If you’re not using the DoFollow Plug-In and CommentLuv Plug-In on your blogs, you’re missing both a major draw to get targeted traffic coming to your blogs to post comments, and a fantastic way to make your blogs more interactive and user-friendly for your readers.

By enabling both plug-ins, you’re rewarding those who leave approved* comments on your blog by giving them both a link back to their blog’s main URL and a link to their latest post’s permalink, both of which can help in their SEO & PR quests.

When I spoke onstage as the reigning Web 2.0 Targeted Traffic Expert at Carl Galletti’s Internet Marketing SuperConference at the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas in June 2008, I had yet to be introduced to CommentLuv. But it would have been a featured part of that presentation if I’d have already known about Andy Bailey & his marvellous bit of coding!

And to make it even better, as an incentive to get you using and supporting the blogs that use CommentLuv, they have announced a contest for the next couple of weeks. Want to win some cool prizes?

Here are the rules:

1. You must be registered at CommentLuv.com and have your site URL registered and verified.
2. You must complete your profile at CommentLuv.com.
3. You cannot spam – but as a reader of Internet Marketing with Doug Champigny, you never would anyway, right?
4. You do not need to have CommentLuv installed – but Do It!

How to win an instant prize:

- Start by leaving a relevant comment here – even if you don’t win, you’ll get both the links back to your blog and add points to your personal ‘Karma bank’.

- If you’ve won, your last blog post will come back with a prize notification attached.

- Click on it to get to the winners page. If you haven’t won yet, go back to their site and see the list of participating sites, and try again on another one.

Good Luck!

*Approved Comments: When you add the DoFollow tag to your blogs, unscrupulous types will try and autopost to your blog comments. I use the HashCash Plug-In to stop the auto-posters, and so far it works beautifully. Also, turn on the ‘All Comments Should Be Held For Moderation’ in your Admin Panel – that way you can stop silly comments like ‘Nice Post’, ‘Great Site’ or those with less-than-polite terms/comments/suggestions, and save your Luv for people who take the time to make real, intelligent & related comments about the issues in your blog posts.

Disclaimer: This contest is being run solely by CommentLuv. Doug Champigny & this site have no say in, influence nor control over any aspect of the event, including but not limited to their site, the contest, the selection of winners or the delivery of prizes. Please refer all enquiries to the CommentLuv Team via their website.
