Hi Fellow Blogger,
Looking for regular “follow” links to your site? This site is running Top Commenter, Comment Luv, and Keyword Luv plugins for WordPress and thus rewards those that leave quality comments with backlinks. Every site needs backlinks to their site as well as content. These Wordpress plugins accomplish both of these things. The backlinks are one way links which are the very best kind. That’s a very cool thing!
A. What do we mean when we say this is a DoFollow Blog?
The DoFollow plugin for WordPress lets you remove the HTML nofollow attribute from your comments. The nofollow command instructs some search engines to ignore hyperlinks for ranking purposes and was designed to reduce search engine spam. It doesn’t work like it should. We use DoFollow to endorse legitimate hyperlinks. As a “Do Follow” blog the link that you leave in your comment will allow Google to track this link back to your site giving your site some of that much coveted “link love.”
B. How do the plugins work?
1. CommentLuv
a. Comment on a post.
b. Before submitting your comment, you have the option of putting in a URL which is then linked with your name when the comment is submitted.
[Note: Make sure your URL is valid; Enter your blog home / domain and not a page within your blog; check the 'enable CommentLuv plugin' checkbox]
c. CommentLuv looks for a blog feed in that URL and if it finds one it extracts the latest post from that feed and links to it as a footer to your original comment.
2. KeywordLuv
KeywordLuv lets you choose your keywords for your link anchor.
a. When you comment on a blog that uses the KeywordLuv plugin, enter keywords in the field for your name using the following syntax: name@keywords. (Example: John@Top SEO Marketing Strategies)
b. The symbol @ is prompted by the KeywordLuv plugin to provide a keyworded title for you. Your name will show up in the comment as John from Top SEO Marketing Strategies instead of just John.
c. KeywordLuv builds a targeted link to your URL for your selected keyword term. (In our example, it would create a targeted link for the term ‘Top SEO Marketing Strategies’.)
d. KeywordLuv is a win-win for the blog owner and for the visitor as it encourages great comments for the blog and links back to the commenter’s own blog.
For the very best results, don’t use the same keywords in your anchor text every time you post a comment. Change them up occasionally with other targeted keywords to your site. Also, avoid just linking back to your homepage. For the best results you should deep link to all your internal pages as well. This could make a big difference in gaining top positions in Google.
3. Top Commenter
The Top Commenter’s plugin for Wordpress allows you to see from your Wordpress dashboard who the top commenter’s are on your blog. These comments can be edited or deleted within your Wordpress blog’s dashboard. It’s a great way to see who is supporting your blog with comments and return visits.

I didn’t know that Keywordluv had so many and so good attributes, I should use it more often, I have it but I underestimated it.
From SEO point of view these are really handy plug-ins. And I like “Keywordluv” very much than others because this will helpful in boosting our keyword rankings.
