What happened is revealed in the video, but it just goes to prove the power of this WordPress plugin.  Check out this video to get the rest of the story:

As you can see, some of the benefits are totally unexpected.  The moral of the story is to actually use CommentLuv.  Imagine if you leave 5 comments each day, 5 days each week, after one month you could have 100 of these stories like mine!

Use this WordPress plugin every day to get traffic, grow links, but most of all, build relationships.  It’s called Social Marketing for a reason, get Social!

If you do not, or if you are not really familiar with the plug in, I would like to share how I have been able to benefit from it.  Some ways are obvious and expected, while others were coincidental and quite unexpected.

First, I put together an introductory video to the CommentLuv plug in:

As you can see, CommentLuv is great for SEO.  You are getting a link back to your home page through your profile name.  But then you get something huge, a one way anchor text link pointing to your related content.  Wow.  That’s like spoon feeding Google, Yahoo and Bing exactly what they crave!

Try to do like 5 comments per day for 5 days per week.  At the end of a month you should have round about 100 of these links pointing at your site, all from relevant content.  From there just keep it going or outsource it.

For SEO, these links are not the only links you will ever need but they are a fantastic compliment, and highly regarded by the search engines.  Keep them growing at a nice slow pace.  Don’t try to blast 1000 in the first week then zero for weeks thereafter.

CommentLuv generates pure traffic as well to the SEO benefits.  Many people will stumble upon these comments and click through to visit your site.  Stop and think about that.  These people are interested enough in your niche topic  to be reading through the comments where they find yours.

They can click directly through to your content.  Instant targeted traffic.  Also, people begin to recognize your Gravatar and you begin to build brand recognition within your niche.  The more people recognize your image, the more credibility you build in their mind, and the more interest they have in your content.

But one of the coolest things has been the relationships that are instantly built.  Often times after leaving a comment, the blog owner will reply on their blog, but also head over to your blog and leave a comment.  From there, who knows what might happen.  But the relationships multiply and continue to grow.

So just imagine if month after month you build 100 or so of these “bridges” for people to reach your website.  Do you think that would help get traffic?  Do you think the search engines would like that too?  Do you think that out of 100 blogs you visit, you might meet some pretty cool people?

What have you got to lose?  Enable CommentLuv on your blog today and get started spreading the Luv!

Hi everybody.  I know a lot of you in Dave Nicholson Coaching are using the Lightword Theme for WordPress.

Something that was driving me nuts was how the date of the post would stick out into the left margin.  In fact it was outside the viewable area.  So it was impossible to read the date without minimizing my screen.

This is what I mean, the post date is just outside the viewable area:

So, while this was driving me nuts already, in Dave’s videos, I noticed his blog had the date displayed neatly within the post itself.  I couldn’t believe it!  This was the answer to my problem, there was hope after all!

While making the rounds, I stumbled upon the Sue Schlaiffer Blog.  On her blog I found some great content on health, fitness and overall well being.  But, I also found something else.  She had her post date displayed just like Dave!

Looking for an excuse to get to know a fellow classmate, I sent Sue an email basically begging her for the secret.  She immediately and graciously replied with detailed instructions, and then everyone lived happily ever after! Thanks Sue!
