This is how it works. When CommentLuv is enabled on a blog, the checkbox and CommentLuv icon is activated on each blog post. When a user leaves a comment on one of my blog posts, the plugin automatically goes out and searches their blog for the latest post. If it finds one, it automatically adds a titled link at the end of the comment which links back to their post.
This works out great for both parties.
By having CommentLuv enabled on my site, I hope that it encourages visitors to comment that may otherwise leave without posting one. Of course I hope the comment sparks some discussion and isn’t just a spam comment (those will not be approved).
The person leaving the comment wins as well. If they have a blog, they have now created a link back to their site. This link will hopefully benefit them in the search engines. It will also allow my other readers the ability to see what the person who left the comment is blogging about and if they are interested, I hope they will visit the link.
DoFollow is simply an internet slang term given to web pages or sites that are not utilizing NoFollow. NoFollow is a hyperlink inclusion that tells search engines not to pass on any credibility or influence to an outbound link. Originally created to help the blogging community reduce the number of inserted links into a “comment” area of a blog page, the attribute is typically standard in blog comments. It helps overwhelmed webmasters disallow spammers from gaining any kind of advantage by inserting an unwanted link on a popular page.
As a result of the implementation of NoFollow: link building has taken a massive hit, as many sites including Wikis, social bookmarking sites, corporate and private blogs, commenting plugins and many other venues and applets across the internet began implementing NoFollow. This made effective link building difficult for both honest people and spammers alike.
By the way, there’s nothing wrong with getting NoFollow links. In fact, you’ll want to get an equal amount of them as well. While they don’t pass on link juice, they do help associate your site with anchor text (the keyword phrase that makes up the URL pointing to your site).
