A Trick To Get Easy Links With CommentLuv
I’ll normally leave the link building tips to Mixed Market Arts but the other day I came across a neat use of Google and CommentLuv that I wanted to share. This technique is pretty smooth and I’m upset that I didn’t think of this myself weeks, if not months, ago when I first wrote about CommentLuv.
For those of you who don’t remember, CommentLuv is a plugin for WordPress that will append a link to the latest blog post a person has made to any comment they leave on your site. I use the plugin here so if anyone wants to see how it works just leave a comment on this or any other post.
It’s a cool little plugin that may or may not inspire more people to leave comments on your posts. The clever trick though is something I came upon while going through my stat logs here. It turns out with a really simple Google query you can find blog posts related to specific keywords you are interested in that have CommentLuv enabled.
In the Google search box type something like this: commentluv inurl:golf
Replace the word golf with whatever keyword you’re looking for and you’ll be presented with a list of blog posts that have that word in the URL and have CommentLuv enabled. Visit one of the posts and leave a comment to get an easy link to your latest post. It’s that simple.
Testing CommentLuv Functionality. Great post, hope this works as intended!

I disagree with previous poster. It is possible to find a lot of dofollow blogs with this trick.

Interesting!
CommentLuv helps you reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their site. This gives them improved anchor text, which can help their site rank higher in the search engine results.
You can now leave a comment with your name as well as a keyword of your choice here and get a PR5 link back to your site! How cool is that? People pay big bucks for that and all you have to do is comment here.

Yes, there is dofollow link but what i experience is 70% is nofollow. However, no matter dofollow or nofollow, commentluv still work great as a reward for commentators.
By the way thanks for the information.
