a good comment and not a me too run off a mill. I am sure your orientation to SERP would have been improved by this time. keep you posted.

Hey petra, seems that installing keywordluv has paid off very well. Many of my friends are bragging that their traffic increased drastically after installing keywordluv and commentluv plugins. This is luring me change my CMS tool to wordpress. I would like to know about the moderation time you spend on this blog. I am sure spammers would recklessly exploit this wonderful tool. So have to think about the time I am going to spend on this before I actually go for it.

I’ve been using keywordluv as my plug in and it has been doing well. It did increase the number of traffics and been getting sensible comments. But still, there are those taking advantage of back links and are making remarks not related to the posts.
on Nov 1st, 2009 at 5:17 pm
Encouraging more comments is a good thing if you focus on the social value of your blog…i.e. if you want to be an A list blogger…but for SEO sorts it doesn’t really make a difference. Still it’s nice to offer those leaving comments a reward.
