KeywordLuv vs. CommentLuv?

Posted February 9th, 2009. Categorized under Site Related. 9 Comments

Yesterday i was reading Derek Semmler’s post about comments on blog posts, and I noticed he mentioned two plugins: CommentLuv and KeywordLuv.

CommentLuv I’ve heard of before — basically, when someone posts a comment, CommentLuv will find the most recent post they’ve made on their blog and display the title as a link back to the site. In theory, other readers will read the title and click if it sounds interesting.

KeywordLuv I’m new to, but from what I’ve read, it works like this: When you post a comment, in the name field you fill it in as such: <yourname>@<keywords for your blog>. Then, when your comment is displayed, it’s displayed with your name from your blog, where your blog is a hyperlink and your name is just text. This way, your links are linked with keywords (which helps with search), but it lacks the spam feel of just using keywords as your name.

Since I do believe in giving back to commentators, I’m considering installing one (or maybe both) of these plugins. Personally, I don’t care much for CommentLuv, but if you guys like that I’m definitely willing to install it.

So, as with any other decision, I prefer a democratic approach:

Should I use KeywordLuv or CommentLuv?

Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the mention here. I’m a big believer in giving back to the commentators and have found both of these plugins – among other things that I like to do too – to work quite well on my blog.

Yes, you’re probably right. I’ll get to installing those the next chance I get.

The combination of these two plugins is so way cool for fellow bloggers who are leaving comments. I am adding Keyword Luv soon.

I think both are good and both having different strategies. But in my opinion both
are helpful to me and help me to drive traffic..
