Do Follow Blogs - Click for image credit
Time is our most precious resource. All bloggers and business owners wish they had more of it and continually seek ways to accomplish more each day.
Scroll Down for DoFollow CommentLuv KeywordLuv blogs by Niche!
KeywordLuv and CommentLuv are effective ways to make every comment we write or receive provide far more benefits.
I strongly recommend bloggers join the do follow movement and
install the CommentLuv and KeywordLuv plugins.
We and many of our favorite bloggers are focusing more and more of our time and efforts exclusively in dofollow blogs. The CommentLuv community is especially strong and readers can easily see CommentLuv featured posts.
They may not be aware that installing CommentLuv and registering your site allows you to suggest one of your last ten posts. Andy has already acted on a suggestion I made to allow you to select your most important posts instead and he has even added the ability to select your own anchor text for that post! Used wisely, that new feature can allow you to get ranked in the search engines for your most important keyword phrases.
The benefits of using KeywordLuv are not as obvious to many so I want to spell them out and explain exactly why I so strongly recommend using it. First you need to clearly understand what anchor text is and why it is so important to you.
Anchor text is simply the words used in the actual link that tell the search engines what the page the link points to is about.
Many bloggers are NOT using anchor text effectively or do not even know what phrases are important to them. There is nothing more important to your getting more traffic from the search engines than clearly targeting your best anchor text. Read my building traffic post for how to do this.
BENEFITS OF KEYWORDLUV:
- Most bloggers and blog readers dislike keywords in the name field instead of a name. The reason commentators do that is because without KeywordLuv whatever is in the Name field is what is used as anchor text – and that is NOT effective. Installing KeywordLuv fixes that issue by allowing commentators to separate their name from the keywords.
- KeywordLuv allows business owners and bloggers to select their own anchor text and pair it with the most targeted landing page.
- Bloggers can more clearly understand what their commentators do and what their major interests are based on the keywords they use.
- When we blog about our regular commentators we can use the anchor text and links they shared to ensure we are providing them with maximum benefits.
KeywordLuv allows us all to combine commenting and SEO efforts so that we can interact more frequently, strengthen our blogging community relationships and make our sites easier to find in the search engines which will increase our traffic, subscribers and potentially our incomes.
HOW TO USE KEYWORDLUV:
KeywordLuv is simple to use. Instead of putting your name or keywords into the Name field of a comment, use YourName @ Your Keywords.
Here are some examples so everyone is clear on the idea:
- Adam @ Merchant Affiliate Program Manager or Adam @ OPM
- Gail @ Social Media Marketing or Gail @ Business Blogging
- Pete @ Gift Affiliate Program
- Michelle @ Poster Printing
- Jeff @ Wedding Affiliate Program
Notice that only the keyword phrase is linked and that is exactly what your comment name field will look like too. You can vary the anchor text you choose.
For maximum benefit choose specific pages or posts optimized for each phrase and link that specific page/post to that specific keyword phrase.
You will not end up with enough incoming links to any one page if you do not send specific keyword phrases to specific pages/posts.
You can maximize the effectiveness of what you write by optimizing a page specifically for each keyword phrase – especially if you are offering services or products.

That involves good timing in blogs using CommentLuv so read on for how to change your landing page to match your keyword phrase. When you register your site at CommentLuv you entered your URL.
For CommentLuv to work you must enter it into the URL field EXACTLY as you registered it including using or not using the www and including or not including the trailing slash / at the end. You may want to copy and paste it somewhere so you can paste it back in later.
If you don’t see your last ten posts in CommentLuv the most likely cause is the URL you entered is not exactly how you registered it.
To link your selected anchor text to a page different than the one you registered with CommentLuv, fill in your comment as usual, select the CommentLuv post you wish to feature and then do this:
Just before you submit the comment, paste the URL of your preferred post/page into the URL field and immediately submit the comment.
It takes CommentLuv some time to realize the URL field has changed. If you forget or take too long you will lose the CommentLuv featured post you selected.
If that happens just paste your registered URL back into the Website URL field and click into the body of the comment. That will prompt CommentLuv to find your last ten posts again. Select the one you want, and then change the URL again and immediately submit the comment.
By installing KeywordLuv you allow business and blog owners to help themselves to generate more traffic and more sales.
Some will notice that I keep comments most bloggers would summarily delete. I do this because I know that businesses are in dire economic condition and it is essential that small and online businesses survive and even thrive in spite of the current economic climate.
I encourage my fellow bloggers to be forgiving of those who are new and haven’t learned to write excellent comments yet. Is it not better to educate them and even the offshore SEO companies they hire so they can call learn?
Many businesses do not have the time or skills needed to leave their own comments and may not know the difference between spam and adding to the conversation. We can educate them and make the world a better place.
For those bloggers willing to do more I ask that you participate in my new BizLuv MEME and find out how you can Support Your Favorite Businesses and benefit your own blog at the same time.
Note that not all blogs using CommentLuv or KeywordLuv are Do Follow.
I suspect that many assume they are and I personally find it disingenuous to use these plugins that are so connected to the dofollow community and make them nofollow. For this reason I choose not to include nofollowed KeywordLuv sites in my KeywordLuv Twitter List.
CommentLuv blogs are included on my DoFollow Twitter List. Would anyone prefer that I create a DoFollow CommentLuv List?
It is possible but I have not seen any definitive evidence that it does. Read the ongoing Dofollow debate on the link immediately above and Dan’s DoFollow Versus NoFollow post for insights including comments from me and examples of posts here and on popular dofollow sites that have strong pageranks in spite of tons of outgoing links.

from my point of view this post considers the best tutorial about keywordluv and commentluv i have found, and so, i bookmarked it, and i will try to use them in my blog, thanks a lot.
I want to thank you for very interesting article. It realy help me understand how commenting on blogs works. And sorry for my english
I still don’t know what I think about this “keyword luv” thing. It seems to just invite spammers, right? Also, won’t Google just discover this pretty easily and discount the links from keyword luv sites?
in response to your question “does dofollow damage pagerank…”
This blog is a perfect example that it most likely doesn’t have a large effect on it. This blog is a PR 4 and SEOmoz gives it a fairly high “page authority” of 43. So I would say that Google won’t kill your PR because of dofollow. There are TONS of outbound links on this page and it still has decent PR.

keywordluv is great it helps you get the backlinks that you need in order for your website to get more traffic driven to it. Thanks for sharing the luv

You have a point, most people just spam their comments and anchored text on dofollow blogs. They don’t leave relevant comments. Anyway I haven’t tried keyword luv on my blog, coz I didn’t have any idea about it at first. But as I read your article it made me think that this could be very useful to my blogs.
Keywordluv plug-in is very effective for getting back links,it also prevent blog from spamming.

I also agree with using CommentLuv in your blogs in order to acheive more backlinks and better presence on the internet. Using keywordluv is a great way to lay down some ancor text in your comment.
A good article but I’m just wondering one thing – this was originally written six months ago and I know how quickly things change in the internet world; is the consensus still that dofollow doesn’t negatively affect PageRank? I found out about KeywordLuv recently and I can see the benefits but I want to understand the downside as well (an increase in spam being one of them).
Hi Steve,
I don’t believe that it affects PageRank because if it did this post should not be the same PR as this site (PR4) with all those outgoing comment links (approaching 500).
One challenge bloggers have regarding sites like yours is that it is safest to avoid linking to them unless we have proof that they are not being considered bad neighborhoods by Google and other search engines. I know that makes it tough for you to build links.
I have been removing the links because of this. Recently I got back in touch with an SEO expert familiar with that niche who works at Bing. This is our exchange on Twitter:
Hi Duane @SportsGuy Talk to me about bingo and poker sites…bad neighborhood or not? They have PageRank.
@SportsGuy @GrowMap most left in the US r legit, so it’s a moral play. Check who links to them. For the right site I’d take them.
I’m sharing this with you so you know where we stand so far. I did not specifically ask him about sites like yours. Your comment reminds me that I need to write a formal commenting policy that explains why I don’t allow links to gambling related sites.
I installed commentluv on my blog a few days ago , and I have been thinking bout installing keyword luv too , I also found out the anchor text ( name you use here in the comment ) can affect your anchor text rankings. Keyword is a good way to include the keyword without looking spammy.

I just recently added keywordluv and commentluv to my site. I then figured out that i also need to install do follow free so that the links on my pages will pass juice. I am learning lots! Thank you, Ray

Ah, I get what keywordluv is, at last. THanks for the explanation. Finally commenting “correctly” now.
keywordluv is great cause it helps us get the backlinks that we need in order for our website to get more traffic drove to it. thanks for using keywordLuv, your blog is really great.
Hi! I’m a strong believer in promoting sites with keywordluv. Basically, it adds the human element to linking which the major search engine loves. Also, it provides a variety of different kinds of links and that’s helpful for the long-term outlook of your site.
Hi, Thanks for keeping your blog do-follow.These plugins, Follow Blog, Keyword Luv,Comment Luv & Top Commenters continue to expand it’s usefulness, All great innovations to make blogging an easier and more effective medium. Thumd’s up to the developers!

I really appreciate your courage on invoking the do follow and associated wordpress plugins here. I have been using them on my group of blogs for quite sometime and I have to admit that the rate of traffic has increased considerably. Keywordluv insists my visitors to post something relevant to the topic inorder to get an anchored text link back to their posts. I personally being a great fan of the do follow movement, I try to welcome others who have enabled this feature on their blogs as well. thanks for giving nice post.
I just started keyword luv as well, come check out my site too.

i love keywordluv, saves me a lot of time! and definitely gives a neat look to the blogpost by linking the anchor text separately from the name.
Great read, lots of good information! I think I need to start using these plugins on my sites!
Cheers
Dan
I’ve just learned of keywordluv from reading your article, new nothing of it before. I like it!
Neat Article. Though “Do follow” approach is good it brings challenges as blog owners have to moderate to make sure there isn’t too much spamming going on with the commenting section. Also in case any of you haven’t checked the video on Dofollow from Matt Cutts, Google: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQfOhncTXRU
What theme is this weblog employing? I do know it is a web site engine web site but I’ve not at all observed this palette just before.
Thank you very much to share this information. It is very useful and informative.

I’m going to leave this comment because without it the others won’t make any sense. It is also a good lesson in what to do about moderating these types of comments.
This particular commentator is a challenge to moderate because while they do leave real comments they often also leave comments for more than one business in the same post or spammy comments.
It is also obvious that English is not their native language and I suspect that more than one person is commenting from that IP address. Normally I would have deleted that comment on two counts:
1) I do not link to sites related to pharmaceuticals
2) The comment is not specific to this post
I do delete many of their comments but retain some of them when they are relevant to a specific post and do not link to a business I would avoid. The reason I keep some is that some of the businesses that hire these services do so because they don’t fully understand what they do or how best to go about Internet marketing.
With the current economic challenges some links may mean the difference between keeping that business open or letting it fail. Many small businesses support their own families and also those of employees and what they earn gets spent and keeps more businesses open.
I do not allow links to any site whose content I find objectionable so I removed not only the link from that comment but also the word after generic. Bloggers should avoid leaving links to adult sites and some other subjects and bad neighborhoods.
You can also use the Bad Neighborhood Tool but you do have to manually check those links because it often flags sites that are not bad.
P.S. For my non-English readers, we would not say we “depleted” the morning. While it is true the morning passes, depleted refers more to a tangible resource you can use up rather than the non-tangible (something you can’t touch or hold) time passing.
