Top Commentators

I really appreciate all of the good commentators that leave their comment in this online knowledge blog. The comment is one of the factors that still keep me do blogging. Comments also act as inspiration source for my next blog content. In fact, I really gain much knowledge from blog comment. It is not only the comment in this blog but also comment in others blog. Sometime, I found that the comment have more useful information than to blog content it self. So, it is normal that blog admin give appreciation for the commentators this day. Especially for blog admin who really understand the importance of comment.



DoFollow Tag in Comment Form

There are blog admin appreciate the commentators by use DoFollow tag in their comment form so the commentators get page rank juice form it. But in my opinion, this kind of appreciation only can do for blog that already have a ton of back link. It is because comment form with DoFollow tag potentially harms the blog rank in search engine. Google really hate the blog that pass too many page rank juice to another site, especially if the link is not related with blog content. The blog that pass too money link juice which is not related with blog content surely will punish by Google immediately. And this is surely happen for blog that uses do follow tag in comment form, because it is impossible to control link of commentators. It is also not a good choice to filter the commentators’ link because it surely decreases number of commentators.



DoFollow Tag in Top Commentators

In my opinion, the best and easy method to appreciate the commentators without harm your blog is use DoFollow tag in Top Commentators list. Yes, I really suggest that we put the top commentators list in our blog and use DoFollow link on it. Sure, you can control how many link list in Top Commentators list. This kind of appreciation is more reasonable to both of our blog and the commentators. Having ten or five DoFollow link in our blog side bar will not harm our blog and we still give some page rank juice to our readers. This method also can increase number of blog comment because many blogger love contest. The surely try to reach top position in top commentators list. Therefore, I search trough internet if there is Wordpress plugin for this needs. And I find it really fast. The plugin is “Show Top Commentators” Wordpress plugin.
