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.
Wow, all the changes are awesome.
I have been using the DoFollow plugin for sometime now.
I am impressed with the twitter username, I will have to go have a look and see how to add it to my theme.
The CommentLuv is a good idea and I have seen it on many websites now days.
Thanks for the changes.
I see that it has twitter wording nest to my name and then mu username on next line. I’m using FF.
Maybe skip a line after the person’s name before you put the twitter wording.
Just my opinion.
Ya George, I was aware of that styling problem. And I am looking how to change it. Thanks.
Edit – Bingo!! That thing have been solved.
I need one more suggestion that Gravatar should be below the name or above the name or below the twitter ID?
Hei Dude,
Your blog is rocking man.

Nice..Thanks for activating Gravatar feature 😀
We went this route about six weeks ago and traffic has increased about 60%. Not only that but the quality of comments has dramatically improved! You should expect similar results.
Boris’s last blog post..SEO Doesn’t Take Forever Or At Least Not For Me!
With all those features, I think this is a great commenting system. It will certainly encourage more comments from genuine bloggers.
I do like the way bloggers can register with commentluv to select which post on their own blog they want to show up in the comment box – how cool is that!
Ruth Belena’s last blog post..Free Blogging Money
This is a great thing to happen! More and more users are using doFollow. But friends, it is our duty to right the comments responsibly
Mate looks great but during the PR update your blog war NoFollow for some time but now its dofollow am i right mate….
Balaji’s last blog post..How to view Deleted Video from YouTube
Yup, you are right balaji. I make my blog nofollow before 10-15 days from pr update to decrease the amount of external links. This is because it has been found that number of external links also plays a major role in pagerank.
No. of external links is very important thing.. tht way dofollow is useful for me!
