Link Building via CommentLuv and Top Commenter

There are two great ways to build links while providing comments on blogs.  One is called CommentLuv and the other is Top Commenter.  As you will notice, I have added both to my blog to encourage thoughtful blog posts.  In addition, Akismet and manually authorizing each blog post eliminates any post deemed as spam.  The important part when posting on blogs using either or both is that it’s not worth your time to spam, as your comments will assuredly not be posted.

CommentLuv, which is a Wordpress and Drupal plugin that allows you to comment and then have your most recent blog post or RSS feed post to be included at the bottom of your comment.  This works great for any website, blog, and sites such as Squidoo (which will post the most recent Squidcast, normally)

The other is a Widget for Wordpress blogs that is called Top Commenter.  It allows the blogger to display the top commenters on the blog, over a period of time, often a month.  In this case, Top Commenter is ONLY on the front page, so the link value is not diluted throughout the site.

Both can be set by the blogger to be dofollow (meaning your link will include the linkjuice from the search engines), which includes this blog.

How to Find Commentluv and Top Commenter Blogs

There are various linkbuilding programs out there, free and otherwise.

Here’s a few: Real Link Finder, Comment Kahuna, Traffic Kahuna (same author),

In addition there are great online search tools and listings.

Do Follow Diver - Allows you search through a listing of more than 700 dofollow blogs, including many with Top Commenter and CommentLuv.

Don’t Spam!

The important thing here is to not abuse these sites.  Spamming hurts everyone and if a blogger finds too many spammers coming from a certain region of the world easily can block an entire IP range.  Also, both of these widgets/plugins allow the blogger to block certain people automatically.
