Blog Comments - Plugins That Will Increase Participation And Control Spam




Increase Blog Comments


It's Getting Tougher And Tougher
To Get Comments On Blogs Partly
Due To The Focus On Social Media
So Put These Plugins To Use Now


There are over 10,000 free plugins available for WordPress blogs, and the number keeps increasing at a rapid pace.

These plugins are extremely valuable, because they enable you to customize your blog to suit your particular needs.

Here are a couple of plugins I use that have been recently updated and I have found to be particularly valuable:

CommentLuv


This plugin will encourage readers to make comments on your blog.

Its outstanding feature is that it enables a hyperrlinked backlink to the commenter's latest blog post!

CommentLuv

Block-Spam-By-Math-Reloaded


Unfortunately in the real world we serious bloggers get a lot of comment spam.

Most of the comment spam, by the way, is automated through spam bots, so humans are not even involved.

This plugin asks the commenter to answer a simple math question (that varies), and is extremely effective at cutting out spam.

Subscribe To Comments


Very valuable plugin, which enable a commenter to be notified by email when there are additional comments on the same blog post.

This feature is purely voluntary.

It's hard to say if Robert A. Kearse's resume is typical of the average Internet marketer, but his experience includes work as a:
• Reading Specialist

• Financial Consultant
• Internet Marketer
• Elementary And Middle School Teacher
The above are not listed in chronological order.
The most valuable stretch (13 years) was spent as a financial consultant on Wall Street and in the New York investment community.
The current period finds the author in an uneasy co-existence as Internet marketer and professional poker player (22 years).

  1. When we do a lot of blogging work, it is impossible for us to satisfy our work without using plugins. There a lot of plugins to use from and it is important for us to know their different uses.

  2. How about using commentluv plug-in then erasing the akismet plug-in that is annoyingly making good comments as spam. This is a problem most bloggers are having these days.

      I agree Akismet is not perfect,but what is??

      Akismet has correctly identified some comments as spam that I did
      not realize were spam. There is some widespread efforts to make
      blog comments with intentional misspellings, and I at first thought
      that the errors were innocent.

      Akismet, by the way, does get smarter as you give it guidance by
      identifying spam that slips through and reversing wrongly labled
      comments.

      Best of luck in your efforts.
