I have just installed the CommentLuv and Lucia’s Linky Love plugins to my blog.

CommentLuv is a great plugin that rewards my commenters by parsing their last (or selected) blog post to the bottom of their comment.  Excellent!

Linky Love rewards the commenter with a share of page rank after three approved blog comments by converting the comment links to “dofollow”.  Fantastic!

There are loads of options with each plugin to suit your needs.

A quick tip if you are using Feedburner and commenting on blogs with Commentluv installed, go to your Feedburner settings, under the Feedburner Stats Pro option, uncheck the Item link clicks box, this will limit your ability to see how many clicks your feed generated but this will direct the parsed rss comment to be linked directly to your blog instead of via Feedburner, thus giving you the link luv instead of Feedburner getting it.

Now get commenting…

To kick things off, how about answering this question, what one wordpress plugin do you love the most and why?

I would like as many people as possible to comment as I have some great ideas for the answers I receive…

…Think re-brandable ebook, and each commenter will get a copy!

Until next time…

You've been here before, I like you. Enjoyed this post? Bookmark it using the link above. If you make some comments, I share the link luv. You can even add your Twitter username to your comments, try it out! Thanks for visiting again!

Something huge happened in the internet world this week and you need to know about it.

This week marked a new change in Google Adwords which will be great news to all of us.

Google have actually done something that they said they would never do and it probably spells the end for services like Wordtracker.

Here’s a brief overview…

If you have ever used Google Adwords you will know that they always represented search volume for a keyword with a green bar graph.

Earlier this week they did away with that and started to to show the actual search volume for keywords.

Wordtracker keyword volumes have sometimes been accused of being inaccurate because they make predictions from only 2% – 3% of actual search activity.

Now that Google has made this change, you will be able to get a much more accurate search volume.

Go try it out at

Enter a keyword and you will see Google’s estimate of actual search volume.

How will this affect your keyword and market research?

Using these much more accurate Google search volumes you can be much more certain of the size of a niche.
