    I like the idea, curious what triggers the URL - mine is wrong.

    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.
  • Simonne · 2 years ago
    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?
  • Vinny Lingham · 2 years ago
    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.

    @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.

    It's a great ideea. Since I enabled do-follow on my site, I noticed an increase of over 50% in comments. I don't mind that at all :)
  • Cavalcare · 2 years ago
    What a pity you removed this useful plugin!
  • Vinny Lingham · 2 years ago
    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.
  • DngloZ · 2 years ago
    hopefully it'll be back up soon!
  • seo web designer · 2 years ago
    So how come you removed the plugin? I just installed mine. I also removed the nofollow from comments/trackbacks.
  • Vinny Lingham · 2 years ago
    I actually removed it because people were making short and meaningless comments in order to get ranked :-)
  • Artem · 2 years ago
    Its a great way to increase comments volume, but only in case of high page rank of blog.
  • Crystal · 2 years ago
    Great idea, I wish they would get a plug in for blogger
  • free ipod touch · 2 years ago
    Nice, I hope you get lots of comments this way!

    Vinny,

    Where did you find the plugin? It looks like you've removed it all together - did the meaningless comments outweigh the extra participation?
  • Vinny Lingham · 1 year ago
    Hey Jayson - unfortunately so....

    Hello Vinny,

    I am not able to find any option for top commenters in your sidebar?

    Please guide me for the same.

    Thanks
