Keyword Luv

by Dave on January 22, 2010

WordPress Plugin – KeywordLuv!
Reward your commentators by separating their name from their keywords in the link to their website, giving them improved anchor text.
Example

If they enter “Steve@the best bank” in the Name field, their comment will have:

Steve from the best bank Says:

rather than:

Steve@the best bank Says:

If they don’t enter the @ symbol, the anchor text will simply display as normal. For a live example, see the first comment below.
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.
