I am trialling a plugin that turns all comments into a separate page that includes all other comments by the same author. I found out about it from my online friend Barry Wells.Comment contributors who have taken the time to add comments to several posts on my blog will get what appears to the search engines as a separate page of content with a DoFollow link back to their site. The separate page is generated dynamically and is packed with all their contributions from everywhere across the blog. The DoFollow link back to Barry’s site is right at the top of the the page. In fact, they will get one unique page for every comment left on this blog.
Take a look at one of Barry Wells comment summary pages. This link opens in a new tab so that you can check it out, leave it open, then come back here to continue reading about it. Remember, this is just one of his unique pages now hosted on my blog.
If a comment author has posted several times on my blog their “personal” comments page will include every one of those comments and will be like a Guest Post. The exception is that you cannot add comments to the end of personal comments summary page. It does have a few other not-so-obvious benefits though.
It is a guest post with a difference in that it just keeps building as Barry adds more comments to the blog. The comment thread at the bottom of Barry’s page (that you still have open in another tab/window) comes from the particular post you were on when you clicked on Barry’s name or keywords. In Barry’s case it is keywords as he takes advantage of the Keyword Luv plugin.
Not only that, every one of Barry’s comments across the blog links to a new version of his page with a unique URL and a different set of comments depending on the underlying post.
I get dozens of extra content pages that can be found by search engines and each new page has links back to other posts on the site. Search engines like to see a healthy level of linking within a site and it helps the spiders find new comments very fast.
My site map now contains links to several hundred content pages on this blog. Now, some will say that I will get penalised for that as search engines also are claimed to prefer organic growth of pages over time rather than a whole heap coming on line overnight. I guess time will tell.
So in a sense, everyone who comments on my blog and leaves a URL link back to their site is getting an opportunity to build something similar to a guest page on my blog. I never thought I would get into accepting guest posts so soon, even if it is being performed dynamically by this plugin 
One drawback is that the link love from the Keyword Luv plugin is not directly from the comment stream but from the dynamic page. This might discourage some casual readers from clicking through to the blog of comment contributors. On the upside, CommentLuv links still point to your chosen post at the end of your comment. I am looking to see if I can edit the plugin so that the Gravatar image points to the custom dynamic page (your “guest post”) and make the KeywordLuv/Your name point back to your chosen URL, like it used to.
Do you like the idea or does it suck big-time? Is it out of this world and would it encourage you to write keyword rich comments knowing that they will all be on a page with a keyword based link to your chosen URL? I think it delivers value to visitors and me. Let me know what you think below.
PS. The plugin is ‘SEO Super Comments‘.

Wow! I definitely think this is a unique idea. I have the recent comments plugin with fairly large avatars as a column as a way to “celebrate” my blog visitors, along with the comment luv plugin. I’ve been wondering what else I could do! This could be the answer – especially to help out and recognize people who return and comment and help build the content on your blog!
Thanks for letting us know about this!! I cant wait to hear your results after your trial.

Gwen, I am with you on the celebration idea. I value blog comment contributors and will acknowledge everyone who takes the time to comment. Traffic results will come along a few weeks after the challenge is over (2 more days to go)
Hi, Micheal,
Just guessing, but I think the overwhelming response will be “I like it”. LOL
I am learning so many new and useful things with this 100 blog challenge!
This is a great place to learn how to implement new ideas.
Thanks so much,

Hi Michael
Thank you for an interesting post, I hadn’t heard of this plug-in before. As Vance said earlier, ‘the devil is in the detail’ so I will have to spend some time investigating it further before I make any decision.
Warm regards
Lynn
Sure Lynn, I would suggest you do that with all plugins that mess with your comments, content, links and sitemap.
Hi Michael
This is quite technical for a biginer like me and I will have to re read it but it looks like an excellent tool. Barry’s 25% uplift is very interesting. I have subscribed and look forward to your updates.
Thank you for the heads up
Vince
Vince, stay tuned and I will give you my traffic figures soon.
Hi Michael,
I’ve been hopping my heart out trying to get to all these blogs to honor my commitment to this challenge. I still have a lot of ground to cover so I can leave a comment. There is a lot of interesting blogs out there and yours also.
Have a good one.
Enjoy the Challenge.
Mike
Hi Mike, don’t forget to stop every now and then and smell the roses
Hi Michael,

This plugin sounds very cool. What’s its name? Where do I find it?
Deb@Futures Trade´s last post..A Nice Quicky
Deb, re-read the last line of the post. The name is also the link to the author’s site.
Hi, Michael
This sounds great – and once you have it the plugin going people will WANT ot return to your blog to see their “own page” building.
Not to mention all the links you’re getting
Thanks for the info
Jennifer
I hope so. We are all so busy building our own “empires” that sometimes the little things are overlooked but I do hope that it benefits comment authors with a little more link love.
Hello Michael,
That sounds like a pretty neat plugin, will come back and have a better look, the fact it ends up developing new pages of comments is useful as pages are something Google likes even better than blog comments. Thanks for the info and sounds like a good new resource to try.
Good luck
Cheers
Dave
Sure thing Dave. The best way to find out is to give it a go.

Hi Michael
That seems a really nice plug in with a lot of advantages. And the idea to get the comments from the “top contributors” on a separate page seems wonderful. No only because it gives you more content pages but also because you give more exposure to the people that contributes actively to your blog.
Definitely, I’ll give a try to this plug in.
Cheers
Jorge
Jorge Bento@Starting Your Own Business Online´s last post..Starting Own Business Online – Identify the Resources
Jorge, I am glad to hear you like the idea. Each contributor gets their own page with a link to their blog up near the top. Twitter addresses still work on the original post (this page) as do CommentLuv links on this page. What I mean is, if you use Twitter and CommentLuv you get two links from every comment on this page as well as the dedicated page & link on your own comments page.
Dang im kinda jealous i didnt think of that idea first. I definetly think that has some potential
The best way to measure its value is to install it and try it out. If nothing comes from it, just disable the plugin. I am keen to keep it going for now.

Interesting idea, each person gets their own post page. Hasn’t this been done before or am I thinking of something else? Will have to check back on this soon. Thanks for the idea.
I cannot say if it has been done before. It is probably not unique but in all the blogs I have visited so far I have not seen it or anything similar.

WoW! thats an amazing plugin and do remember to share you experience with us and tell us some more interesting plugins that can help us to do the work easily and accurately. Thanks man
I sure will. Thanks for visiting.
The Twitter locations still work on the initial mail (this page) as manage CommentLuv connections on this page. What I signify is, if you use Twitter and CommentLuv you get two connections from every commentary on this sheet as well as the dedicated sheet & connection on your own remarks page.

Thanks for this post. I’m actually using this plugin. I came across it a few weeks ago and installed it. But the truth is that I really did not know the details about it. Infact this morning when I moused over some of the comments on my blog I discovered they were not pointing to the commenters’ blogs. I thought something was wrong with my theme. On clicking on some of them I now realized that it was the plugin (SEO Comment plugin) that was responsible. I was thinking of removing as I thought it was not too good for the commenter’s benefits. But then when I read the ‘read me’ text again I realized what was happening.
I must appreciate your post because it further explained a lot of things. It will be a great idea indeed if you can further work on it as you mentioned.
Thanks.

Stay tuned Chadrack as I will be working on changing the code and posting an update here once it is working the way I want it to. That is, the gravitar pointing to the internal generated page and the Keyword Luv link doing what it should do – point to the comment authors chosen URL/blog.
This is really great to be Dofollow. This is a feedback to the comment contributors and also will increase the traffic. Looking forward to your traffic report.

I definitely love the idea of SEO Super Comments. This plugin is amazing Michael. As you have mentioned, this is totally out of this world. That one drawback you have mentioned is understandable. This will help us a lot. Good job!
Stay tuned a little bit longer. I am making the changes to the code as well as compiling a 2nd post on this one. Thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment.
Wow that sounds like a great SEO tool! what does it take to get it.
Download it from the WP repository.
Thanks everyone for your patience. I am working towards making the changes to the SEO Super Comments plugin that will incorporate the suggestions made by you all above.
For those who haven’t been to my blog for a while, please do pop on over as I have put up a new look in preparation for a big year
See you soon, Michael
Whoa! The auto notification email that came out looked great but the links didn’t work. Sorry about the comment spam
I hope it is fixed this time. If not please persevere for a bit and I will try to not spam you with comment notifications too much today. It’ll be working 100% in an hour or so.
Cheers, Michael
Last one, I promise, from this thread from me today! The links are now working in my comment notification emails
If you follow my advice elsewhere on the blog to install Subscribe to Comments Reloaded then please read that post to get some very important pointers on how to best configure your email notifications so that your links work and you don’t have to spam your valuable readers like I have today.
Once again, I am sorry that you received three emails from me on this but it is better to get it working and then share the solution – and apologise for the mistake – than to try to pretend it was something else.
See you soon, Michael.
I think this is a very interesting idea, thanks for the great posting.

Looks like this plugin is worth checking out!
If it works well I will be using it for my offline Viral Marketing clients as well.
Thanks very much,

Sally´s last post..Better Build it Because It’s Here! Social Media and Viral Marketing!
Hi Sally. I am going to be adding a small tweak to the plugin so that the keywords used by Keyword Luv still point to your blog rather than the dynamic page as it does currently. Not too long now and it will be a great plugin. I don’t like the fact that it takes over the Keyword Luv link and drops your nofollow link onto the dynamic page. Put your plans on hold for just a little while and when this new tweak is out it will be a much better plugin. Cheers, Michael.

Hi Randy. It is the most popular post for comments. I have hit a snag with modifying the plugin to do what I want it to do without touching any file in the theme/core. There is little point in releasing an update to the plugin if it requires people to lift the bonnet on the theme PHP or the WP core – a big no-no when it comes to stand-alone plugins.
I can see a way around this technical hitch but it has put my plans back a couple of weeks. No matter. Good things come to bloggers who wait.
Michael.
Hi Michael,
I believe this type of plugin will offer a great initiative to people to comment on a post multiple times.
I noticed the page that has Barry Well’s comments has also other people’s comments at the bottom, as if these people commented on Bery Well’s comment summary page. Where did these comments come from? Where these comments actually left on other pages of your site and they just show there as well?
The comments that appear below each individual’s comment page are the string of comments from the original post. I have yet to see any negative affect from this from the search engines. Search engine algorithms would contain logic that recognises the various ways of displaying the same information posted on blogs – tags, categories, archives. The same material can be displayed in several placed, just in a different order. I am taking the approach that the duplicate content will not be seen as something negative rather just one of the many ways in which blog content is repackaged for a different audience.
Interesting stuff, i’ll have to try it out on one of my other sites first.. Thanks.
