The wordPress plugin CommentLUV is now installed for an undisclosed testing period.

You will get a link to your website using a keyword that you select by leaving comments on this Blog.

Normally when you leave a comment on a site they ask you for your name, email address and website url. This Blog will keep doing the same thing, however you can choose the keywork or phrase that you want to use by putting it in the name box.

Let’s say your name is Gertrude Blatz and you have a website named LadiesHouseholdFurnishingsAndClothing dot com. Normally you would put “Gertrude” or “Gertrude Blatz” in the name box.

Now let’s say you want to become known as a specialist in and to get high rankings for the keyword phrase “leather pocketbooks.”

Now instead of putting your name in the name box use the keyword phrase “leather pocketbooks.” That way when a reader finds your comment of interest and wants to see what type of a website you have they will click on the keyword phrase to go to your website and you just received a free vote in ranking.

Here’s the deal. This is an experiment and I might pull it at any time for any reason, but you can be sure that if you intend to spam or scam this generous offer I will wish a POX upon you and all of your goats.

Keep the comments relative to the subject, make them interesting and helpful and you will gain great benefits. No one likes negativity so keep it upbeat.

Thank you Gertrude for letting me use you as an example.

Normally when you leave a comment on a Blog they ask you for your name, your email address (never shared…) and your website url. Then you write your message and hit “Post Comment.”

Regardless of whether or not the Blog uses the no-follow or the do-follow command you will get a link to your website, but the keyword used is your name. That is not what you want to do. You want the link to have some meaning in order to gain some additional ranking.

If all goes well and the Blog allows comments as entered, that is all you have to do. Some Blogs, certainly not all, and probably not even a high percentage of Blogs, allow you to use a minimal amount of HTML code in your comment.

These codes are good for emphasis, italics, bold, etc. Then there is the Link Code.

This instruction is similar in nature to the one I posted about How to Make a 125X125 Banner Ad

Now these are very simple procedures to anyone who has even a rudimentary knowledge of HTML, but these little details I had to learn by trial and error. Programming does not come easy to me, as a matter of fact, I STILL hate programming.

However… Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. So I learned how to do this and I want to share it with you in case it might help you to understand this magic a little better too.

So as you are surfing and find a Blog that you feel you can make a contribution to the discussion on, here is a way to add a link within the content of the comment message. Mind you not all Blogs will let you do this. Some just will not accept it and some await moderation and then you get the heave ho.

So what I like to do is look at some of the other comments on each Blog and see if anyone else has posted any HTML links. If they did, then chances are yours will work too.

Here is the simple code with some various examples:

First the href command instructs which website url to go to, then the second part describes the words the viewer sees in the link.

<a href=”http://linkmoney.org”>LinkMoney.org</a> LinkMoney.org (This one will take you to this website and the keyword that the viewer will see is “LinkMoney.org”.)

Now if you want to use some keywords that you are trying to rank for, then you can change the last part of the line to something like this: <a href=”http://linkmoney.org”>Link Money</a> Link Money (Now what the viewer sees is just the two words “Link Money”.) This also happens to be a keyword phrase that I like to see advancing in the serps ranking.

Here is another case, of one that I use for a client:

<a href=”http://edgecustom.com”>Handgun Hunting Holster</a> EdgeCustom.com

But my friend Dan wants to become ranked for the keywords “Handgun Hunting Holster” so all I have to do is change the code to: <a href=”http://edgecustom.com”>Handgun Hunting Holster</a> Handgun Hunting Holster

This way any time someone clicks on the link keywords, that is the phrase that the search engines rank you on.

Another of my friends, Ol’ Squeeze at Hunting With a Handgun said he did not want to be left out of this Blog post, so here ya go Squeeze.

Whatever you do, please use this with care and only make a comment that is relative to the discussion. If you just say some crap like Nice Post, thanks, well then you will get the toss. Some people get really really pissed at others trying to take advantage of their hard work and good reputation.

Keep it relative.

Try it out. Soon you’ll be wearing diamonds in your naval.
