Backlink Building with DoFollow Blogs and the CommentLuv WordPress Plugin
Stephen Cronin of More Than Scratch the Surface asked me to elaborate on my comment about people wasting their time building links with "DoFollow" blogs when I wrote my thoughts on themes, RSS and splogs. There are many ways to build backlinks to your website, but I'm only going to touch on two of them.
DoFollow Blogs
Blogs that have disabled the rel="nofollow" (in other words, blogs which use plugins to change to "DoFollow") attribute in comment header links can be good sources of backlinks if used correctly. There is one caveat: The comments may appear to be comment spam to the blog owners or other casual observers.
Most people aware of having their comments followed still only enter their name and main website address in the comment header. I'm one of those people. Anyway, what we end up with is a bunch of backlinks that use our names as the anchor text. These particular backlinks are practically worthless for link-building and keyword/phrase authority. What we should be doing is using keywords or key phrases instead of our names and using specific page URLs. There's one drawback: If the content of the page being commented on isn't related to our keywords/phrases, the backlinks won't do much to improve our authority for them. They'll be better than the first kind of backlinks, but not as good as backlinks related to the content of that page. I've tested these techniques since January of 2008, but I could still be wrong. Google changes their algorithms all the time and what's true today may not be true tomorrow.
In my opinion, it isn't worth the effort to try to manipulate the DoFollow blog comments unless, of course, you have a lot of time on your hands. If you want to do it (and I'll do it on occasion just to see what happens), you may want to include a signature near the bottom of the comments so the blog owner can see that you're not a link spammer.
The CommentLuv WordPress Plugin
The CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin removes the rel="nofollow" filter that WordPress adds by default to comments, regardless if the attribute is removed by a DoFollow plugin. It attempts to parse the feed URL for the website in the comment header URL. It doesn't always work. When it does, the full post title and URL for the latest post from the commenter's feed will appear at the bottom of the comments. If you're in the habit of stuffing slugs, titles and content with keywords, you'll get excellent backlinks on blogs that use this plugin.
Again, however, there's the same drawback with the backlinks. If your post title isn't related to the page you're commenting on, it'll lack authority. At least this method doesn't require any extra work on your part.
The Combination
The best blogs to build your backlinks are those that are DoFollow blogs and use the CommentLuv WordPress Plugin. You can get two excellent backlinks at the same time. This is one such blog. Feel free to use the backlink building techniques here, but be advised: I click through these kinds of links when I see them and I delete spammy looking comments at will, as per my comments policy.

I glad you liked it. Make sure you check your backlinks in a couple of days to see if it shows up.
But you didn't zoom it. Don't feel bad, it doesn't always register — you gotta look for the "zoomed".
When doing your backlink building, if you use partners, be sure to control them too.
I did the way described on the article… WORKS JUST GREAT !!!
Thanks !
Rt nice review, I have tried Comment Luv and ended up taking it off. I probably incorrectly identified as a source for some issues with my site , I may try again as it seems to be gaining popularity.

Hi RT, nice review. Thanks for explaining well about the CommentLuv and Do Follow blog.
The CommentLuv Wordpress Plugin removes the rel="nofollow" filter that WordPress adds by default to comments, regardless if the attribute is removed by a DoFollow plugin.
What version of CommentLuv are you using? I've seen several blogs that still have NoFollow on the latest post address.
Solomon Broad's last blog post..The “Things I’m Grateful For” April Contest
Version .999
If this line:
remove_filter('pre_comment_content', 'wp_rel_nofollow');
is commented out, it does not remove the nofollow.
You gave me a kick in the pants one time before to make a change on my blog and hopefully this is enough motivation for me to make another change – I've been procrastinating regarding adding this plugin. I'll add it to my list of things to do today when I get home from work.

Sorry for the late comment. Yes, I've been to some of the purist blogs. One of them deleted my comment, even though there was nothing SEO about it, because it wasn't "on topic". Those kinds of bloggers are nothing more than asses in my opinion.
Hey there! Found you via bloggingzoom, GREAT tips here. I often read commenting is one of the best ways to get blog exposure, this kicks it up a notch. I also like it since I interact with other bloggers and we tend to help each other out in many ways.
Tee's last blog post..New Genetic Clues for Celiac Disease!
I'm like you … I just can't bring myself to put anything other than my name when I leave a comment. That being said, there's nothing necessarily wrong with ranking well for my own name.
I've been using the comment luv plugin on my blog for a while now. But, I still use it in combination with the LinkLove plugin, so that the links are not followed until a person has left more than just one or two comments.
I would actually add a third plugin that people can look for if they're trying to build backlinks through comments … the top commentators widget. Even on "no follow" blogs, if you're on someone's top commentators the link is usually followed … sitewide if they have the widget in their sidebar.
Todd
Yeah, I didn't mention that one. It's pretty good.
About the Comment Luv … I have commented before on few of these and some have the ability to edit your comment for a few minutes after – if I click edit – the commentluv link has a NoFollow attribut to it not DoFollow.

[...] good old RT wrote Backlink Building with DoFollow Blogs and the CommentLuv WordPress Plugin yesterday and once again he gave me the kick in the pants I needed to actually make a change. And [...]
Too bad the comment policy of such a blogs is very restrictive
I know it really shouldn't bother me, but sometimes all the keywords really take away from appreciating a comment's message. I suggest a halfway point. Like "Sam the Eliptical Trainer King" or something like that. It's more personal, slips under the radar of some of the comment nazis , and still has your keywords in there so should still work for SEO.
Of course, if everyone else already left a comment from "Septic Sewer Suckers" or "Sub Prime Loans" I guess feel free to leave one from "Tangle Free Hair Solutions". The signature underneath is a good idea, since comments rely on personal contact on some level.
Tim from Red Deer's last blog post..Concerts & Club Dates March 30/08 Red Deer & Central Alberta Events
I think each blog owner has their right to allow posts with backlinks or not. If they are too liberal, then they will be dealing with a lot of spam issues. If they are too conservative, they won't have many comments. Finding the right balance, will allow you to reward readers with a link back to their site, while at the same time, making it so that not everyone can just spam your site for a free link.
Thanks for breaking down this topic! I just finished a post about this myself. It will be up in a few days.

Thanks for the information. I am new to wordpress and I was wondering what "commentLuv" was all about.
Do you think that commenting with your name is really that ineffective? I think you still pass some link juice, and when the time is right you use the anchor text.
Jason's last blog post… The Art of Blog Commenting
Commenting with your name is very ineffective. You get the anchor text of your name going to whatever link you use. You'll get well ranked for your name, but that's about it.
The KeywordLuv plugin makes it easier to use keywords without it looking spammy.
Enjoyed your post RT. I'm considering using CommentLuv on my blog, still on the fence at this point however.
I've noticed a huge difference in the number and quality of comments after I installed CommentLuv. Especially when people see I approve comments that are of value in information and aren't simply one liners that want to get links back to their site.
I would encourage anyone who has a blog to seriously consider installing the CommentLuv plugin and at least consider removing the nofollow tag. Sure you might get a few spam comments, but you can always delete these instead of approving.
Remember, comments are content for your site, fresh content, and if the person leaving the comment has written something of value then it can help when the search spiders crawl your site for fresh content.

Hi,
Michael from Emarketscout here.
Im ade the same experience with Ian.
You'll definitely get more coments wehn using CommentLuv, but also more comment spam.
A lot of commenters don't seem to care about whatever blog about. They are just eager to promote themselves / their business.
Still i think giving some Luv to your commetner is a good idea.
But as Ian pointed out, you should see backlink building via commentLUv as an exchange of value.
You give a valuabel Comment (Content) and receive some Luv in return …*-)

I've never heard of commentluv before. It's a pretty cool idea. Guess it's good for bloggers because more people coming to comment means for page views and that increases ad revenue. Also great at starting discussion.

Hi RT,
Got here from your latest post on DoFollow (6/20). What I'm experimenting on at the moment is putting on a unique name as anchor to my link giving my site an authority on that unique keyword. I'm trying to see if a unique keyword authority translates to a high pagerank.
Once I got authority and (possibly good PR), I would then work on other keywords. What's your thought on that?
Xeldec's last blog post… Campbell River and the Mystery of the Foot
I'll save you the trouble. Keyword authority and PageRank are 2 different animals. You can be number one for a keyword in the SERPS and have a PageRank of 0. You can have a PageRank of 5 for a particular page with certain keywords and not be anywhere near the first page in the SERPS. Basically, what I'm saying is that one doesn't have any effect on the other.
Your best bet is to concentrate on the keywords and not worry about the PR. Your goal is to rank as high in the SERPS as possible for every keyword you target.

I don’t understand why more website owners don’t do this, I mean yes some people do want to just leave spam to gain backlinks for their site. But the website box is there for a reason, I see it as a reward for adding extra content to the website. It also depeds on the vertical but I believe having worked in a serviced office environment, It plays a biog role for traffic.
Has the use of these plugins on your blog impacted your page rank or your SERPs at all? Just wondering what effect all the outgoing links might have when considering SEO.
It has had no negative effect on PR. The comments actually help in the SERPS.

It would be hard to produce concrete data, even under pristine conditions. Observation over time is easy, but not when trying to set up conditions.
I like to build backlinks using comments and I also made the mistake in the beginning to comment on NoFollow Blogs. Never again as I now use the Firefox NoDoFollow Plugin to make sure I am not wasting my time giving someone free traffic who does not deserve my time.
If I were just a guy with lots of time I would not have mind to do just that, but since I am building an online webbased income, I may just as well write my comments where it counts.
Just starting this evening with CommentLuv. Trying it out as it seems like it will be a great tool. Your site is at the top of the charts on DoFollow Diver so after reading your article this will be my first attempt with the plugin loaded. Fingers crossed!
Well apparently my last post did not work with CommentLuv as no last blog post is showing. Back to the drawing board, I cannot figure why it works on some blogs but not others
Thanks for sharing – having tried and implemented them,I think both commentluv and keywordluv are great for bloggers and commenters and bloggers alike – Its also a great way to improve your brand too.Start savings for a better future.
I agree and as someone who shares the link love I have to say – dealing with comment spam due to having DoFollow options enabled is one of the most time consuming.
When you decide to enable one or more options such as CommentLuv or KeywordLuv – be aware of the overhead that comes with it.

Great Post. Yeah, Google is constantly tweaking their algo so it's hard keeping up. Best thing to do is just stay updated with SEO blogs and draw your own conclusions with testing. I do have a question though, how do I leave a "signature near the bottom of the comments"? Do I just leave my name?
It's not necessary on this blog. Just use the KeywordLuv syntax. On blogs without it, just put your name like:

I think you should be applauded for implementing such a policy as KeywordLuv. I think it's a great idea, so long as people support your site with meaningful and worthwhile comments. With non-KeywordLuv do-follow blogs it just seems too rude to enter keywords where you name should be. Many thanks.
The commenting policy of supporting one's site with getting incentive of a link back is indeed very good. More blogs should really do something like this.
I have added the commentluv to my relatively new blog, however I never knew of KeywordLuv, which I will be installing after I'm done writing this. This post has definitely taught me something I didn't know. Thanks

Some people think all the comments and links out will hurt the blog. Others think it helps because people are more likly to make a comment on a comment luv site. Not sure if anyone really proved it either way but most keyword and comment luv sites seem to be doing well and have alot of traffic. I think it helps bot sites.
My latest blog post: los angeles cheap dsl.
Hi RT,
I would argue that seeking out dofollow blogs *is* important when you are first launching a site. Once it has significant presence with Google, the importance of dofollow links diminishes.
I do agree that blog platforms should be changed so that you can enter both your Website URL *and* title (keywords). This would make the whole problem of links from comments much tidier. There's no downside, really.
My latest blog post: Video: Checking a blog for nofollow (finding dofollow blogs)
This is an excellent post. Thanks for sharing the Luv!
Honestly I am interested to the blogs that practice a do follow plug in. I mean those people who use it are the ones who knows how to give and not just to take. There are millions of people that could visit ones blog everyday and that drives traffic to their site. Isn't fair to reward their visitor simply just having a DO follow site. Thanks for explaining the no follow and do follow plug in here. I hope a lot would understand better the pros and cons of it.
I think dofollow should be allowed, provided people make constructive comments.
Its a small incentive for people to blog, they get something back out of it. I do agree spammers ruin it all. When I comment I try my best to get my views across and help keep the conversation following
I do really support do follow blogs and backlinks..Keep it up guys..more power..:)

I am new to Comment Luv. I just found out about it recently. I have submitted a couple of comments on various sites, but please explain this… I still have to approve the pings for it to work, right? Also, I had a problem with spam comments early on and I may have deleted some legit pings because I did not realize what they were. How do I tell if a ping is spam or legit? Maybe it will be more clear after I post this comment and see the ping? Thanks for this great post!

Comment Luv works well as most of us will know. But I guess over commenting will stop the love.
Anyone else that has seen this happen?
I think the key is to make sure the comments you receive are relevant. I guess this is best achieved through moderation and maybe warnings throughout the site that only valid and useful comments will be accepted.
I suggest a halfway point. Like "Sam the Eliptical Trainer King" or something like that.
There are a lot of "dofollow" blogs out there that lie. They post giant banners that say they are, and in the page sources show that they are not.

This post is a testament to the value of commentluv.
You've got a great page with more than 100 comments and real visitors. Look no furthur to this page for proof that it works.
Thanks for sharing – having tried and implemented them,I think both commentluv and keywordluv are great for bloggers and commenters – Its also a great way to improve your brand too. The nofollow attribute still serves as an anchor to your site with no Search benefits.
I don't think that do-following a blog will harm it in any manner. Rather it will invite new readers who like to comment and participate in discussions and increases the blog credibility.

Keywordluv is a great plugin so that others can catch headlines of other blogs they may be interested in.
Excellent post! I have been using the techniques you mentioned for a while now. However, unlike most I try my best to add to the content of the bloggers page. I am a blogger and realize how annoying spam comments can be. By providing a quality comment I hope to add to the site I am commenting on as well as building my backlinks.
My last blog: What is a Backlink?
You are right on! CommentLuv is best thing that happened to blogs since sliced bread! As one of the people who uses it heavily I can say that you want to have some form of control over DoFollow. I use LuciaLinkyLove to prevent spammers from benefiting.
My last blog: Learn How. Make Money Blogging Is Easy!
I love the commentluv plugin. I've noticed my blog gets more comments and more traffic from using it.
I seriously hope that this works. I've been trying, but we'll see if I see any results soon! Thanks for the tips.
I think do follow comments are pretty much worthless. In my opinion, any free and easy made link building techniques are bound to be valued poorly by Google.
