Getting more comments with CommentLUV
In my opinion a good indicator of how successful a blog truly is comes from the number of comments that each post gets. Being that PeterFoti.com is still relatively new I am not at the stage of someone like Shoe Money or John Chow who both receive hundreds of comments per blog post that they make however I am trying. I look to make every post of mine as interactive as possible in order to give people the open door to leave positive feedback. However with the advent of Comment Luv it may be just a little bit easier for me to receive comments after all. What Comment Luv does is place the title and a link to your most recent blog post. In doing so you are giving commenters an added advantage to commenting rather than simply commenting to comment.
I have seen this plugin used many times before however I was never truly aware of its name, and never bothered to look into it. However after reading John Chow’s blog and seeing that he to is now using this plug in, it only makes sense for me to do the same.
Now….for those of you already using this WP plugin, if you leave a comment here at PeterFoti.com I will follow the link back to your blog and comment as well 
Yet another incentive to comment.

We added Comment Luv on the 9th so it to soon to do a % increase check, but it is defiantly a positive. We also require a 20 words comment to activate the extra link. A “nice post” comment just isn’t going to cut it. We still get a few but they have decreased dramatically.

Im not concerned with things like “Nice Post” for the link. Granted I would love more substance in a comment but I would not put a minimum on the number of words to get the link. In my opinion just the fact that people are taking the time to write a comment on your blog is enough for me.

With the arrival of commentluv, seo is no longer as hard as it use to be. Many people will usually leave comments to post that has a commentluv being enabled.

Im not sure how much “easier” it makes SEO, but its definitely something fun to have on your site as it certainly helps to get the conversations going.
