For those of you who don’t already know, CommentLuv is a great little Wordpress/Blogger plugin that will give your readers incentive to keep coming back and to stay active within your website. Basically, CommentLuv creates a backlink to the commentors latest blog post when they leave a comment. Not only are they contributing to your website by adding discussion and feedback, they are also contributing their own website by creating useful backlinks for their website. You can read more about CommentLuv here.
There is a great little trick you can use with Google to seek out any and all websites that have this great plugin installed. Basically you just go to Google and type a few keywords relating to your website and add with quotation marks the phrase “enable CommentLuv.” This is because each blog, that has the ComLuv plugin installed, has a check box under the comment field to choose whether or not you want to enable ComLuv on your comment. The checkbox is always followed by the phrase “enable CommentLuv.” Essentially, by searching google with this phrase in quotation marks you are going to see only blogs with ComLuv on the results page.
Now that you have a listing of blogs with ComLuv installed, simply go through each result one by one leaving your name, e-mail, URL and comment making sure to always check the CommentLuv box so your latest blog post will be linked in your comment.
You can automate this process, at least slightly, by installing a firefox plugin called Auto Fill Forms which can be found here. After you have installed Auto Fill Forms make sure to click the pencil icon next to your address bar and click “settings.” In the settings window add your name under the “(Full) name” field. Other than that all you need to fill out under the “simple” tab is your e-mail address. Now go to the “main” tab. We are going to create a new field to input your web address. Under the Name field put “Website” and for Value put your website address, for Field rule put “(?:prefix\w*name)|(?:name\w*prefix)(?:website)” without the quotation marks. That’s it, you are now set to start finding your related blogs.
The steps for posting a comment remain the same, except now as soon as you load the blog post that you are commenting on, all you have to do is hit the pencil icon to fill in the first 3 fields automatically.
Below, I have included a video to show you exactly how to do this. Please feel free to leave a comment if any of this doesn’t make sense and I will try and field your question. Thanks!

UPDATE 7/28/09
RJ from http://plrnichecontent.com brought up some great additions for CommentLuv backlinks and I thought I would share them with all of you.
Firstly, RJ suggests Roboform as an alternative to Auto Fill Forms. He also uses InFormEnter in conjunction with Roboform to maximize his results. RJ also suggests setting up a Google Alert with the search text so that blogs with CommentLuv enabled and your keywords will be mailed right to your inbox! Simply set an alert with the following as the keyword: “Enable CommentLuv”+”your keyword term(s) here” This way, Google will do all the grunt work for you while you sit back and watch the results come pouring in!

You can do it Jared, I believe in you!
Sue´s last blog ..CommentLuv Backlinks
I’ve never heard of this Firefox addon before, but it looks like it’d be a suitable alternative to Roboform. Also, there’s another Firefox addon that fills forms:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/673
This isn’t a one-click form filler, but you just set your inputs (name, URL, email, etc) and when enabled, you click on the blue arrow & choose what you want filled in. I used it alongside Roboform sometimes.
Also, a tip to automate your searches for CommentLuv-enabled blogs: signup for a Google alert for the phrase, “Enable CommentLuv” and append your keyword topic to the end. For instance, if you’re looking for blogs about internet marketing with CommentLuv enabled, you can set a Google alert for:
“Enable CommentLuv”+”internet marketing”
And so forth. It works very, very well, and you don’t have to continually search for suitable blogs — the URLs are delivered to your inbox as they’re discovered.
Also — your message box (this textarea field) didn’t resize or scroll when I was using Firefox — I could only see about 5 lines of my post. Maybe you could look into that — I switched over to Chrome as it allows you to expand textareas regardless of the CSS style.

RJ, Thank you for the generous tips! I am always looking for great ways to inrease the effectiveness of my Search Engine Optimization. I am revising the post with your additions and will be sure to set up a pingback for you for your time! Thanks again!
RJ, I would like to also thank you for pointing out the scrolling issue in the comment field. I have now replaced the primitive old comment field with a rich text comment field
Very help article.. Thanks for posting
Glad you found it helpful. The Google Alert thing has really helped me out.
One more thing, though — you can create a Google Alert for “Enable CommentLuv” (or, based on what I see on your blog, “CommentLuv Enabled”), but you’ll get a lot of ‘useless’ alerts. A lot of blogs like to point out the benefits of searching for the phrase “Enable CommentLuv”, but they don’t actually have the plugin installed. I guess you could call them false positives, but if you don’t mind spending the extra time checking out all the result, you could create an alert for the ‘enable’ phrase without the keyword qualifiers to get an assortment of potential backlink locations.
great site great info will return
Good Article, I have never heard of the Firefox Plugin….not sure if I am going to use it or not, but it’s pretty cool.

cool read
ohh
That’s a great idea with the auto-fill form. I enjoy reading and commenting on blogs… and to be completely honest, alot of the reason why I take the time to do it is for the exposure, but it’s kind of a pain in the butt to have to keep typing the same thing in those 3 fields above everytime I want to make a comment (though I do it anyways).
Anyhow, thank you for the great tip! Looking forward to using this firefox plugin.

I have gotten into the “Do Follow” or “No Follow Free” movement, I didn’t even know that links in comments were not followed by the bots! Now I do, and I did something about it! I have tried many plugins one one of my site for making the comment experience better for my visitors, some have worked, some haven’t, but you can rest assured, I have tried most, if not all of them!

Keywordluv is great for backlinks. Just find blogs with it and almost all are dofollow.
Commentluv and Keywordluv are a nice way to add content, searches and visitors to a blog. The last technologies are mainly oriented to the blog marketing, so it seems that this marketing is the way to go.
Hello, Very nice article thanks.
good luck, let us know how it goes x
I have used it since it came out, what a cool plugin!!!
