Sort of reminds me of Digital Point forums, which lists your recent 'blog article, but only for those that have posted the required number of forum comments...
Wayne, yes, similar, except I guess there's no one ever likely to post more than a handful of comments on a wee site like this. The plugin could presumably be hacked to add a conditional tag for larger more active sites...maybe one day.
Calaelen, I may have that aspect of it wrong. Check back and do a page refresh when you next update your blog and let us know if it's showing the new post on this comment.

thanks for using CommentLuv! just to clear up any questions, it only parses the feed at the time of the comment being submitted otherwise it would take too long to parse every time the page loads. There'll be an update soon to add some AJAX to the equation so it'll be even faster at adding the last blog post. :-)
Thanks for dropping by Andy and for the clarification! Great plugin!

Interesting plugin, David! I can certainly see it as a great tool for encouraging comments in the right blog niche. In my case, not many of my readers have blogs although there are a few fellow guitar bloggers out there who might be enticed to comment more frequently by implementing it. :)
I'll have to give it some thought although I'm also concerned about the potential for abuse. A conditional statement (as Wayne suggests) would help here but it seems like there's a potential increase in burden on the blogger. For example, a comment that passes spam tests may end up with a link to an article post that readers find offensive.
Of course, commenters without a blog of their own could add a link they feel would produce a useful headline, but I see what you mean about a comment passing spam tests that nevertheless throws up an offensive headline ;-)

I really like the Comment luv plugin but am scared of it hurting my site… as a compromise I do it on about 1/2 my sites and not on the others… it’s good for getting readers… bad for SEO… so I guess it’s all about what you're going for
Mr Market-Software, or shall I call you Justin, I'm not entirely sure why it would cause any SEO harm to your site to run Comment Luv unless someone from a dodgy site were posting comments, but then some bloggers actually check out the sites to which their commenters are linking before up-moderating comments. I was in two minds about approving your post given your pseudonym, but you got through the meta filter.

I have just started using it on my blog. But when I use my comment on a blog with the plug-in, my post link doesn't show the actual URL but some strange feedburner feed?
Hersh, the reason it's doing that is because the plugin uses your RSS newsfeed to grab the most recent headline and your site's feed is using Feedburner. You can make it work by adding a CNAME in your hosting and then doing a mod at Feedburner to make that system represent your RSS items as if they were properly hosted on your blog. I may write about this in a little more detail soon, if anyone puts in a request...

Comment Luv seems a great idea but how come it adds the NoFollow tag to the link, isn't that kinda the opposite of what Comment Luv is all about?
"japanese ice cream", it's not supposed to add nofollow, this blog should be adding dofollow, let me investigate...

Thanks for looking, David. I actually can't tell on your site but others that have CommentLuv and also let you edit the comment - when I have gone to edit there is a NoFollow tag on the link. I thought this to be a bit strange seeing the ideals of commentluv. cheers from Australia.
Yep, I think it is, it improves connectivity between blogs, and connectivity means community.

Just don't forget to disable the feedburner ‘Item Link Clicks’ under the 'FeedBurner StatsPRO’ or else, the credit will go to feedburner instead of your blog.
Gavin, yes you do have to keep on top of comments, but they're still at a relatively low rate on this blog, so not a problem yet.

Actually I'm found this site via Google search engine. I'm use "Top Commentator" term to find blog that allow backlink through Top Commentator.
So, this method sure work to attract more traffic.

Susan, glad to welcome you to the Sciencetext community. I think the real benefit of CommentLuv is for the reader and these who comment, opening up the discussion to the wider blogosphere.

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.
For now, I've disabled CommentLuv it was interfering (at the php/server level) with another aspect of the site. A hack will hopefully get around the problem. In the meantime, I'd be interested to know if anyone actually cares that I deactivated it, albeit temporarily, let me know...

I see that you've disabled Comment Luv ... I also had problems with that plugin on a blog.
I'm curious ... are you still using the Top Commentators plugin?
David Bradley
· 1 year ago
@Marta When I upgraded to 2.6.1 there seemed to be a conflict between a couple of plugins, I took the opportunity to deactivate some of the less important ones including CommentLuv and Top Commentators. I don't think they were doing very much for Sciencetext anyway and you're the first person to mention them since.

Thanks for replying so quickly ... it's interesting, on some blogs Top Commentators drives traffic like crazy, while on others it doesn't make a dent.
Nice to discover your blog anyway, thanks again.

I get decent traffic..averaging around 3000 uniques a day at the moment, I believe, but traffic does not seem to equate to comments even when Luv and Tops were enabled.

As I mentioned earlier, I disabled this plugin and a bunch of others in an effort to minimize CPU overhead on the site and to make it sleeker all round.

Hi David, just to let you know that I have updated commentluv so it uses the visitors browser to do the fetching so it should have a significant effect on decreasing your server load if you get a lot of comments.
thanks for keeping the post about it up!

Thanks for dropping by Andy. Glad you've done some optimization. I do recommend CommentuLuv to fellow bloggers although I'm keeping my site stripped back for the time being (nothing personal).

Now I am going to spam that crud out of you. Ha Dude. Just kidding. I am using Blogger so I don't get these extra features, but I am curious. How much a month are you paying for wordpress?
@Taylor I know you're joking, but the fact that you left your email address in a comment on a website, kind of reveals a naivety about spam in general....unless of course it's a spoof address. As to how much I pay for Wordpress. I don't it's free software. You can get a free Wordpress account on their system or download and install it on your own domain.
Taylor
· 1 year ago
No man. It's not a spoof email. I sincerely was looking for a response from you because I really want to know how much you pay for Wordpress.
Since you said it's free, I guess you don't have to email me. ;)
Also, you can pay for Wordpress for more features. I think when you buy Wordpress you're allowed to better edit your HTML and add more plugins... Isn't that true?
David Bradley
· 1 year ago
Yeah, that's if you're using Wordpress on their system. It's better to buy your own domain and hosting (check the spec, needs to be Apache and PHP capable plus a few other things). It will cost you about $10 a month I reckon and you if you have a host that uses Fantastico you'll usually have Wordpress as an autoinstall that you can do what you will with in terms of addons, plugins, and tweaks.
Want me to remove that email before it gets spam trawled?

Really useful information about this lovely plugin. Thanks for your post. Now I also use Comment Luv in my blogs...
All Comments
"it will update next time that site updates"
About that: Does the plugin pulls every feed-url in the comments each time someone reloads the page? (huge time/traffic problem?)
