If you visit and comment on blogs you might have noticed that some refer to CommentLuv. What CommentLuv will do is search your rss feed for your most recent posts. If it finds your feed a list of your recent posts will be available for you to choose from. Some sites will allow you to choose one of your last 10 posts, while others only allow you to select your last post.
It tends to be geared towards WordPress blogs because it searches the known location of these feeds.
The beauty of it is you do not need to have a WordPress blog to use it for building internal backlinks. If your website has a rss/xml feed of some kind you can still use it when commenting.
So rather than just getting a backlink from the name field in a comment form you can also get one to an internal page.
Building backlinks to your internal pages can increase your link popularity and help increase your rank in Google search results.
I will show you how to use CommentLuv to build backlinks with a non-Wordpress website. This assumes that your website has a rss/xml feed of some kind.
In the following example I will use msn.com for reference. So just pretend that msn.com was your website that you were going to use when commenting.
How to get a backlink using CommentLuv with non-Wordpress websites
1. Fill out the comment form with your name, email address, website rss/xml feed link, and actual comment.
I would enter the following into a comment form.
Name: John Doe
Mail: johndoe@johndoe.com
Website: http://msn.com/rss/news.aspx (This is your rss/xml feed. We will change it before we submit the comment.)
Then, click in the comment field area and CommentLuv will search the rss feed.
You can see in this case I have the option to choose one of the last 10 posts from the particular feed.
I will choose the first one just to make things fast and simple.
Type your comment (non-spam of course).
2. Before submitting your comment change the website field (link) to the homepage
After I have typed my comment, I change the website field from http://msn.com/rss/news.aspx (the rss/xml feed address) to just http://www.msn.com (the main website address).
It would then look something like this:
Name: John Doe
Mail: johndoe@johndoe.com
Website: http://msn.com
Important!
Do not click back in the comment field or you will lose the CommentLuv link and you will have to re-enter your rss/xml feed link into the website field.
Be sure to check any anti-spam confirmations, fill out captcha, etc.
Then, just click the Post Comment button.
3. The results
What you will end up with is the name field will link to the main website and you will also get a CommentLuv link to the inner page, story, or article with the actual title of the post.
In this example:
John Doe will be linked to:
http://www.msn.com
Pakistan floods: Misery, illness will be linked to:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44522452/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia/
Note:
Keep in mind that if you have never commented on the particular blog it is likely the site owner will need to approve your comment before you see it. Do not spam the name field with a keywords, and leave an actual comment that is on topic and adds value to the conversation. Otherwise, you are just wasting your time and the blog owners time for nothing.
Another example from my own website.
DialMe links to:
http://www.dialme.com/blog/
Google Pagerank Update June 27, 2011 links to:
http://www.dialme.com/blog/google-pagerank-update-june-27-2011/
Other:
You get one link to your main website page from the name field, and a second link to an internal page from CommentLuv.
The majority of blogs have the nofollow attribute on the name link, but you can still find a few blogs with a dofollow name field if you do some searching.
CommentLuv links can be nofollow or dofollow depending on what the blog owner enables.
Regardless of whether the name link or CommentLuv link are dofollow or nofollow it is an excellent way to build links to your internal web pages.
WordPress blog owners:
If you have a WordPress blog you can simply add the link to your main homepage in the name field and CommentLuv will automatically find your feeds. In most cases it is not necessary to enter the rss feed.

Commentluv is a great tool in blogging. It benefit not only bloggers but the blog commentators/commenters as well in building links.
Noel Addison@Web Design Ventura recently posted..Selling Ice Cubes to Eskimos
I’ve notice that Commenluv links are no follow. Well, most of them. So I could say that some links coming from Commentluv does not help on search engine rankings but in indexing links only. Try it out and see for yourself. Download SEOquake extension and install it on your browser. See other links are highlighted as no follow. I am not sure if there is an option to change them to do follow.
The website owner has the option to set CommentLuv to nofollow or dofollow. While many blogs are nofollow, there are a lot of them out there that are dofollow.
Is there a way of finding out whether or not a blog is do follow or not?
Seems a bit pointless creating a no-follow blog!
You can check this link out for some Firefox addons that will show dofollow/nofollow links: http://www.dialme.com/blog/how-to-tell-if-links-are-dofollow-or-nofollow/ Of course you may need to do some hunting too. You will find more nofollow than dofollow, but they are out there too.
Actually, nofollow links are VERY beneficial, having JUST dofollow links is a GREAT way to get penalized because it does NOT look natural. Having 10,000 dofollow ONLY links tells google it is artificial.

One of the features of CommentLuv is the site owner has the choice of setting the actual CommentLuv link to either dofollow or nofollow. You usually find a nice combination of both out there.
That’s right noel commentluv is a really good tool for every site and make it do follow to help increase your Rank. I am glad to see this here.

A lot of blog sites are now currently using CommentLuv to their sites so it is important for commenter to understand how to use the commentluv feature to every site to maximize their comments and gain advantage out of it.
Julie Hayes recently posted..Used Fire Trucks for sale
CommentLuv is a nice plugin and feature. It is a great way to build links to internal pages.
Thanks for the reply. I also use comment luv to promote my new post or new pages. do only dofollow commentluv links can help my site?
Julie Hayes recently posted..דיאטה
A lot of people look for only dofollow, but you really should have a balance of dofollow and nofollow.
DialMe, that’s a pretty cool trick that I used before I got my hands on CommentLuv premium.
Keep in mind that some users might not know how to find their RSS feed if they are new or if they don’t use WordPress. If you’re using Chrome install one of the RSS subscription extensions, then add your site to Google Reader. Then go to Reader, click show details and you’ll get your RSS feed.
Hope that helps.
btw – I’m accepting shares from you on StumbleUpon now, so send me some good stuff to thumb up.
Ileane recently posted..Getting Your Blog Ready For CommentLuv Premium
WordPress and Google Blogger – Blogspot rss feeds are pretty easy to find and figure out. Finding an rss feed for other websites can be another story. Some are easy to figure out, and others that might not be the case. Thanks for the Google reader / rss tip. I like Stumbleupon. I wish there were a couple more hours in a day to get to all the sites I like.
I don’t understand why comment love shows my older posts and not the newer ones??
All the links are from the very start of the year? I have been trying to iron out the problem for ages?
Is it possible for me to host a Comment Luv comment link back on my site. i am with Viviti.
Julie@GourmetGetaways recently posted..Easter Egg Mousse Cake – Cookbook Challenge
Could be related to your rss feed or feed settings. You can add commentluv to wordpress or blogspot/blogger sites using intensedebate. You might be able to integrate intensedebate into other blogging platforms or websites you would have to do some research on that.
Thank you for the clear explanation about comment luv. It is clearly beneficial and i will use it from now on. Thanks for the info.
regards,
Anne
Thanks for the cool explanation. This should help a bunch of people who are not using WordPress.
Jane | Tech Buzz Online recently posted..Rhapsody: Social Music To Social Media

Glad you liked it and I hope it helps you.
please can i use this commentluv on dolphin site
CommentLuv is only available for WordPress and Google Blogger/Blogspot. However, you can still benefit by commenting on WordPress blogs using one of your Dolphin rss feeds to get the CommentLuv link if you follow the instructions in this post. I have done so with Dolphin on a number of occasions.
The CommentLuv and KeywordLuv combo sure attracts a lot of people who make blog comments to your blog. There are some that use only the premium CommentLuv plug-in which allows you to do the same KeywordLuv thing (Name@YourKeywords) after a number of your comments has been approved.
I hear good things about the CommentLuv premium version. The free version has been great and works well.
Thank you for the well explained info. I have been to at least 20 sites and none have helped. This website told me exactly about commentluv.

Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
thanks,

It can attract more comments, but likely a more spammers too.
Really a great post..Commentluv and keywordluv are the best plugin for both blogger and internet marketing people.
Rosie@WordPress Developer recently posted..Gowebbaby Opposed SOPA/PIPA
CommentLuv is one of my favorite WordPress plugins, and it is updated and actively developed.
Good post. Also remember not to spam when blog commenting by making posts that have nothing to do with the topic. It’s people like that, that make people think twice about turning follow on in the first place.
This is a great incentive for contributions in comments. I especially had to scour the usual source code to detect gaps as dofollow.
But in this case, will facilitate a lot …
Leveraging on our blog also dofollow there is. This new plugin, will install in just a second.

Glad you like it. One of the great features of CommentLuv is you have the option of setting it to dofollow or nofollow.
I appreciate the screenshots showing all the steps to post properly… I went for a while with the basic commentluv, but I upgraded to commentluv premium i order to take advantage of the feeds feature. I highly recommend this… It’s a must-have feature for serious bloggers.
