I know most bloggers are fans of the popular commentluv plugin. I am one of them. In fact, it’s the most favorite plugin I have right now and I have no plans to get rid of it. Commentluv has done so much in taking my blog to where it is today barely after 5 months. But there is a problem! Just read on as I show you what that is and how to salvage it.
CommentLuv attracts comments from visitors that are link-hungry. One of the reasons readers leave comments on your blog is to create links back to their blogs as this is an important factor in their off-page SEO strategies. While this plugin attracts comments giving you a more solid social proof, it also attracts SEO dangers that must be taken care of.
CommentLuv Plugin creates external links
To reward commentators, commentluv creates a link back to their sites following the approval of their comments. While you have full control over the links on your own site (internal links), you don’t have any control over the sites that you are linking to through this plugin.
Over time these websites may shut down or their URL structure may change without redirects being implemented resulting in a 404 error or broken/dead links. What this means is you are sending visitors to an error page. This has bad effects and can damage the usability of your blog.
Usability is an important factor in search engines algorithm. This enables them send users to sites with valuable contents and user friendliness. As the search engine spiders crawl your site from link to link, if they come across many broken links it raises a red flag.
Blogs with a few broken links may be considered normal by search engines. However, excessive dead links on a website may be suspected of being a low quality website. And this will not escape the careful search engine spiders. Indexing and ranking of your blog are thereby affected.
CommentLuv plugin creates internal links
While replying to comments, this plugin helps you link to other pages on your blog. This internal linking helps readers find more information thereby reducing bounce rate and increasing their time on site.
You may do some updates on your blog and eliminated some pages without redirecting but links to those pages are still floating around on other pages of your blog. This will create internal broken links with negative effect on usability. Like external dead links, internal broken links can’t escape search engine spiders.
CommentLuv plugin dead links Remedy
There are two ways to go about this:
1 – Set commentluv links to nofollow
This is smply done by unchecking the Enable DoFollow checkboxes on your commentluv plugin settings page. When the search engine spider sees nofollow on a link, it does the following:
- Does not follow the link.
- Does not count the link towards it’s popularity score in their ranking engine
- Does not include the link text in the relevancy score for those keywords
2 – Use a broken link checker
I have opted for this option with this broken linking checker. What this does is send me an alert whenever a broken link is detected. So my blog is constantly being kept broken-link free.
If you use commentluv plugin or use any other strategy to link to external or internal resources, it is safer to constantly search and correct dead links before they start transmitting death to your blog.
Commentluv on its own is not the fault. The only concern is we cannot control those sites linked to.
What do you use to handle broken links on your blog? I’d like to hear your thoughts on this in the comment box. Also share this post with friends on social media.
Thank you!

Hello Enstine!
I think every blog should have Broken Link Checker installed at the backend.
But Enstine, in Google Webmaster Support, Google says:
“Generally, 404 errors don’t impact your site’s ranking in Google, and you can safely ignore them. Typically, they are caused by typos, misconfigurations (for example, for links that are automatically generated by a content management system) or by Google’s increased efforts to recognize and crawl links in embedded content such as JavaScript.”
I don’t think they are bad for SEO, but your site’s user experience can diminish!
As far as I remember, this is the first post where I have read something bad about CommentLuv.
But I think bloggers will still use it on their blog because its advantages weighs more than the disadvantages.
With current development in Search Engines and their desire to provide users with quality materials, there is absolutely no way we can close our eyes to dead links. In Google Webmaster tools, you have a facility to check your site for errors including dead links. Google in quality guidelines advises to check broken links and correct html. I think this is quite enough to underline the importance of keeping your blog free of them.
Few broken links on your blog may not be a concern but if your blog has a considerable number of them, then there is no way we can say that will not affect the quality and usability of your blog, Search Engine wise.
I appreciate your comments bro and hope to read more from you

hi Enstine Muki Ya, I turned off the do-follow but I do give the 10-post option for regular commenters. Of course the premium folks get that option automatically.
Well, you are first to bring this issue to people’s attention. I know commentluv blogs get more link due to the fact that people get not 1 but 2 backlinks from it. You’re also leaving a huge footprint which is easy to follow. Hope people will stop spamming after reading your post.

Hey Man,
There is always solution to the problem.
We can remove the comment luv links from admin panel who hurt us a lot. Even we can block the spammers also who mostly comment for only getting links from top bloggers.
Hey bro,
Thanks for the comment. CommentLuv premium offers the best solution (with GASP) to keep spammers away. The main issue is the fact that we cannot control those sites we link to. That’s why I recommend either using nofollow option and /or using a link checker plugin.
I do really appreciate your comment my friend

Interesting thoughts on CommentLuv. As you say, there are some drawbacks like you mention but the benefits outweigh the bad parts of it. Like you say, if you periodically remove broken links and its no problem. Also there are some people who write just for the backlink without reading the article. By the way, have you removed it from your site.
That’s right Shalu! There are more benefits than this setback. that’s why I don’t dream of taking it down.

Hi Enstine,
Good points you’ve noticed and thanks for digging on the areas where most will deny to think about.
To solve the problems you’ve mentioned, I guess making them ‘nofollow’ won’t be much effective. Though the links are nofollowed, Google counts them and accumulates towards the ranking of pages (though the effect is very less compared to the nofollow-free links, it is not completely null).
Rather having a plugin to detect and solve the broken links will be a better solution. I keep watching on those numbers and remove the links if they stay broken for more than 4 or 5 days.
Yes Suresh I think you make a point. Some links stay broken for a short space of time and a constant watch over them is the ideal solution.

Great catch, Enstine. Although I do have a broken link checker on my blog, I really haven’t thought much about those broken links. So this is how they affect the search engine spiders, ranking and all that stuff, huh? I better pay more attention to those broken link alerts from now on.

Work has been keeping me down, yes – online and offline. But in about two weeks’ time, I probably would have more time to hop from one blog to the next. Well, hopefully.
Even if one is not using commentluv there is creation of backlinks and those links in time may lead to non existent pages, not a valid point against commentluv
You can’t deny the fact that this plugin links your site to many external sites you can’t control. It’s not really about backlinks to your blog. It’s about links from your blog to other sites and more of these are done through CL.
It’s a great plugin, though like other systems, there are negative effects which are not completely out of control

Due to the spam of leveraging CommentLuv despite GASP Pro and other measures I had to switch to something more efficient and something that integrates better with Social Media, Disqus was my latest comment plugin after using Livefyre for nearly a year before that.

Interesting indeed!
Oh yes…most of us do get a lot of spam comments and most of them come for their backlinks due to CommentLuv, though I marvel at those bloggers who get many more comments without this plugin too. I guess the real test for a blogger would be to not have CommentLuv for a month and see the difference
I am another fan of this awesome plugin and have it on my site ever since it came up, and have seen the interactions just increase with time. But because I moderate each comment personally after I check the commenters blog/site, and about me page – I am extremely careful of approving only the real people and nothing spammy nor any blogs or company links that don’t have the commenters name in it. I guess sometimes you do get caught and in those times you have the option of removing their links or giving them a no-follow option. Otherwise it would be just too mean to have all the post on the post as no-follow
I have a do-follow blog and love giving people their due credit for leaving a comment at my blog, and as you mentioned, I use the Broken Link Checker instead, so that does take care of those issues we might face.
Thanks for sharing this useful information with all of us. Have a nice week ahead

I agree with your words on using broken link checker to keep track of dead/redirected links but I partially agree with the #1 point.
By setting the CL links to nofollow, one can avoid SEO problems but he/she might also lose the loyal commentators who deserve the reward (a dofollow link)
So in my opinion, we should offer enticements to users for getting a dofollow link.

Enstine, I was waiting for someone to come with a post on this plugin and I am glad that you did
Last week, I came across 2-3 blogs that removed the plugin because of the reasons you highlighted. Instantly, the blog comments on these blogs started averaging about 2-3 or 0 comments per post as compared to 15-20 comments per post previously.
This tells me that “reader engagement” is not that solid as it should have been. People are coming on ComLuv enabled blogs, adding a comment and moving on….and the blogger thinks “OMG! My blog is so popular”.
Secondly, if webmasters make the links “no follow”, don’t you think that all efforts of the commentator goes waste? I am assuming that the commentator is adding relevant comment to increase a do-follow back link.
What do you think?

This was excellent, Enstine, as you probably already know. Thank you.
Every blogger should be responsible for checking for broken links no matter where they’re coming from Enstine. That’s just part of blogging.
Unfortunately for me when I was having that issue late last year with CommentLuv it wiped out all my links so I guess you could say it saved me a heck of a lot of time checking those. But, I did find broken links of bloggers who had put their URL into my comment box so it’s not just CommentLuv that can cause a lot of problems later on. I don’t care what type of commenting system you have, when they include their blog link and they abandon it later on, you now have a broken link.
There is no way I’m putting my links for my comments to nofollow. Kind of defeats the purpose of sharing the love.
The broken link checker plug-in is useless on my blog. I’ve tried it several times now and Google webmaster will locate my broken links where this plug-in will say I have none. Go figure.

CommentLuv is just one of the ways we link to other sites and in most commentLuv enable blogs, it’s the most active way that creates those external links.
Link you point out, whatever way we go by, it’s important to constantly check and treat those links.

I’ve been thinking of this same thing for some time now. though my blog has been a dofollow blog for sometime now, I began to have the mind of removing the dofollow when Google introduced the stringent control last year.

Hi Enstine,
I’m not too sure about this approach. I see that Ana Hoffman is writing about this topic too and she removed CommentLuv (temporarily).
I agree with Adrienne that the Broken Link checker stopped working for me a long time ago. Perhaps there is a limit to how many links it can check before it breaks. Ana mentioned that it doesn’t work for her blog either so she uses a different tool.
Personally I don’t have time to check all those links. With over 35,000 comments on my blog I’m sure many of those links are broken but if I had that same number of comments and I wasn’t using CommentLuv I bet the number of broken links would be very close.

Hey Ileane,
Lisa made mention of what Ana wrote and I have to checkout what she wrote.
Some readers have complained that Broken Link Checker slows down their blog. Well maybe that plugin gets out of control when ones blog gets bigger.
Do you get any solution from Google Webmaster ?
(dofollow)
Enstine Muki recently posted..Exact Anchored Text ~ Not A Practical Solution
Enstine, I didn’t look for any solution. To be honest I don’t think it’s a huge problem. IMO, the links inside your blog posts are the ones that harm your blog. I don’t see how Google could hold the comment links against us.
I do like you solution of using NoFollow for links. However, I only do that for some commenters. This is a huge benefit of having CommentLuv Premium. If you moderate your comments as the come in, and mark the ones that look dubious as No Follow, you should be good to go.
On my blog, most of the DoFollow comment links go to guest authors, regular commenters/supporters, and those who leave really exceptional comments. The huge majority of comment links on Basic Blog Tips are marked NoFollow.
Btw – I installed an extension for chrome called Check My Links and I took a look at my posts with the highest number of comments. Only a handful had broken links so I didn’t bother removing them.
When you really think about SEO, technically you should not have more than 100 links on a page anyway. So if you have 500 links on one blog post – I doubt if the search engines will lower your rank if a small percentage of them are broken.
Here’s what you can do. Find the posts on your blog with the highest page rank or you can look at the pages that get the most organic traffic (or both).
(dofollow)
Then use Check My Links and remove links from those posts. This way you can save time and remove the broken link checker plugin.

Hi Enstine,
I agree that everyone should have the Broken Link Checker plugin installed. It’s a great help. I also recently installed the Permalink Finder plugin. It’s too early to know for sure just how effective it is but so far, I can notice that there are already fewer 404 errors on my site (as reported in the Better WP Security log).
As for do-follow, I agree with Ileane that it’s a huge incentive for people to comment. One of the biggest versions of using the premium version of CommentLuv is that we can easily strip the do-follow tag from individual comment. We can also strip the link entirely. I realize that it takes time to monitor comments but the payoff is to have lively discussions and engage with our readers. So far, I’ve been able to manage it and I plan on continuing to run a do-follow, CL enabled blog.
(BTW – great discussion here! I found you on Blog Engage and I’m glad that I did.)

I went and installed that plugin earlier as I said I was going to check it out today. I found a number of dead links. I was surprised at some, as they were on my own site. When I linked it to begin with it was working but when I followed the error I found that in fact it took me to a 404. I always check my links when I link to anything, but I can’t imagine why it no longer worked from one post to the other. But all is fixed and thank you again for the information.

I discovered this do follow problem after Broken Link Checker found some broken links. Even though the do-follow incentive helps to get more comments, it’s not worth the SEO problems.

Commentluv is called commentluv for the very reason that you Dofollow the link of those commenters (you give the love back). I just had a discussion with other bloggers this past Wednesday about this, and they agree that they want their blog to be dofollow, and I’d say that I agree.

Hi Enstine,
Now that’s Mumbo Jumbo post. Enjoyed reading it.
But I’d like to add up that you can actually avoid ‘Over Interlinking’ by moderating and replying the comments through the Comment Moderation Dashboard of your blog other than replying it straight from the posts. It’s a good idea to keep the comments clean.
Have a nice Blogging Week,

Hi. This is a great post and indeed CL has that problem about over time generating broken links. The plugin you suggest is awesome and it works very well. In any event, just wanted to give you the heads up, in case it slipped you by, Andy has just released the CL links cleaner which is highly recommended to “clean up” only commentluv generated links that are broken. Apologies if you have mentioned it already elsewhere.. Just though that this could be a nice “update” to this post

Thanks for this post and some interesting thoughts about commentluv.

As with any commenting system there will always be a need to moderate comments as they come in. This is a manual task and probably will always be and it is down to the blog owner to decide which comments to allow and which to ditch.
Going over old comments to check for bad links and naughty links should be on the moderators task list too.
Thanks again. Excellent post.

Well I am using comment luv for past three months. But I don’t think this is great . While on othere hand if you have huge traffic I wouldn’t recommend using this. First of all today i will set it to nofollow.
Thanks for the tip. Keep up the good work

Enstine I am new at blogging and I was excited to hear about the comment Luv plugin. I am confused now. I guess I will try the plugin and keep an eye out for broken links. Maybe try out the broken link tracker. Good information for a new blogger like me,
