To encourage my loyal readers to leave more comments, I have made the following changes to my blog template today. This will serve as a good news to top commentators especially.
1. Removed “No-Follow” from Comments – I know most of you can’t wait that I do this. But I have been too busy to activate this feature until now.
Note: With this, when you comment on my posts and leave a link, you could get a link back that not only sends traffic, but increases your number of external back-links, which can help increase your search engine ranking, as well as your relevance on sites like Technorati.
2. Installed “Top Commentators” widget - In order to recognize the effort of Top Commentators, I have install this widget to show the top 5 commentators whom left the most comments in my blog.
Note: I have set the counts to reset after every 30 days. This is to ensure consistent commenting in a long term basis.
Please keep supporting my program and I will not stop rewarding my loyal readers.
It would be great if you can include links to the plugins that have helped to remove the “NoFollow” and to add the “Top Commentators” widget so that other interested parties can follow suit.
Still hanging around.
Hi Clement, thanks for suggesting. Ok, I will include them in. Initially I thought this is nothing new, so I never put in the links. I have updated my post accordingly.
I have wanted one of these forever! THANKS for the great work;
Wow, great more great rewards coming! I’m interested in that Stumbleupon program, i just recently registered with them, i’m hoping to learn more about this. Good day!
Hi Julie, sure, I will continue to work out newer ideas and write better articles for you readers.
Hi Yna, for me, I am seeing more and more traffic coming from my SU page. The key point is to keep working on SU the smart way, which I am still mastering
i wish you can put this widget in blogger too
you have made a great choice with those changes. You will see a positive change in both comments and feed count!
Hi Thomas Sinfield, thanks for your compliment. I will continue to work harder. Meanwhile I need support from you guys. As mentioned, I hope my blog can bring money and traffic to all of you. That’s my objective.
using these plugins is a great to kick off user generated content.
Hi SEO Agency, yes you are right about this.
Good thing to do with the nofollow.Removing nofollow may be one of the best thing one can do in terms of comments and it really gets to the bottom of the internet idea. Nofollow is artificial and I think that more of us should remove it in order to get back to the roots of internet. Link love has always been something good!
Hi Ecommerce Website Templates, I have been wanting to do it but keep delaying. In order not to let my readers continue waiting, I have decided to do it.
