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.

Runa · 2 years ago

@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!

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.

hopefully it'll be back up soon!

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

Nice plugin!

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
