Comments Policy

I get quite a few comments like “Nice post”, “Thanks”, “Agree with you” and over the past few months I have been deleting them.

If you want to comment, please say more than “Nice post”.

Add your experiences, feelings, views, thoughts, arguments, advice…and so on.

Commenting is a good way to get traffic back to your site not only with the backlink but also with what you say. If you say something worthwhile, then other people who see your comment will want to visit your site. The more value you add, the more visitors you’ll get.

The Commenter Name

When you comment here you get a backlink but please use your real name as part of your “commenting name”. Don’t just use “SEO Guru” or “Product launches”. If you want to use “Fred @ SEO Guru” that’s fine but have your real name in there as well, please.

More Traffic For You

I’ve also have the  CommentLuv plugin installed.

With CommentLuv, the title of your previous post is displayed. If you sign up with CommentLuv you can choose which of your blog posts titles is displayed.

Depending upon the title, other visitors may be drawn to it and click through to your site. But of course, you have to comment first!

Extra Back-Links

I’ve also installed the WordPress plugin KeyWordLuv.

If you enter “YourName@YourKeyWords” in the Comment Name field you’ll get a link-back to your site using the “YourKeyWords” you use.

For instance, add “Andrew @ Blogging Guide” in the Comment Name field and you’ll get a link back to your URL using the text “Blogging Guide”.

That’s another reason to add an insightful comment.
