Comment luv: Why are many bloggers disabling it nowadays? Your guess is as good as mine
Comment luv
is mostly a Wordpress premium plugin that handles comments in unique manner in
the comment sections of webmasters blogs/webpages that have them installed.
One of the
unique features of Comment luv is that website visitors that owns their own
blogs/pages, when they visit and drop comments on those other webpages that
have Comment luv installed on them, their last blog post links are often left
behind on the visited pages.
Ever since
the reign of Comment luv, webmasters across the internet have tapped into this
unique feature of it in building simple and quality back-links to their
webpages from those other higher page ranked web pages that installed the
Comment luv plugin.
But today,
the tide is quickly changing and many bloggers that have embraced it in the
past and have them installed on their pages are now either disabling the unique
feature of comment luv as described above or uninstalling comment luv entirely
and opting for another commenting system.

Now the big
question is this; why are some bloggers
now disabling or uninstalling their comment luv? I guess your answer might
be good as mine.
Many
bloggers that you see today disabling comment luv from their blogs have mainly
two things in mind;
1. To sanitize the comment sections of
their blogs in order to add more realistic values to that section.
2. The fear of having their blog/pages being seen as link farms for building spammy links and in order not to get penalized by the big internet movers like Google.
With those
two things mostly on their minds, I have noticed that many blogs that I visit
these days that have previously installed Comment luv are either disabling the
unique feature or uninstalling them entirely, and opting for another commenting
system.
The actions
of disabling Comment luv can be in line with the known fact today, that in the
quest of building backlinks by many webmasters, Comment luv enabled blogs/pages
have been on the target. And this whole targeting on solely for building
back-links has led in the decline of true values of comments left behind by
those blog visitors that are also blog owners.
For visitors
now only tend to leave comments on their targeted pages just because they want
to drop their blog links and no longer because they want to partake and
contribute meaningfully in the writers article.
Now coming
down to the fear of being penalized by the big internet movers like Google, the
comment sections of every webpages are truly very sensitive areas, mostly
because of the kind of activities that take place there.
Some
mischievous bloggers, all in the name of commenting, could decide to leave
malicious links behind that might not augur well for the host blog, and this in
turn could no doubt attract Google sledge hammer on the host blog, maybe by
referring to those blog/pages as aiding in building and polarizing spammy links
all over the internet. And if that eventually happens, the host blogger pages
might end up getting de-indexed or have their pages sunk deep down search
engine result pages.

Playing the
prophetic role now, with the whole issue surrounding comment luv, I predict

Very salient point have been made in this post. One of the points that should not be swept under the carpet is that most people are disabling the Comment Luv plugin from their comment section just to prevent their site being turn into "link farm".
ReplyDeleteWe all know how Google comes down heavily on blogs or websites suspected to be building bad links through link farm.
I agree that many bloggers would still do away with Comment Luv but not all the users today would be penalized as long as they stick with Google's rule!
