Another Reader Appreciation Plugin: Wordpress Keyword Luv
What better sign that bloggers do care about their readers can be more eloquent than the increasing number of plugins which reward readers for being part of blog communities?
Some reader appreciation plugins offering direct benefits: Top Commentors or Last comments, or WP Ajax Edit Comments fall into this directly rewarding category.
Some other plugins offer indirect benefits, which are rather meant to help readers as bloggers, by offering them a small SEO help. This category includes the Do Follow and Comment Luv plugins, which are some of the “most hunted” and “most searched for” and which (especially the Do Follow) sometimes make people sign their comments with “purple lamp post” or “white beans soup with noodles”, or other thoroughly researched keywords.
Thanks to Stephen Cronin, the conversation between lamp posts, noodle soups and camping flashlights is coming to an end: The Keyword Luv plugin allows commenters to input both their name and their desired keywords, the backlink to their blog being anchored on the keywords, and not on the name, as it was before.
If you want to read a more detailed review of the Keyword Luv Wordpress plugin, you can visit InspiritBlog, or you can download KeywordLuv Plugin and offer your readers a nice treat.
Due to the fact that this plugin is valuable only if it is used on Do Follow blogs, you will need to install a Do Follow plugin in order to be sure it works smoothly.
If you have a Do Follow blog, I’m sure you won’t miss all the “items” which used to leave comments on your blog. You can now offer them a name.

Indeed, KeywordLuv is an excellent means to reward one’s commentators…
Thanks for the shout-out.

You are welcome, Abhinav.

This plugin is great for a blog with less comments, but for a blog with hundreds of comments a day, it is not a good idea.
Simonne says...
I barely get 100 comments a month on my blogs, so I haven’t thought about his. But why do you say it’s not a good idea, caTcode? What can possibly happen?
Grohe says...
Oooh! That is so cool! I’m definitely going to look more into it. Thanks so much for the information!

Question: does your blog use Keyword Luv? I’m really impressed with the feature…
Ronald Huereca says...
@Avery,
No, not here. We used to, but our readers didn’t like it unless it was opt-in.
Andrew Flusche says...
This is a fascinating plugin! I can’t believe I hadn’t seen this until today. Thanks for the post.

Its true, going do follow and installing luv comment would certainly help increase traffic in your blog. I did it for my blog, and traffic increased 3folds! Amazing isn it. I’m sure you’ll be a great success!

Keyword Luv is to Blogs as icing is to cake! Most people don’t contribute to blogs simply because they must register, wait for a confirmation e-mail to activate, then log-in, etc. and at the end of the day get nothing back for the effort. Rich anchor text in a backlink will motivate more commentary and help the blogger build subscribers and growing content from all the commentary. Everybody wins. Sad that Google support the no-follow movement IMHO.
