Some CommentLuv for all

After seeing this in action at a friends blog, I thought this little nugget of a plug in would be great! It’s called CommentLuv and if you so allow it will try to grab your last entry on your blog and slap a link up for it.

I think it only works for Wordpress, as in it’s a plugin only for Wordpress, but it looks like it will search your blog in the usual spots for a the feed, here’s some info on that part “The plugin looks for a feed in the default location of your blog, for Wordpress users this will be /feed/ or /?feed=rss, blogspot users get /feeds/posts/default, web-log blogs are now included thanks to Edward De Leau. If it can’t find a feed there then it will search your <head> part of your website for an alternate link (<link rel=”alternate”) and use that instead.

I hope you enjoy!

    Yes, it only works for WP, but I’ve seen it somewhere the other day where it grabbed the last post from my blog.
    No idea how that worked.
    Maybe someone managed to tweak it :)

    I think this is a great tool to encourage user participation by rewarding them for adding meaningful content to the blog. Blogging should be an interaction between the reader and writer. Increased comments on your blog has search benefits for the blog(ger) and commentluv gives a nice plug to the commenter. Seems like a nice match if it doesn’t become a spam magnet.

    I guess it all depends on how you have commenting set up, if you’re careful and set it up good you’ll be in control for comments, otherwise you’ll have spam for days. But I see you either didn’t allow it to find your last post, you have no last post, or it couldn’t find it.

    Definitely a great tool to increase comment participation. If you use Wordpress just enable Akismet and that catches most of the spam. Just click the “Recheck Queue for Spam” before moderating and that catches about 90% for me.

    Interesting!
    CommentLuv helps you reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their site. This gives them improved anchor text, which can help their site rank higher in the search engine results.
    You can now leave a comment with your name as well as a keyword of your choice here and get a PR5 link back to your site! How cool is that? People pay big bucks for that and all you have to do is comment here.
