  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.

  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?

  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 :)

  What a pity you removed this useful plugin!

  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.

  So how come you removed the plugin? I just installed mine. I also removed the nofollow from comments/trackbacks.

  I actually removed it because people were making short and meaningless comments in order to get ranked :-)

  Its a great way to increase comments volume, but only in case of high page rank of blog.

  Vinny,
  
  Where did you find the plugin? It looks like you've removed it all together - did the meaningless comments outweigh the extra participation?

  Hello Vinny,
  
  I am not able to find any option for top commenters in your sidebar?
  
  Please guide me for the same.
