One of the most unique plugins in the history of WordPress, the CommentLuv Premium plugin provides a simple way to increase comments, and social sharing of your blog posts, plus other great features included in the CommentLuv Premium version.

I’ve been using the free version of CommentLuv plugin on my blogs for more than three years since I first started blogging. I remember that I’ve published a lot of posts about the plugin in the past, but I haven’t done a review post for it, so here is my review of the awesome CommentLuv Premium.

What is CommentLuv Premium

CommentLuv is a unique piece of code developed for the WordPress CMS that gives you the ability as a blog owner to award your visitors by allowing them to leave a comment to their own recent blog posts, so basically this was the main idea of the plugin.

But Andy -the founder and developer of the CommentLuv- realized the power of social media and added cool new feature to CommentLuv, this actually leaded to a brand new premium version of the plugin.

So, now that you’ve enabled CommentLuv Premium on your blog, you will be able to benefit by doing some easy social media marketing. Well, actually you won’t be doing anything, but your blog readers and visitor will do!

They will find your CommentLuv Blog!

It’s pretty easy, you just need to install and configure the plugin, and …wait! Don’t even bother to call your friends or scream loud asking your people to comment on your amazing and informative blog posts, all what you have to do it to wait!

How they will find you? They will search trying to find CommentLuv enabled blogs.

So yes, they will find you, they will comment on your blog, and they will probably share your post to unlock the RSS feed menu so they can pick a link to one of their recent blog posts.

This makes the CommentLuv Premium social, and really smart plugin!

Hit many birds with only one CommentLuv plugin!

CommentLuv Premium is not really one plugin, however you can consider it one plugin, but in fact; it’s a set of useful plugins combined into one!

Here are the main parts :

CommentLuv

CommentLuv will automatically add the users last blog post to the end of the comment that they make on your site provided that they include their URL and it has a feed available. It can also show information about each link left when a user hovers their mouse over the link.

TwitterLink

TwitterLink comments will add an extra field to your comment form to allow your visitors to add their twitter username along with their comment. The TwitterLink used to be a stand alone plugin, but it’s included now in the CommentLuv Premium.

GASP

GASP is extremely effective at combatting spambots and trackback spam.

SpamBots trawl websites and leave automated spam messages within comments. Because they are bots, it is unusual for them to be able to view things that are generated with javascript. This plugin will use javascript to generate a checkbox on your comment form asking people to click it before allowing their comment to be accepted and should eliminate 99% of bot generated spam, that’s another cool addition to the CommentLuv Premium, once you install it, you’ve got a pretty awesome spam fighter.

Keyword Name

Keyword Name provides similar functions to the popular KeywordLuv plugin but does it in a way that keeps the name of comment author “clean” by storing the keywords separately to the name in the database.

I am just trying out the free version at the moment. I wanted to see what the premium version offers over the free version. After a bit of searching I found your review which is very good at listing all the features.
Cyracks says:

Great review on comment luv, the best plugin i ever had. It encourages visitors to drop comments on your blog.

Hey Hesham! Thanks for the helpful review about the Premium version. Recently started with free but you've given some good points about why upgrading can only be of benefit. thanks again! Lisa
Justin Musiker says:

Hi Hesham, Great review of CommentLuv. I just wrote one myself. I only have good things to say about it. Nothing negative about this plugin at all. And I got it when it was on special, best deal ever. And I haven't had any spam yet.
Jeff Paul says:

Hi! First of all thanks for the review. I'm still thinking whether I should go premium or settle for the free one. By the way can I do nofollow links on the Free version?
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  Yes.
Brad Dalton says:

This plugin is a great idea but do they offer an aff program for the premium version?
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  Hi Brad, Yes they do have an affiliate program, just visit their page to find out more!
Gareth Morgan says:

The free version was great but upgrading to CommentLuv Premium was a must for me. I now get far more traffic and comments on my site and product sales have increased. Recommended for newbies and experts alike.

Raaj Trambadia says:

Hey Hesham! I just wanted to know that it's been about a week since I installed CommentLuv+ on my site(s)...but yet when I go to the CommentLuv search engine, nothing from my site shows up! Even when I type the website with a (.com), nothing comes up! What could be the problem?
Samuel says:

CommentLuv is really great. I still don't have the premium version, but that is Ok since I need to have the "respective" amount produced from my blog. I totally want to say for the beginners to install CommentLuv on your blog which will encourage visitors to comment.
Emre Ilkme says:

The people are comments to the blogs, sits or etc. tools are used for the commenting for increased the ranked. I like the commentluv there is so interesting points the all of the commenter are comments for old version of commentluv and it really works well.
Crescent says:

And here I thought I knew everything about commentluv...I hate being wrong. Side note, nice use of rich text snippets, I still haven't really gotten them down yet but google seems to know that this is a review.
Indra says:

CommentLuv type of blogs are just awesome, it gives you information as well as backlinks..
Reece says:

This sounds great, cant believe i havent come across this before! I think ill give the 30 day trial a whirl :)
vinod says:

I have found your blog interesting.
Sean Nicholson says:

Ok...I'm sold. I've been on the fence about upgrading for a couple of months now, but I think I have my blog traffic at a good plateau and I can upgrade to CL premium and see whether it actually drives additional traffic. Thanks for your opinion and helping make the decision. --Sean
jack says:

Comment luv also increase your traffic. I don't know why this great thing happening but it really works :)
waqas says:

Comments Love plugin for ther bloggers is so nice thing to have, because it provides traffic when you leave a comment on someone’s blog, but it also adds to the use of SEO, i will try this plugin soon.
- Tushar says:
  
  Not just SEO but also it decreases the bounce rate.
trung tran says:

I’m about to start using the ordinary CommentLuv plugin on my own blog. I think anything than can motivate people to write meaningful comments on my blog is going to help. $67 is not that much money, but have you seen significant results from the Premium CommentLuv plugin?
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  Getting comments on your blog basically depends on your niche and audiences, and in particular the way you write! So, you don't expect much if you don't have great conversationally content that teas reader to put their input, then you take it from there and start engaging with them, make relationship and try to make them coming back to your blog to read some more exciting and informative content, simply because they will remember you, and remember you blog! Plugins doesn't do that! Plugins are tools that make things more easier, add functionality, and probably give some kind of award that make your blog readers comment on your blog! The premium plugin simply increase your social sharing, plus two main other things that I see, it include other useful plugins and high class support! Finally, it's all up to you, try the free version, then see by yourself if it's working for your blog or not, then think of getting a premium version based on your own experience! It's really simple!
Troy Jaggard says:

I just installed this plugin on my WordPress blog. Once installed, are there any other tools you would suggest to let users know that I am now using CommentLuv?
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  mmm... well.. don't worry about that, they will find you!
Tammy says:

There were a few "word of mouths" regarding Commentluv lately, but I still find it a great method to comunicate with relevant people, that are interested in the content of your blog niche. I have a strong feeling that CL is going to last and develope throughout the next years.
John says:

I've been using the commentLuv free version on my site and really love it. I'd like to go to the premium version in the future but right now i'm just trying to get it to the level where it's making some money first. But overall commentLuv is a great plug in for comments.
Rob says:

The premium version is well worth purchasing. It really is a great tool.
Tushar says:

As you are using premium commentluv plugin then why still all comments are nofolow? I cant understand. Then what is the use of premium?
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  I am controlling in what condition I should remove the dofollow, that's a premium!
  - Rajesh says:
    
    Means if I liked your post while commenting then my link will dofollow?
    - Hesham Zebida says:
      
      That is correct!
      - Tushar says:
        
        Ohh .. That the logic . :) I understand.. But how people can understand this ? I mean you will not get that much like unless you post this logic.
Dan Brusca says:

Well you're certainly right that we'll find you! A Google search for "commentluv premium" is exactly how I found this post. One word of warning to your readers though - don't go out and immediately blast any more than 10 blogs with your comments, or you may fall foul to the Akismet plugin which looks out for commenting frequency!
Ashok says:

It is an excellent review that helped me make up my mind to buy CommentLuv Premium for my site. I have installed CommentLuv for giving benefit of Dofollow link to my visitors and it is really beneficial for the site. Thanks for the review.
Lowela says:

Commentluv enable us to promote traffic on our blogs and site and at the same time they are really promising for earning huge amount. In such a way you'll be able to manage your time and as well as your working time and at the same time you get to learn from your work. Learning while earning money is pretty real thing. :)
Graham says:

The premium version does have benefits, one of the best is being able to mark posts / pages as favourites, and you always get to choose one of these favourite items to back link..
Paul says:

I just picked up the premium version, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of results I get. Good stuff :)
ellie says:

Comment Luv is definitely the way to go. It has brought me tons of additional traffic. ellie
J Campos says:

Thanks Hesham, This plugin it is really a great help for traffic increase. I think that the beneffits are more important than the spam fear that everyones fears about. Cheers, JC
Jo Harrison says:

I've just included a link to this post in my most recent blog post... :)
Rory says:

Thanks Hesham, I had been looking for a good review of Comment Luv to understand all the benefits, it definitely sounds like a worthwhile addition to any website. Thanks.
Michael says:

Greetings! Would you be so kind as to share which plugin you use to generate the shaded box and star rating section at the beginning your article? Thank You! Michael
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  Hi Michael , Actually it's a new plugin in development, I will release it as soon as I can, but it will work under Thesis Theme only!
- Michael says:
  
  Wow - Fast response!!! Thank You! Under Thesis you say? I use Thesis and on most of my sites and it's a first class platform. Do you have an update email list for the plugin's release notification? Michael
  - Hesham Zebida says:
    
    I think the plugin will be released in ThesisAwesome.com , but I will probably send an update here on the blog too, so maybe you can subscribe to the news letter, there is a form on the sidebar. Thanks
Preston Livingston says:

I have heard a lot of good things about CommentLuv and I remember in the first few days of its launch there was a similar offer where I think it was available for below $50. But I still believe that this is an investment worth considering for bloggers who have an audience already, rather than newbies who are still struggling for traffic and not getting enough funds from their websites.
Abel Pardo says:

I'm just now trying comment systems and I guess Commentluv is one of the best. It's easy and one of the best for engaging visitors. Merry Christmas!!!
Kashish Jain says:

The premium version is too good and am really into buying this but the price is high on my budget.. I guess I would have to wait for it then..
Dee at Home says:

I have to admit I don't have comments at all.. gasp! I'm growing my community and interaction on Twitter but have seriously considered that I need to allow comments on my site. I guess one of my concerns is that since this is a new baby site, I won't have many comments and it will look lame. Do you think Twitter is enough or should I incorporate blog commenting? dee
- Hesham Zebida says:
  
  Hey Dee, Blog comments is the best indication that you have an active blog, it may take some times, but visiting other blogs and engaging with them will speed it up! Glad to see you hear :)
Alex says:

You should buy it, Raj. i've been using it and the result is much better than i expected, more visitors come to my website and i can manage the linkjuice from my website by dicide which link is noffolow and which is follow. It has some other great features that you've got to see yourself.
Edward Culligan says:

I finally bought the premium version and it really is as great as Andy promotes it. Everyone who needs SEO should buy it. Great Post.
Rizwan Sultan says:

I have reviewd this premium plugin. it is going well. If i want more traffic, more comments and eventually more advertisers spam with it, what i have to do? please let me know.
Nikhil Banerjee says:

I am using the free version of comment luv plugin on my blog, and I love it! It is really helpful for everybody else on the blogosphere while also creating social buzz and increasing interaction with my readers. I am new to the blogging community, but will surely consider buying the premium version of the plugin as it really has some great functionality!
Richard says:

I am very happy with its free version, its really very good to use this plugin. actually they are the people for which wordpress can achieve to satay at there position from past to present and i know wordpress will be the best choice for blogging at future also if they can keep providing such a useful plugin like commentluv
Assaf says:

The social sharing incentive is really a smart move with this plugin. Good posts will go viral on the web. It is like a snowball that gets bigger and bigger with every comment that is added.
Roy says:

Including GASP makes sense as it's excellent at blocking (rather than filtering) comment spam and combining with Twitterlink and Keyword Name means less plugins in total - although they keep the same functionality I suspect that the load on your server is reduced by having all these functions integrated in a single plugin/set of calls. Can't justify it on price at the moment but hopefully in the new year!
Drewry says:

comment Luv plug-in for WordPress blogs & bloggers is definitely a good thing to have, because it provides not only traffic back to that specifically post once you leave a comment on someone's blog, but it also adds to the benefit of "better search engine optimization". when I checked my administrative dashboard for link backs and to "validate link backs", it always shows me the WordPress blog that link back to specific posts on my site from the "comment love plug-in for WordPress", which is also a good thing for "increasing deep inbound links"! :-)
Mika Castro says:

Hi there. I am using the olde version of commentluv and it really works well for me. However, i wonder why the premium ones cannot be for free and release the keywords for website owners and as well for commenter.
Oyedepo John says:

I really appreciate this review post. I have been using CommentLuv for so long but of recent, I came across this blog and I saw the premium functions and it 'wowed' me. It is really a nice way of getting comments and at the same time, having your commenters promote your blog posts. I will be going for the premium very soon.
- Erich says:
  
  Hi, Oyedepo John. I share the same sentiments, too. I'm currently officially envious of those who use the premium version and would love to be one of them soon. For now, owing to budget constraints, I'll have to make do with the lite/free version.
Azhar says:

I have not seen a plug-in about that I can say all in one. comment Luv Premium have amazing performance.
Raj says:

I have been using the free version for sometime on my personal blog and I like it very much. But I am still on the edge when it comes to deciding on the comment love premium version. I know the price is not huge... Maybe someday I might decide to go for it.
