I have added the CommentLuv plugin to Thinking Home Business today.
Andy Wibbels has a post today on Using CommentLuv and how he has wanted to try it out.
I then remembered that Caroline Middlebrook had written a post back in February on using the CommentLuv plugin to encourage comments.
This plugin allows the commenter to choose whether their last post is shown at the bottom of their comment.
Do you use Comment Luv? Let us know what you think?

Hi Suzie
Yes, I use Comment Luv on my blog. I think it’s a nice way to give something back to commenters, plus it’s a good way to find interesting posts too.
Welcome to Thinking Home Business.
I’ve noticed a huge difference in the number and quality of comments after I installed CommentLuv. Especially when people see I approve comments that are of value in bot information and aren’t simply one liners that want to get links back to their site.
I would encourage anyone who has a blog to seriously consider installing the CommentLuv plugin and at least consider removing the nofollow tag. Sure you might get a few spam comments, but you can always delete these instead of approving. Remember, comments are content for your site, fresh content, and if the person leaving the comment has written something of value then it can help when the search spiders crawl your site for fresh content.

Hi, Michael from Germany here.
i use the plugin too.
My blog is pretty young, so i can’T reely tell if it increases comments.
But from the comments i got so far, i got the impression that most are just commenting to promote their own blogs …
Still i think giving some Luv to your commenters is a good idea.
So i will keep the plugin activated. Oh, and there seems to be a new release in the making.
Just vit the creators blog. There is a feature discussion going on …
Regards,
Michael
I use “Comment Kahuna” to bulk comment on blogs and link back to my Troy Management webpage pushing it up on the search engine rankings. Try it… it is free and effective.
I love the plug in. I think it gives that little extra push for someone who maybe wouldn’t participate in the discussion to do so.
