KeywordLuv is a great plugin to reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their website, giving them improved anchor text. If they enter “Stephen@Custom WordPress Plugins” in the Name field, their comment will have:
Stephen from Custom WordPress Plugins Says:
rather than:
If they don’t enter the @ symbol, the anchor text will simply display as normal. News You Know is happy to announce that we now have enabled KeywordLuv to help you establish your own blog on the search engines.
Why Is Anchor Text Important?
There are many articles about the value of having your keywords in the anchor text of backlinks to your site. This helps your site rank well for those keywords with the search engines, bringing you more traffic.
One source of backlinks are comments on DoFollow blogs, but the anchor text is normally your name. While this helps you rank well for your name, it’s practically worthless for your keywords. That’s why some commentators put keywords in the name field, but they risk being marked as spammers.
I understand people’s desire to get the best value from their link, but I’m tired of answering comments with “Hi Miami Hotels”. I’d like them to leave their name, without it effecting their keyword benefit. Enter KeywordLuv…
By using KeywordLuv (and a Dofollow plugin) you give your commentators better links, rewarding them and encouraging more people to comment.
DoFollow
For your commentators to benefit from KeywordLuv, your blog requires a separate Dofollow plugin to remove the nofollow tag. KeywordLuv does not do this and without it, your commentators will not receive any benefit.
While KeywordLuv could remove the nofollow tag, there are many existing plugins that do this AND provide advanced features I don’t want to replicate.
