Top Commenters

I’ve just added a top commenters plugin to this blog, to encourage more comments.  The top commenters will receive a link back to their blog from VinnyLingham.com with their names (my homepage is a PageRank 6), and I have removed NoFollow tags across the entire blog, so you will get linking credit for it!  Happy commenting (and again, please add value in your comments, and don’t try to spam the system)!

    Very well done. The “Top commenters” is a very useful plugin, and it really brings a lot of new commenters – and visitors – to the blog.

    Did this really increase the number of comments on your blog? I did not try it until now, because I’m not convinced it makes people comment more. Or does it?

  14. Vinny Lingham Says:
    March 29, 2007 at 5:37 pm

    Actually – it appears that it does. Also, Chris – the URL is triggered by the URL you first used when you posted a comment. I can change it for you.

  15. Runa Says:
    March 29, 2007 at 6:05 pm

    @Vinny: I agree with you.

    I saw the same effect on some italian-language blogs I normally read which installed the plugin.

    Hi Vinny,

    I was just searching for information on this ‘top commenters’ plugin when I found your blog. (So it does work!)

    I think it’s a great idea, making it a little easier for bloggers to build a network in their subject field, providing useful feedback for fellow bloggers whilst getting some credit for this. These days it seems you have to be a problogger or paying, to be listed in blogrolls, and nofollow links does not make linkbuilding and promotion any easier.

    Good move,

    Michelle.

    Yeah, I know. It wasn’t working properly! I’ll try to find the latest version, but I remove it for now. All comments still have the no-follow tag removed, so people will still get link credit.

  30. Vinny Lingham Says:
    July 20, 2007 at 5:59 pm

    I actually removed it because people were making short and meaningless comments in order to get ranked :-)

    Where did you find the plugin? It looks like you’ve removed it all together – did the meaningless comments outweigh the extra participation?

    Tier 8 refers to a set of class gear that is acquired from the bosses of Ulduar. These sets are meant to be the

    second tier of raid gear for Wrath of the Lich King. Each set also has a 10-man and a 25- man version,

    Valorous and Conqueror respectively. Both 10-man and 25-man versions have different color schemes. Set

    bonuses are also shared among both sets. But it's hard for a normal player to get the dream T8 for his lovely

    character. How to get it? Wowgoldgate will help you. We have the best player raid for you and will get your

    dream T8 gear in a scheduled date. Any doubt? Go to <a href=' http://www.wowgoldgate.com'&gt;tier 8 power

    leveling, you will your answer!

    I have to say that it’s a shame there are so many ’spam’ type comments here – such as hip hop and blog tips. Does having these plug ins and allowing spammy comments out weigh the benefits? BTW thanks for spreading the ‘link juice’
