Commenting on other’s blogs can give you a nice exposure and help increase your traffic.
But not all comments are made equals. If you comment on a food/recipe blog and you own a personal finance blog, then chances are it won’t give you great results.
Being focused on commenting on other blogs in your niche has better chances to work. But if your comments are useless and look more like spam, they won’t work either.
Internet is all about sharing, giving and receiving. Don’t give only to receive. Give because you are truly generous and somehow, it’s going to come back to you.
But, while you should give without expecting anything in return, this doesn’t forbid you from being a little strategic at the same time. After all, we all have a limited amount of time to devote to blogging and building a community.
CommentLuv is a great wordpress plugin that could help you get interesting results and it can also reward those of your readers who comment on your blog because it gives them the possibility to post a “dofollow” link to one of their recent posts.
So to get a little strategic and efficient and eventually increase your blog traffic, here is a list of personal finance bloggers who reward their readers with “dofollow” links using the CommentLuv plugin :

Hi Allan,
You are right, traffic is the most essential thing when you want to profit on your blog. I have saw and read blog about Commentluv which attract more visitors and commenter (most comment you will receive are from bloggers) actually, I saw your blog using Google which are in page 2 on traffic and that’s it. This only means that commentluv really attract comments.
Also, it will bring more targeted audience to your blog because it usually crawled by Google.
Cheers!

Hi Chris,
I’m glad to know that my blog is on page two with that post. Thanks for letting me know.
It’s true that traffic matters a lot if you intend to profit from your blog with adsense or other pay per click add systems. But some make very good money with low traffic by selling their own products. They favor long-term relationships with their traffic over fast small income from click and go traffic.
I’m far from making a living out of my blog but if I would have to do so, I think I’d be more interested by the second option.
Thanks for passing by

Hi Clarisse,
Thanks for passing by. I can understand that. Our time is limited. We work hard on our blogs. The commentluv plugin helps us have free publicity. But in turn, we have to be respectful of each others. I only write comments if I have read the full article and if at the end I really have something to say.
Thanks for passing by

Suburban Finance
Thanks for the awesome list! I haven’t put CommentLuv in my blog, I think I should do it… When I last checked it, it hadn’t been updated for a long time, so I was worried about the security. I’ve discovered great blogs from it though, great plugin.

This is a really useful list…some blogs I’ve been following already and some others I can’t wait to check out. I’ve recently switched CommentLuv on supersavingtips.com over to “dofollow” and I’d appreciate being considered for your list as well.

Hi Showman,
Thank you for passing by and wish you the best with your niche site about coffee grinders. I found that Commentluv enabled blogs were good to build a community and to let other know what you are writing about. But even though I always, to my own belief, made meaningful comments, someone banned me in Aksimet and flagged me as a spammer. As a result, I can’t comment on most blogs since then. So yeah, the list is great but don’t comment just for the purpose of commenting. It does not provide strong backlinks anyways.
Cheers

Thanks for the list, Allan.
I’ve been experimenting with dofollow links in CommentLuv on my site also. Glad to see that I’m not the only one who thinks there’s an advantage to creating a win-win environment where you as a blogger receive a rich feedback look from your readers, and your readers get some extra SEO love via the CommentLuv plugin and dofollow links.

I have read your Blog…I found your blog very interesting and I enjoyed reading all of it..must say..Traffic plays very important role to enhance the value of your Blog..and absolutely “CommentLuv” plugin is very attractive which attract so many visitors and viewers. Btw you people have shared great information with us..thanks for sharing!!
Douglas Goldstein
I completely agree with you. While commenting, we should keep in mind that the blog should be relevant to our business.
Commenting in some off topic blogs, does not help in bringing traffic which results in zero % benefit.
Commenting on high traffic blog which are on same niche as yours help to get traffic easily.
And commentluv actually helps in bringing traffic and it raise our blog level more high. I also love to comment through commentluv plugin, and I am completely satisfied with its results.
