Rat Race Lab: Comment Rules
Hi guys.
The blog is picking up some traffic lately, but there seems to be a lack of comments on the blog! So I wanted to make a couple of things clear about this blog that I haven’t really talked about before.
Firstly I tried to make this blog really SEO friendly for anyone commenting. I have installed plugins to make sure the backlinks here are dofollow and thus if you leave a comment, you should get a backlink from this blog. Pretty sweet deal yeah?
Secondly, if you want to use keywords for your anchor text go ahead and be my guest. If you have a branded blog, or you are targeting specific keywords, it’s no use you building backlinks for your name! So if you want to use keywords for your name/anchor text, you can be my guest!
Just thought I’d clear things up for some of the webmasters dropping by!
On the subject of leaving comments, feel free to leave one on what I could do to help encourage you guys to leave more feedback, opinions and comments.

Hi Alex
I have noticed on some blogs are using CommentLuv plugin, to encourage blog comments. I think if you use CommentLuv the URL (in the comment) will be “Dofollow” link also… I am thinking of using that myself.
Which do follow plugin did you use?

You should use plugin like commentluv and display top commentators in your sidebar to encourage people to comment on your blog. This is just a suggestion
Anyway I like the informations you share on your blog. Keep the great work Alex.

Hi.
I already have recent comments and top commentators in the sidebar. The commentluv thing is something I have been looking and thinking about as well. Appreciate the input.
Thanks for the feedback on the blog. I really enjoy your content as well. I visit daily if I manage to get online! A long with Mr. John Chows and a couple of others.

Hi Avis.
Good to see you back here. I forget the plugin, but I use a couple. I just searched dofollow plugins on wordpress and installed the best rated one that fitted my needs. Giving serious to the commentluv plugin though as well.

Hi Alex,
Good clean looking blog you’ve got here, I like that you haven’t filled it with adverts too.
I’ve got the Top commentators widget and commentluv plugin. Some people worry that if they have commentluv they might lose visitors I think?
But I’ve found if anything, it encourages people to visit and comment on my blog.
To encourage comments you could post a ‘how to’ type post or video, and then encourage your visitors to post their feedback and results of the method you showed them.
And a simple call to action at the end of the post, like you’ve been doing always helps.
And try and drop by here again soon.

Hey Pal,
Good site. Some useful and knowlegeable comments man
I know, I am creeping,lol. I hope can produce something like this myself one day. Which site did you buy your templates from?
Hopefully some of you folks might possibly help me out a little here. I am hoping to find someone who I was reliably informed told was a member on here. They did use to use the name ‘wizardwebthree’.
Because I am trying to start my own site on cosmetics related goods for goods such as: home tooth whitening (hence the where did you get your templates from,lol) but am having realllll difficulty getting hold of dropshippers for these goods. I had been in touch with this guy but my PC got stolen and unfortunately had all my contact details on it (I know, I know, should have backed it up
)
So if you people have heard or seen anything of him could you let me know please? Failing that maybe one of you folks knows someone?
Plus, which hosting do you use as I keep being told bad tales about the host I am thinking of hosting my site with. And any other informative tips you could give re starting up my site would be most helpful and gratefully appreciated.
I do hope that one of you has helpful info on this
Thanks Pal,

Hello.
I would recommend browsing http://themeforest.net
It’s where I get all my templates and themes for my wordpress projects.#
And I host with hostgator.com. Their support is awesome and 24/7 which is why I like them and do so much business with them.

Thanks for this dofollow link.
I have noticed, that if you want more comments on your blog, you have to be active in the blogosphere, probably by dropping commenting on other people’s blog. So the more people sees you, the more they want to visit your blog.
