#B2CTweet Chatting About Commenting --------------- Featuring: ---------------  JVZoo specialSee why so many thousands of sites have this plugin installed Reward your readers and have fine grain control over dofollow, keywords in ... --------------- Your Hosts --------------- --------------- The Chat: --------------- Welcome to another Chat, at our normal 3pm EDT slot every Wednesday. Today we are talking about blog commenting. Q: That Tweet button under the comments - is that part of CL Premium? Good deal Are you using CommentLuv on any of your blogs now? If you mean the Twitter, Google+ and Facebook sharing incentives? Those are part of CommentLuv Premium Yes. Using the free version and have been for a while. I wanted to see the difference. Yeah, that's what I was talking about. That's a pretty cool feature Yes it is and one of the major reasons to use CommentLuv Premium but there are many others Hi Deb We KNOW from experience there ARE lurkers out there. We encourage you to interact. Just click reply & say hi I don't really expect them to, but I'm hoping eventually they will Donna probably left her vampire teeth at home Hey . I'm checking the chat out and it seems cool! If you buy the premium version can you use it on multiple domains? Before we get started I want to say that blog commenting is NOT about links! Welcome Saleem Glad to have you Thanks for the chat earlier Gail I use comments as part of my traffic strategies for clients, the days of using them for links are long gone! Any time And that you're here is an added bonus. :-)
Q1 Why Is Blog Commenting So Important? lol I had to go read to figure out what vampire teeth.. :) RT : Vampire teeth?! LOL Andy moved that page that explained that, but yes version of CommentLuv Premium we have you can use on ALL blogs That is interesting. re: "the days of using them for links are gone!" Would love to hear your thoughts. A1 - get to interact with other great bloggers
Personal version you can use on any blog you control Developer version you can install on ANY blog RT : Q1 Why Is Blog Commenting So Important? RT : Q1 Why Is Blog Commenting So Important? Many thought commenting was ONLY about links From the start it was never about that although that WAS a benefit Welcome Mindy And you're exactly right - commenting is about building relationships! A1 Shows that the blog is alive, interactive, and encourages engagement. A1 - You get to add value to the conversation - agree with or expand on the the blog content Auto approve comments, un-moderated crap does more harm than good for rankings RT : A1 - get to interact with other great bloggers
Thanks for the welcome, Gail! Glad to be here! :) Every blogger wants to know SOMEONE is reading what they write. Commenting encourages them to keep working and to care about you. You mean with all the spam comments? RT : A1 Shows that the blog is alive, interactive, and encourages engagement. - Yep all the spam. Can CommentLuv help to avoid that? Absolutely, Mindy There is often more super advice in comments than in the posts! I agree, Mindy. I like that part, interacting w/other bloggers. I just wish there were more hrs in the day to do it! All quality blogs moderate comments heavily Even with GASP we have to delete manually left spam RT : Every blogger wants to know SOMEONE is reading. Commenting encourages them to keep working and to care about you. It adds so much more value to the convo and invites diverse points of view We're really glad you could make it, Mindy Bloggers don't realize the value of Twitter chats yet either for visibility CommentLuv doesn't eradicate entirely, but I noticed a big difference--> G.A.S.P. I love GASP! Eliminates almost all spam comments
RT : RT : Every blogger wants to know SOMEONE is reading. Commenting encourages them to keep working and to care - I agree- blog commenting can easily drop to the bottom of the to do list - but it is so important! I totally agree! Twitter chats are so great! I have met some awesome bloggers/social media marketers through tweetchats Oh my goodness, Mindy! You read my mind! I tend to save the "best til last" and it does drop because of that. How do you use commenting to engage clients? RT : I love GASP! Eliminates almost all spam comments - YES!! I love GASP as well! So glad it is in my ComLuv+ A big difference is an understatement! GASP exists because GrowMap as getting 1000 spam A DAY Agree with you on educating the commenters I had this "creative spam" that I had to study & study... they had incorporated all the right words, so well. So, when is it spam? I don't engage clients, but rather do it on their behalf on related posts, helps with links, SEO, traffic I was just going to ask you that.. MT : A big difference is an understatement! GASP exists because GrowMap getting 1000 OK, I know what you're talking about now. Looked at your blog :) We CAN engage clients by commenting in blogs they frequent & let CommentLuv share with them what we do MT : I don't engage clients, but rather do on their behalf on related posts helps w/links, SEO, traffic Major benefit of GASP is it blocks the best spam, i.e., the spam that is hardest to figure out if real or not! Just looked at yours too :) If you have a business it is common to interact with clients & potential customers in the comments On the comments on your Party post... are all those features included in CLP? - That's one of the things I love about ComLuv+ - it allows me to relax & comment on the blog knowing CL+ introduces me Yep not so different to engaging clients in forums where they are looking for advice I guess Yes CLP is highly configurable - the blogger controls what you see there. Shares, how many posts, Twitter feed >> Q2 How Do I Comment and Respond Efficiently? Whether you want to allow keywords - it will even strip them out or hide them until x approved comments I've never used CommentLuv free so I always wondered what the differences were between free and Premium cc: A2 I use CommentLuv Premium :D I love having keywords, Twitter & CommentLuv links all on = fastest way to "know" your readers & weed out spammers! RT : Q2 How Do I Comment and Respond Efficiently? A2 Agreed. CommentLuv Premium is what I prefer - and if you have the premium version it overrides some of the settings A2 - Efficiently as in timely? Commenting on other blogs? A list of blogs in my GReader helps What I mean by that is that Premium users see all their posts even if a blog doesn't usually show them Gotta go, it was great to get involved in this chat! Will be sure to check out CLP A2 It really helps if you have your email set up first - so you can deal with all the subscribe to comments sent emails! I use GReader, too. Helps me keep up with new posts. I also like the dashboard widget w/CLP to go straight to a post. RT : All quality blogs moderate comments heavily Even with GASP we have to delete manually left spam Thanks for being here Did you enter for the random Rafflecopter drawing?
I was reading Andy's write up and there are a TON of extra features in premium. Thanks, Saleem. Glad you could stop in. Will archive the rest of the chat and send you a notification tweet :) A2 - Definitely agree - the dashboard widget is awesome RT : Q2 How Do I Comment and Respond Efficiently? Thanks for the RT, Paul Love to have you join us in discussing commenting if you wish Rafflecopter is another great product, I've already used it for a client with great success! Thanks I can see 's point about not having enough time. With all those features I'd want to spend all day commenting A2 Hard to balanced efficiency and relationship. Anything with quality requires engagement which takes time. Balance is key. Though I feel bad when there is a "Lonely Luvver" it is helpful to see if someone needs a response to a comment :) "Lonely Luvver" - I am going to have to remember that term :)
There is never enough time so we just have to prioritize - but whether we comment a lot or a little CommentLuv "introduces us"
We need a how-to Lonely Luvver post You must do well that it doesn't flag you! There is a little box that pops up if you don't respond to a comment. My biggest problem is getting to my own projects! My client work sucks up my time so that blogging/commenting as ME doesn't happen Obviously, I am far too familiar with seeing it (re: Lonely Luvver). Shame on me! I comment most on paranormal blogs and they aren't typically up on plugins and design options RT : A2 It really helps if you have your email set up first - <--More info, Gail?? Yep - I do better with my clients' engagements than my own. I hear ya! Don't we all Shoemakers kids have no shoes issues When you go out commenting and subscribe to comments they'll flood your inbox - need a plan to deal with that And what's a Lonely Luvver comment? Hello Ya'll catching up now. How ya'll doing? So glad you understand! It really is a case of the construction foreman's house needing the most work! Q3 What Are Helpful Tools for Commenting? In Premium, if you approve a comment, but do not reply to it, it will show up with "Lonely Luvver"... ... in the dashboard of Wordpress, assuming you have the plugin. Applies to other CommentLuvver users RT : Q3 What Are Helpful Tools for Commenting? A3 - Membership at ComLuv for sure Clarify Deb Only CL registered people appear in Lonely Luvver? A3 - Even if my clients won't approve me using CL+ on their blog, I make everyone of my clients a ComLuv member RT : A3 - Even if my clients wont approve me using CL+ on their blog, I make everyone of my clients a ComLuv member A3 - Also google alerts set up to alert for relevant new blog posts that are on blogs I am not currently following I have tools in my course, among them Comluv, sub to comments already discussed, Tom comm plugin, contact commenters among others A3 - Definitely CL! I cringe every time I try to comment on a blog that doesn't use CL. Most times I just don't comment at all I think so... Someone could correct me if I'm wrong :) re: Lonely Luvver RT : A3 - Also google alerts set up to alert for relevant new blog posts that are on blogs I am not currently following Great tip I could do so much more along those lines if I had enough of me to go around! A3 - Also, Gravatar, Disqus, LiveFyre memberships as well - so can comment on any blog
I use my unlimited CLP license for clients teaching the culture is difficult. I feel the same way Donna I miss CL so much if a blog doesn't have it Google Alerts - good one! MT : A3 - Definitely CL! ..a blog that doesnt use CL. Most times I just dont comment at all I second that. Great tip! I can deal with Disqus, Intense Debate and Facebook commenting systems but avoid commenting in Fyre blogs Don't think you can mix up those platforms on one WP blog A3 - Also - this isnt' a tool - but it is using a tool - KNOWING how to format name@keywords for CL+ blogs - so many people don't! Hey Thanks for the invite You never told me how the course is going? - it is so I can comment on ANY blog - not to use on the same blog Everyone needs a gravatar unless they are so concerned they don't want to plug into that. Even I use it on all sites Yes! We need to do a @TalkMarketingNow presentation on keyword selection How can SEOs who comment not know that! I was stunned when switched, but he stood fast. Read somewhere he may switch back. Right Being a member of all the platforms and having a profile with them. Sorry, misunderstood. Also a great tip! It's good Ivin. Excellent for the blogging newbie! And, you have a great section on useful commenting plugins Ivin - Mindy means she registers clients so they can comment on any blog using any system. Gravatar. Good one! I "forget" about it, because you can set it up and forget it.. I was surprised Justin chose that comment system to change to Surely a loss for CLP community What would you like to see added, as a pro? And how were the strategies? You know - another great tool - are the lists YOU have of CL+ dofollow blogs!! A3 Google Reader - indispensable for the "organized" commenter... or is it geeky commenter? lol I caught that. Apologies. Creation of more hours in the day! ;) Thank you I need to consolidate them and update them. That is really a lot of work! RT : You know - another great tool - are the lists YOU have of CL+ dofollow blogs!! LOL Cloning...or a waiting list of interns dying to learn what we know and willing to work a little to get a lot Remmebr saying he knows.Being a tech leader, guess he wanted to test. Has a great study. Interviewing soon RT : Great tip I could do so much more along those lines if I had enough of me to go around! No apology needed Hard to be clear in 140 characters minus hashtag!
Q4 What Commenting Systems Are Available? A3 - I keep spreadsheets of blogs I comment on - keep an eye on comments awaiting moderation, dofollow, PR, commenting system, etc You should catch list posted a couple days ago. Most comprehensive I've seen. RT : Don't we all Shoemakers kids have no shoes issues . Sounds interesting. Should be a good read when publishes it. What we need is a tool that can automate some of that Hi Bill and welcome Thanks for the RT. Are you joining us for chat? If someone we knew used Skype more....hint hint A4 - do you mean CommentLuv Premium, Disqus, Facebook Commenting, LiveFyre, Wordpress Comments, Triberr Comments RT : Q4 What Commenting Systems Are Available? Yes that is a complete list RT : A4 - do you mean CommentLuv Premium, Disqus, Facebook Commenting, LiveFyre, Wordpress Comments, Triberr Comments If she made more money so she had more free time.. ;) RT : If someone we knew used Skype more....hint hint There you are! You're in time for the Party in the next hour : You should see Mindy -Ooohh - looks interesting!! Great suggestion! "Commenting System" could be anything. Blog implementation (i.e. CLP), but may also be method, daily routine, too. Demand for quality content is driving prices up $75-$150 posts now paying $100-$250 and even as high as $500 Catch me on Skype AYC for more about that tool A4 - Also IntenseDebate is another commenting system True. Trying to teach people to comment as me, but not possible. Voice is very difficult to clone/fake. A4 I do like the use of Facebook commenting to put it out there for FB traffic, but haven't used it as much as CLP on the blogs. We're working on a couple software solutions and plugins. With a name like ... does it encourage debating? I'm curious now :) Speaking of. Have Skype group I want to make avail 2 discuss and assist (& learn) about comm. Skype name & I'll add. Yep. And the AJ deal finally puts me in that upper bracket. Been working my tail off for this! Does anyone know if commenting systems "play well" together? I know I can use CLP and FB in one blog... FB commenting and CLP... I think CLP is gaining more grounds rapidly I think sounds kind of scary myself :) A4 - I don't care for FB comments. I think that is one of my least preferred, actually. Hi everyone, we are entering into the Party Phase of our conversation, talking about Premium I always get that href error on blog I install it on. Don't know how to end it. Coding overload We have FB on Examiner and every time FB makes a change we lose all our comments and social proof numbers. Sucks! After Gail's vampire teeth comment, that is saying a lot! LOL RT : We have FB on Examiner and every time FB makes a change we lose all our comments and social proof numbers. RT : Hi everyone, we are entering into the Party Phase of our conversation, talking about Premium I agree, Enstine. I like to give options, but 's comment makes me think about "too much" Seriously? That's not good! lol you need a switch on the wall RT : Hi everyone, we are entering into the Party Phase of our conversation, talking about Premium @b2ctweetWill make a copy of my course avail to any blogger wanting to up his CLP sales - contest/giveaway. Contact me at my blog. Oh NO Lose forever or you recover them? I know. I had over 500 shares on one article and they disappeared over night. The only good thing about Facebook Comments is it says "Top Commenter" on my comments.
Will make copy of my course avail to any blogger wanting to up his CLP sales - contest/giveaway. Contact me at my blog. Well - I LOVE ComLuv+ There is no question in my mind that it was worth EVERY penny Forever. Gone! Zip! Adios amigos! Q1 What is CommentLuv Premium Commenting System? RT : We have FB on Examiner and every time FB makes a change we lose all our comments and social proof numbers. Yeah. Especially when I use those articles as writing samples and brag about how much traffic they get LOL RT : Will make copy of my course avail to any blogger wanting to up CLP sales/contest/giveaway. <--That is awesome! People think I'm nuts when I keep telling them you bring people back to the domain YOU control Because what you do on Facebook, G+, etc. can go *poof* in the blink of an eye RT : Hi Bill and welcome Thanks for the RT. Are you joining us for chat? Exactly. That's one reason I set up another blog. Hate losing that control RT : You bring people back to the domain YOU control <--TRUTH!!! RT : People think I'm nuts when I keep telling them you bring people back to the domain YOU control Sorry to derail the question But I'm working on an article and would like input. CLP Easter Eggs? RT : Q1 What is CommentLuv Premium Commenting System? Even when I show them examples they think it won't happen TO THEM... Naive have to learn the hard way! RT : RT : You bring people back to the domain YOU control <--TRUTH!!! Can Examiner give you a "manual credit" A1 Cracks me up because we have been talking about CommentLuv Premium. Is there anyone here that has questions on what it is? No. Trust me. We've asked RT : People think I'm nuts when I keep telling them you bring people back to the domain YOU control RT : Sorry to derail the question But I'm working on an article and would like input. CLP Easter Eggs? LOL Just in case there are lurkers, CommentLuv is a plugin that lets your commenters share one of their posts >> I believe you, definitely. I just like it when powers-that-be listen.. Wouldn't we all! CommentLuv is so much more than that though - it created blogging communities and relationships @athopublisher When you say "Easter Eggs" I'm thinking code that is meant to break... Does CommentLuv have that risk? RT : CommentLuv is so much more than that though - it created blogging communities and relationships CommentLuv Premium is 7 plugins in 1 - adds a Twitter username field, Spam protection, sharing incentives for G+, FB & Twitter 8-in-1 Commenting system bringing visitors to you, builds links and builds a network on your blog. What else did Andy add - older banners say 7 Cool hidden hings not everyone knows about. Oh well that could mean other ways GASP defeats spammers Checkbox is visible - others are not Ah... ok. "Easter Eggs" to me has a negative connotation, but maybe I am just remembering decades past. 8-in-1 CommentLuv, GASP, Twitterlink, KeywordName ? I read todayt there's a GASP Pro. Care to elaborate on that? Q2 Who Uses CommentLuv Premium? A2 I do on my personal blog A1 I use CLP on all of my 10-15 blogs (lost count). It is one of the first plugins I install. Oops... should have been A2... Most serious CommentLuv bloggers who can afford it have upgraded to the pro version and use it on all their blogs. If you are using CommentLuv Premium you already have the features of the existing GASP Pro But in the future there may be a monthly subscription type GASP Pro for those who want it TY (blush) RT : If you are using CommentLuv Premium you already have the features of the existing GASP Pro It's definitely one of those plugins that you want to save ur pennies to buy! -> RT : If you are using CommentLuv Premium you already have the features of the existing GASP Pro Hi Gail. I agree with you, and I always moderate comments. And thanks for the invite to the conversation. Justin is talking to us but you can't see it in TweetChat because he didn't put hashtag on tweets Hey Gail do you have recommendations for lists of blogs? You're always welcome, Paul We love to meet more people Q3 Why Would I Want To Use CommentLuv Premium? Sorry, didn't realize this was a chat when I responded, am not here for long. I love CommentLuv Premium and endorse it, but there are reasons I use Livefyre that work for me currently, not 4 everyone. Thank you for the invite I'm off for the night. Been an honor. G'night all! MT : Been using CommentLuv since 10/11 (nearly 1 yr) Waiting for LiveFyre 3 comment system No worries - Just wanted to make sure you knew we weren't ignoring you - just not visible in TweetChat RT : I really like CLP though too and Andy has some new features coming which may sway me back. Thanks for being here, Ivin Goodnight. Talk soon Ivin, hey hit me up for interview anytime. I warn people that it is unwise to ever use a commenting system that censors you from a centralized location Glad you are here, even for a few :) Thanks for the articles on LiveFyre G'night Ivin. I'm reading your blog hehehe! Have a good one, Ivin! Thanks for all your great input and feedback! I do not use Livefyre because it does better for Google than CLP it is about the community of readers, interaction on social media If a blogger deletes your comment that's one thing But if a system censors human rights keywords that is evil I do agree with that, but I can moderate my comments from 7 blogs on 1 website instead of logging into 7 WP admin panels That is my other reason for avoiding that one Community is totally different I agree, I know you had issue and never did hear how it resolved. I would dump them if it happened to me without reason. Those who prefer easy will end up slaves to one system controlled by the few I respect their choice though LAST MINUTE Entries better hurry - CommentLuv Premium entries close in five minutes. Q4 Where Can I Get CommentLuv Premium? Gail, people can still get 100 entries by just registering for this chat that they are already on! I'm still around... reading the CLP page :) Good to know That is what we use Skype for - quick questions, answers, time-sensitive, related links to use in post Congratulations ! You won the Premium plugin! Check out Donna's article: http://ht.ly/dkpNd b Well now that's pretty darn cool! LOLOL Since you're rarely on Skype Donna please advise by DM the best way to contact you so we can make sure you get your CLP plugin. Yes it is. Andy is one lucky duck to have a famous blogger win his plugin Welcome to the community!! RT Congratulations ! You won the Premium plugin! Check out Donna's article: http://ht.ly/dkpNd b Ya know what? Hang on to it. I actually just bought it myself a few minutes ago. Wanted the developer version for sure...
