More fun and Benefits while commenting on SmartBloggerz!

by Sushant Risodkar on April 16, 2009 · 122 comments

Comments are the one of the main deciding factor of a blog’s popularity. Thus to make Commenting on SmartBloggerz with more fun and more benefits, I have done several changes in the commenting system which I think is really gonna benefit you all a lot. I have done 3 important changes which are as follow :-

1. Comments are now DoFollow! – You read it right; I have now made all comments on this blog DoFollow which will help you boosting your PR and rankings. Thanks to the Dofollow Plugin which helped me in doing this.

2. Link to your blog article – Another change I have done is that I have enabled the popular CommentLuv feature in this blog. This enables the commenter to leave a titled link to their last post automatically whenever they comment or they can also select any other post from their blog too.

3. Add your Twitter ID – This is the last thing which I have done in the commenting system. Thanks to Andy Bailey who discovered a wonderful plugin Twitip ID. Basically this enables the commenter to add his/her Twitter ID in the “Twitter ID” field. Thus helping to boost his/her twitter followers. I am really looking forward to this plugin success.

I hope I have done some important changes in my commenting system to encourage you to comment on the article posted here plus to post comment replying to other comments of commentators.

If you wish to advice any other changes which you think is really great the do tell me by commenting below. Go have a try with this new Commenting System on SmartBloggerz.

[Update 1: One more addition to this. I have added the ability such that commentators can now edit their comments before 3 mins from the comment made so that they can correct any typo error or false sentence. Hope you like it too.]

[Update 2: Gravatar Feature also enabled. If you don't have a gravatar then jump up to www.gravatar.com for more info and set up your gravatar]

[Update 2: Gravatar Feature also enabled. If you don't have a gravatar then jump up to www.gravatar.com for more info and set up your gravatar]

[Update 3: Ajax Edit Comments have been removed due to some problems; Now I have enabled the KeywordLuv Plugin, Enter YourName@YourKeywords in the Name field to link the keyword with your URL to take the SEO benefits of commenting on this blog.]

NOTE: You will find your comments dofollow only after you have crossed our limit of 7 comments. This will be done automatically through a plugin. This has been done to keep this blog clean and better from those one time commentators looking just for immediate backlinks.

Hi,
Thanks for your Do follow thing. I certainly support the concept of do follow. There is nothing wrong in expecting something in return for meaningful participation. Of course there are spammers who would do anything to take advantage. Spamming is probably the key reason why any blog is no follow.
Wish you success with your recent changes,
Regards,
Elina

To Do that you have to change the no-follow tag to do-follow tag. It comes 2 times in a blogger template. So make sure you see the full html file of any template.

You can search on Google for it. It has so many tutorials..

Reply

akira07 July 31, 2009 at 5:07 am

@Typhoon, Simple put rel=dofollow after tag (i can’t write it properly since i fear the HTML tag is active in this comment form).

Anyway, admin, why the recent commentator sometime changed? It’s based on 5 last commentator or random for the (maybe) 10-15 commentator?

Typhoon July 31, 2009 at 3:28 pm

I knw how to make it dofollow. It can be done with just one click no need of adding in codes in wordpress. But I will make it after the end of this contest.

Well the recent commentators are based on 5 recently accepted comments.

Reply

akira07 July 31, 2009 at 11:27 pm

@typhoon
Ah thanks for your plan on making top commentator list is do follow. I’m sure, even without contest, there will be many commentator in this blog (and also, it’s because your article is good).

Anyway now i can see the amount of my post in the top comment list. You add the feature yesterday? It’s shocking that i’m and rky is so near :D
Nice feature

Keywordluv and commentluv is also the best plug in. Using these plugins we can get more traffic.

I have a doubt ..i commented more than 7 times….why i m not in the top commentators….do i need a gravtar account……..

Reply

Typhoon August 30, 2009 at 5:37 pm

You are now appearing..Actually you are having total 8 comments now which few more people are having and according to the plugin when many people have the same no. of comments in a period then they are arranged according to their names i.e alphabetical order.

I think you got the point.

Reply

vinoth August 30, 2009 at 6:06 pm

ya..i got it..but in my blog..i made that 200 people will appear…so it encourages them to comment…as of now ..i have 130 people in my list…

No, I don’t wish to offer any other advice but just want to thank you :) for your efforts in keeping your blog dofollow and also heavily moderating it because deleting spam from legitimate comments takes a lot of time. I don’t use twitter but I love these two plugins a lot, CommentLuv and KeywordLuv. Thanks a ton :)

Martin September 10, 2009 at 3:43 pm

I really like the Keywordluv plugin it is very useful for getting good keyworded backlinks to your website. Thankyou for making our links dofollow this should also help with our websites se ranking.

Do follow is a great feature to allow your readers to benefit from contributing to your site. They get a beneficial back link while the blogger gets increased relevant discussion. A win-win for both parties really.

Senthil Ramesh December 16, 2009 at 11:03 pm

Sure it is. I can see everyone switching to dofollow other than for ads and affiliate links.

Yes, trend has change. If in the past, blog admin turn off their do follow or even comment form because fear of spam, now their open it up and add do follow. Because nowadays, people do almost anything to get visitor (contest, do follow comment, top commentator, twitter exposure, paying member, freebies, etc)

May be because Spammers also spam no follow nowadays and bloggers have thought its good to be dofollow and spammed :P

Hi Sushant
I’ve been toying with the idea of installing CommentLuv and possibly KeywordLub, but can’t make up my mind.
I’ve read a few articles explaining the benefits of using them but sites like Pro Blog Design have stopped using CommentLuv, so I’m a bit suspicious.
I’ll have to think a bit more about it….

BTW Lots of interesting articles on your site.

Reply

akira07 December 21, 2009 at 2:08 am

I would like to know what reason makes pro blog design disactivate it. Maybe their have not strong enough spam prevention plug-in?
