WordPress plugins to get more comments
There are a few WordPress plugins I came across while surfing The Wrong Advices. They are designed to encourage readers to leave their comments on blogs. Whether or not they work is another matter but the blogging arena has come down to this.
Link Love was created by Andy Beard as a means of control for people who are cautious about using the “dofollow” tag outright. Link Love lets you set a threshold (default is 10) and if readers reach that threshold, the “nofollow” tag will be removed.
Comment Rankings uses a star ranking system to rank those who make the most comments. The number of stars will correspond with the number of comments made.
Comment Relish is a plugin which sends a “thank you” email to someone who comments for the first time. This is quite a thoughtful gesture. The message can be customized to give it the personal touch.
A real beauty that's 0.34 inch thick, the iPad 2 weighs just 1.35 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display running a custom 1GHz dual-core Apple "A5" chip.
I love these plugins, you can give your commentators credit for the time and effort they put into your weblog.
You can even use Comment Relish to send special offers (like a free personalised website review) to someone after x# comments. The code needs some editing though.
And comment rankings don’t need to be explained at all, this tool just works because the top commentators will have a backlink for free and people will start competing resulting in more and more comments.
Nice post, good informational value.
Sending special offers via the comments plugin is a great idea Chris, that can really compliment an email list. Thx!
Just browsing the internet, very, very interesting blog.
Its ironic that many bloggers talk about this but then they actually use no follow.
I honestly don’t think nofollow matters, google just seems to ignore PR with nofollow, not the real “rank juice”
Great site. Get your self some banners from cj to make extra $:)
