Yeah, Keywordluv is not very popular though. Only about 70 blogs have it installed so far. I’m guessing because it’s fairly new and not alot of bloggers know about it. It would be great if that plugin was a standard feature.

There is a plugin called KeywordLuv which was created to give commenters the ability to add Keywords to their anchor text. It is on my list of plugins to install here, but I haven’t got around to it because I am currently launching a few other sites.

I just created a great post only to have it erased because of the keyword i use for my name. Why do financial sites get the short end of the stick when it comes to keywords as names.

But oh well, i guess that’s just the way it is. Anyway, getting blog links is great for your site, but if the blogger allows you to use keywords as your name, than that’s a great added benefit.

Great tip about the firefox add-in. I’m off to get it now. As you can see i’ve got my keyword in the name. I’m more than happy to use a name if it’s stated to do so.

Thanks again for the tip.

I haven’t gone as far as using a keyword in the name field. Just noted it as I was browsing a few blogs. I have put the name of my site before instead of my own name.
Thanks for coming by.

Hey Stephen,

I’m a pretty new subscriber and just found this page; great stuff!

The permalink idea is indeed excellent, especially if it leads to a post that compliments the on your commenting on. Did that make sense?

And no, blog owners shouldn’t get annoyed by it. A URL is a URL, unless of course it leads to something offensive…a lot of the “smarter” porn sites will leave legit comments on do-follow blogs for the link.

Now keyword spamming the *name* field DOES irritate a lot of blog owners, more and more everyday. That’s not meant as an insult, that’s what it’s referred to as.

Anyhoo, awesome stuff here. I’ll be back for sure

[...] Freely linking to other blogs or specific posts that help further develop and expound on your own post, without expecting anything in return, is by far what has worked best for me in increasing traffic to my blog. Whenever I find a post that has valuable information I know will be of benefit to others, I bookmark the page and link to it in an upcoming post. You have to “give to get”, but doing so with selfish motives or expecting a reciprocal link later on down the road is ridiculous. Does Stephan Miller and Dane Morgan know who I am? You betcha they do! [...]
