followed the movement and enabled three plugins that can benefit all of
you following along here.
First off, I have removed the no follow attribute in the comments
section using the No Follow Free Plugin. When you leave a comment, you
now get a backlink that will count in the search engines from me.
But hold on, it gets even better. I have also enabled Comment Luv and
Keyword Luv which gives you the opportunity to actually get two
backlinks and keyword rich anchor text from one comment.
Comment Luv works by showing a link to the title from your latest
blog post on your site under your comment. This not only gives you a
backlink to your blog, but if your post title is interesting enough,
some of my readers may be inclined to visit you. 
Keyword Luv is fairly new and I can already see the value in having a
plugin like this. This one is especially important for those of you who
are not using a blog for your url in the comment section.
Keyword Luv works by separating your name from the keywords you would
like to use in the anchor text of your comment. This gives you much
improved anchor text for the link. So instead of just your name or
keywords being hyperlinked in the comment, your comment will look a
little like this:
Example of KeywordLuv
If they enter "Damon@Top Camera Review"
in the Name field, their comment will have:
Damon fromhref="http://topcamerareview.com/">Top Camera Review
Says:
rather than:
Review Says:
If they dont enter the @ symbol, the anchor text will simply display
as normal. For a live example, see the first comment below.
Why Is Anchor Text Important?
There are many articles about the value of having
href="http://www.monetizeyourblog.net/2008/01/09/seo-backlink-anchor- text-optimization/" target="_blank">your keywords in the anchor text
well for those keywords with the search engines, bringing you more
traffic.
One source of backlinks are comments on
href="http://www.scratch99.com/2007/07/wordpress-nofollow-should-i- follow/" target="_blank">DoFollow blogs
anchor text is normally your name. While this helps you rank well for
your name, its
href="http://www.untwistedvortex.com/2008/03/27/backlink-building-with- dofollow-blogs-and-the-commentluv-wordpress-plugin/" target="_blank">practically worthless for your keywords
name field, but they risk
being marked as spammers.
I understand peoples desire to get the best value from their link,
but Im tired of answering comments with "Hi Miami Hotels". Id
like them to leave their name, without it effecting their keyword
benefit. Enter KeywordLuv
By using KeywordLuv (and a Dofollow plugin) you get better links,
rewarding the commenter and encouraging more
people to comment.
This is not an email address. It just tells the plugin to parse the
the name and use everything after as the anchor text for the link. Go
on, leave me a comment and give it a try to see how it works.
If you are interested in using any of these plugins on your
WordPress blog, you can find them here:

Have fun and I hope you all will take advantage of this.
NOTE: I have been pretty liberal in approving
comments, however recent extensive abuse is making me add to this post.
Folks, I'm not stupid. I've been at this for years and I realize most of
you are only looking for a link. You stand a much greater chance of
getting it approved if you at least look like you are adding to the
discussion. The ones you see below and elsewhere on this site took the
time to make the attempt, follow their lead. If it continues, I'll leave
Keyword Luv and Comment Luv enabled but will re-enable nofollow on the
links. You don't want that and neither do I. Use the comment section
wisely.
