Tricky? Not so much...
Last Friday we talked about how to do better link building on CommentLuv blogs.
This Friday, I decided to spill the beans on yet another little trick I use CommentLuv plugin for - this time on my own blog.
It might seem obvious once you read it, but I don’t see too many of you doing it on your own blogs, plus I had a couple of questions on how I do what I do.
Of course, this post is only for those bloggers who are currently using (or will start using right after reading this post - great for user-engagement) CommentLuv plugin on their blogs.
We all know how important it is to link our posts and pages to each other within our blog. In SEO it’s called deep linking or internal linking.
If you need a refresher on the topic, refer to this post:
As of right now, I use four different ways to interlink my posts:
- Simply by placing links to other relevant posts from the post I am writing (like I just did above).
- By using Yet Another Related Posts Plugin - it shows relevant posts at the end of any post automatically.
- By displaying Popular Posts and Recommended Posts in my sidebar.
- By using CommentLuv plugin in my comment section.
Of course, I use CommentLuv on my blog (as you can very well see) and my readers are more than happy to provide me with a link to one of their latest posts.
But have you noticed that almost all my responses to your comments contain my CommentLuv links as well?
And it’s so easy to do!
Of course, you need to be logged in to your dashboard first.
But who said you need to respond to your comments from your dashboard?
You can certainly do it straight from the post itself and THAT’S when you can use CommentLuv links, giving your readers yet another way to find your older posts and an inner link for your own SEO purposes.
Marketing Takeaway
Simple enough.
Now I wonder how many of you have been using this simple tip on your own blog.

Great tips as always. I am going to consider commentluv (I have written it off until reading this post). Quick question, does commentluv effect spam comments at all? Do you see more or less? Let me know if you have a chance, thanks!
Matt invites you to read: Interview Tips for Employers
Regarding spam: it’s hard for me to tell, Matt, since I’ve used CL from the very beginning of my blog.
But look at it this way: I have a huge blog, yet I am still using CL, so spam problem is not that bad. LOL
This is brilliant. I’m very new to the game of building back links and increasing rank in the search engines. I’ve been trying to find blogs that use CommentLuv as a way to build traffic and backlinks to my site but it never occurred to me that using the plugin on my site could actually be beneficial to me! Great info
Scott invites you to read: How Much Do Personal Trainers Make?
It certainly can be, Scott.
By the way, did you see this post of mine: CommentLuv enabled?
Let’s see: I link within my articles. I have YARPP installed. I have recent posts (but not popular posts) in my sidebar, - so I am doing well.
But I never thought of commenting from the front end. And with CommentLuv Premium that I just got, I am hoping that I can choose the post that I want to show rather than the latest post.
By the way, I came to your blog from http://www.craigsowerby.com - whose site I came to after looking at Andy Bailey’s video. I asked Craig if there was a central place that listed those who have CommentLuv installed and he said you have a list of PR2 and above blogs and I am just wondering where that is, if you have it.
And then I see that you have huge traffic, so I have to keep reading here. I genuinely feel I have found something at last that I can read and benefit from.

I am just starting out on my website marketing journey and welcome your tips; the comment luv plugin ceertainly seems to help generate lots of good comments and interaction. I also like the popular post idea.
Charlotte invites you to read: Top eBooks, August 2011
That’s a great idea. I haven’t installed Comment Luv because I always worried that Google would penalize me from giving out so much link juice. Is there any truth to that? I like the idea of being able to link my pages together better….
Kyle invites you to read: Make Money Paying Your Neighbors’ Property Taxes
Remember that you will also be receiving a lot of link juice from commenting on other CommentLuv (and other) sites, so it balances out.
Great post. These tips definitely going to help me with my SEO journey!

Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Google Says: Your Blog Has Low-Quality Content And Here Is How to Fix It
I used to do this when I first started blogging, Ana. I still do it on one of my blogs occasionally, but it links back to posts on another one on my blogs. Sometimes, I sacrifice SEO for aesthetics. You have quite a few comments on your posts so sprinkling the links in is less obtrusive, but I find it too distracting doing it on sites with few comments. Great SEO/traffic tip though.
I guess you are right, it is less obtrusive on a blog with many comments.
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Friday’s Tips for Keeps: How to Guide to Better Link Building on CommentLuv Blogs

CommentLuv is really a great tool. Unfortunately, I am using Disqus on my blog since a very long time which doesnt provide the CommentLuv in it like IntenseDebate….Hope that Disqus will work on its script soon and will add this great tool in its commenting system
Are you not able to switch to ComLuv if you like it so much?
In fact, I dont want to switch from Disqus as its really a nice commenting system and helps me so much in comment management. ..Another thing is that I am using it so long that I am afraid of any error while switching as Disqus hosts all comments on its own server….So, hope for the best

Hi Ana,
I noticed this a while back that when I replied from comments from within the post itself, I got to use commentluv. But I have been using my dashboard to comment when I’ve been short on time. It would be an awesome timesaver if it could be done within the admin panel.

Then I am glad you found it. Thanks for stopping by.
Ana,
Great tool to use with CommentLuv. I began doing this a while back after copying it from you. I still can’t understand why some blogs, especially new ones are not using CommentLuv.
I actually recommended it to a new blog that I was commenting on but they were not interested in using it. Oh well.
Justin | Mazzastick invites you to read: Laughter Is The Antidote For Fear
I could not agree with you more. Why on earth would you not use it???
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Free SEO Report- Much Ado About Nothing
Ana. great post. Let me ask you a question
I have this plugin in Firefox that highlights donotfollow links in red. As I understand commentluv allows you to get juice links back and references the last post. So when somebody installs commentluv the attribute is still rel=”nofollow”. So how can you get good one way back links is the attribute is still nofollow? How does Google look at it in terms of backlinks?
Themeparkguru invites you to read: Shrek 4D at Universal in Orlando – who is your favorite character
The blogger always has a choice of making CommentLuv a DoFollow vs NoFollow plugin.
It’s still good to have nofollow links - Google considers it “natural”. However, you are absolutely right - the link building from nofollow links is not as effective as dofollow.
Hi Ana…
I discovered your blog about an hour ago! Wow! I haven’t been able to stop reading. Thank you so much.
I intend to check out the Commentluv plugin this morning for my 30 day old infant blog.
I am a little confused about this last comment and your reply about *dofollow/no follow*.
Would you expand on this a bit? Or perhaps point me in the right direction to learn more about it?
Thank you again! So excited to learn more more more…
Karen
Once again, welcome to TGC, Karen - the biggest compliment any blogger can get is being read, so thank you!
To answer your question on Do/NoFollow, here are a couple of posts for you to take a look at:
https://trafficgenerationcafe.online/dofollow-blog-traffic/
https://trafficgenerationcafe.online/does-nofollow-follow/
You can also search for “dofollow nofollow” on my blog for more posts on the topic.
Hope this helps!
Ana
I like the idea of the new version of commentluv that allows you to choose to have nofollow/dofollow comment links for registered users.(not sure if it’s still in Beta so check for the updates on comluv.

Is your recommended posts a plugin? I couldn’t find one called that exactly but a few similar ones.
Cathy invites you to read: Comment on I Guess I am a Misfit by mommacat
Cathy, when you type in the details for your comment, add your http://www.domain.com/ in the website field, then type up the comment, select the post from the drop down and submit. I see that yours is posting a comment - not sure why that is. Did you contact tech support?
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: How to Use Google Search Query Terms to Learn More About Any Site
Yep contacted them but never got a reply.
The problem is when I hit that drop down, it says I need to sign up to be able to make a choice on posts. I already signed up but with a different site. When I log into my account, there’s no option to add a site. So I tried to register another account but it never sent me the email to confirm the account. So I give up. For some reason Comment Luv doesn’t like me
It Luvs you so much that you’re messing with it’s mind!
Try log in using the details you used to sign up for the second account and then do a password request. It should then let you log in and if it does, it will say that you have not confirmed the account and give the option to resend the confirmation email.
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Is Your Blog Traffic Going to Last Forever No!
Unfortunately that won’t work since they don’t give you a password until you confirm it so there’s no way to log in.
But in my continuing saga of my problems with CommentLuv, I did find where you can add an additional URL. It wasn’t in the obvious place where it actually says “Add your website.” It was under the “members” button. It had a drop down that said “Add an additional URL”. I had to pay $10 to buy credits to add it but I did.
Unfortunately now it gives me a choice of 5 comments to chose from on my blog instead of my posts. LOL.
I’m wondering if it’s a feedburner issue.
Anyway, I left another message asking what I should do but it doesn’t look like they handle those too often. There were tickets in there that people had left in early April that no one had taken care of.
Cathy invites you to read: Comment on I Guess I am a Misfit by mommacat
I used to have the same feedburner issue you are before andy changed the new version. I use the feedburner URL and my last 10 comes out with no problem on every blog that has comluv enabled.
Try registering with the Feedburner URL and “unban” your site afterward..good luck.

I thought about using Comment Luv on my own blog when I reply to readers. I never do because I always thought, “well, this IS my last post.” DUH! It won’t be next time I post!! And I did find it a little excessive.
But since I actually contemplated it and now you have verified that it can be perfectly normal to do it. I will.

Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Friday’s Tips for Keeps- How to Guide to Better Link Building on CommentLuv Blogs
Great tip, as always. I installed commentluv after hesitating for a bit, because I was worried about link leaks. Then when I became a loyal reader of TGC and noticed that you didn’t bother about PR but were giving away so much link love, I installed it rightaway. I am doing all the 4 points as mentioned by you. Especially the deeplinking thing when replying to comments on my blog - I learned that from one of your posts.
Cheers,
Jane.
So blessed to have you as my loyal reader, Jane - the fact that you actually act upon my advice is the icing on the cake!
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: How to Use Google Search Query Terms to Learn More About Any Site
Its just great because your able to build that back on another site that uses commentluv and plus you have people who are encourage to comment because they know their getting a backlink.

That’s true - of course we are talking about how to use CommentLuv on YOUR OWN site.
Ana | Traffic Generation invites you to read: Blog Commenting Flops- Do These to Lose Traffic and Links
Ana, great tip! One day I woke up and realized that I should be doing the exact same thing! I’m not sure why I wasn’t doing it when I first installed CommentLuv. I guess I was thinking that people are already on my blog and they don’t need any more reminders to link to my posts. Then it dawned on me that by using my own CommentLuv, I would be building more backlinks - especially when I’m responding to new comments that were left on older posts. Most likely these comments are left by people coming from search engines and they might not think to visit other relevant pages on my blog.
Using the ReplyMe plugin helps with this too, because this way it increases my chances of converting search engine traffic into regular readers.
