Replace Blogger’s Default Commenting System with CommentLuv

Before you publish a post on your Blogspot blog you need to replace the default commenting system. Here’s why – basically the default commenting system on Blogger sucks! You can find some Blogger hacks, but Goggle has come a long way with making improvements to the Blogger publishing platform but they have done nothing to improve the commenting system in over a year. There’s a fast and easy solution for you and it doesn’t require any technical skills or template modification. Join the CommentLuv communityand install the plugin!

Install Intense Debate Commenting System

Register for an account with Intense Debate. Then install the Intense Debate commenting system on your Blogger Blog. Don’t worry if you’ve had the blog for a long time, Intense Debate will still work smoothly. Ms. Ileane’s Blog was about six months old before I installed Intense Debate and I didn’t have any issues or lose any comments. Watch the video:

Activate the CommentLuv Plugin

Follow the 3 step process and don’t forget the most important step. INSTALL THE COMMENTLUV PLUGIN! Now, see how easy it is to install CommentLuv on Blogger! Your blog will benefit by receiving more comments and your readers will benefit by getting some CommentLuv.

Find blogs to comment on in your niche, with the Global CommentLuv Enabled Blog Search

CommentLuv Plugin For WordPress

If you’re looking for the CommentLuv plugin for self-hosted WordPress blogs, you can download the plugin on the ComLuv site, along with a few other plugins from the same developer Andy Bailey. Twitter Links is a plugin that add a link to the blogger’s Twitter account and the GrowMap Anti-Spambot Plugin is an alternative to Akismet that will combat false positive and prevent automatically generated spam comments.

Questions?

One more tip about using CommentLuv, be sure to use the same email address that you use for your Gravatar to reinforce your brand awareness. You will also want to carry over the exact same image to your Google + profile, and your Facebook profile too.

I know you have some questions like: Why should I get CommentLuv? That one is way too easy, you can do better than that, let me hear it!

UPDATE: When you create an account with CommentLuv it’s possible that FeedBurner Is Stealing Your CommentLuv Backlinks. To avoid this use this tip courtesy of Brian Rogel. Go to your FeedBurner settings and under “Configure Stats”, uncheck the box next to “Item link clicks”.

I agree that the default comment system for Blogger blogs stinks. You are much better off replacing it if you want any real volume of comments. This is especially true if the blog is brand new.

Hey Kathy, I see some people on Blogger using Disqus, but I had problems when I tried to install it. Besides there’s no CommentLuv on Disqus, so for me I don’t see any advantage. Thanks for your feedback.

Exactly! Ileane, most people faced faced problem using Disqus on blogger, However, I don’t like it, the default blogger commenting system is good for me. but I noticed a lot of people use Blogspot or Blogger blogs and they want to use commentLuv commenting system. I don’t have any Idea how to do that, but when searched for a tutorial, I found this excellent step by step tutorial on how to install CommentLuv to Blogger. Thanks a lot for sharing this.

Great tutorial and YES, it would be ironic if after installing ID one would forget about the ComLuv Plugin The only thing that I am worried about Intense Debate is if they have good “synchronization” with blogger. This is particularly important because of future migration to other CMS platforms. How is your experience with this?

Hey. I’m having a hard time getting CommentLuv to pick up my latest posts. Hope that’s your next topic. I was told to unban and tried to do so, I didn’t see that option. Will try again when I get home. I’ve had two more posts since the one that’s being linked everywhere!

Ileane Twitter: Ileane August 4, 2010 at 4:29 PM: Hi Kissie, I’m not sure that will resolve the issue. Who told you to do that? But here are the instructions if necessary. Go to the main site for CommentLuv , login to your account and from the menu at the top of the page select Member > Unban URL. Enter your URL and let me know if that helps.

I was really annoyed that the system didn’t recognize me even though I was logged in. Aargh! Intense Debate takes care of all of that! Once a user is logged in to ID their recognized instantly. That is a very powerful way to attract comments.

Ileane Twitter: Ileane August 7, 2010 at 3:34 AM

Hey Jenny. I’m glad you found this helpful and if you need any help you can let me know and I’ll give you a hand. I’m glad you mentioned Kissie’s issue because it was resolved but we actually laughed at what she was doing wrong but it’s very simple. When you’re leaving a comment and one of your posts appears next to the CommentLuv box, a the end of the title for your post there’s an arrow that you should click on to display the list of your posts that you can choose from.
I have a feeling that you might have a different problem. Let me take a look at your blog, brb.

Jenny, I figured this one out (I think) – Do you have a profile with on http://comluv.com because if you do it isn’t showing up here. Take a look at your CommentLuv profile and make sure you are using the same email address you are registered with. Take a look at these two images the first one is what I see if I hover over your profile link in CommentLuv on this post Jenny .

This next screenshot shows how the profile should appear on hover Cindy's CommentLuv Profile .

I hope this helps, if not let me know.

thanks, very good post …

Ileane Twitter: Ileane August 8, 2010 at 8:41 AM: Dear Cepplux, I’m glad you ended up joining the CommentLuv movement. If you want to add default links or additional url’s to your blog, here’s the tutorial CommentLuv Gives Your Blog Heart
Default links come in handy if you have a post that is beyond the threshold of your last ten posts. It could be post #11 or post #28 but it’s the one that brings you the most traffic or the one that has the most comments or just any one that you like. If you have more than one blog you can go for adding additional urls.

It was very nice to see that I inspired you to signup for a free account with CommentLuv!

Paul Twitter: technicallyeasy August 9, 2010 at 10:59 AM

The current Blogger comment system is better than the old system, but still no where near where Wordpress is, of course. It is nice, however, that Blogger users do have an alternative to their current system.

I just joined CommentLuv for my Wordpress blog, but I also have a few Blogger blogs that I may try it out on. Those blogs aren’t that popular, so I won’t miss anything if I muck it up.

Ileane Twitter: Ileane August 9, 2010 at 2:18 PM: Paul, I’m not sure how far you are going back when you say the “old system” in terms of Blogger comments. My first experience with it was about a year ago.

I’m really glad you installed CommentLuv on your Wordpress blog. CommentLuv rocks! Please share some links to your Blogger blogs so we can have a look at them. I’d love to see what templates and widgets you have installed. Thanks!

If you are seeing the wrong feed, you can troubleshoot very quickly by making sure that you’re using the same email address that appears on your CommentLuv account. Log into ComLuv.com, click the word Member at the top and take a look at Your Profile to be verify that the correct feed is entered

Please stop back and let me know if this worked for you.

leavesnbloom August 30, 2010 at 10:58 AM

Thankyou so much for the info and the helpful video – I am going to try this on one of my blogs over the next day or so. I’ve been concentrating on increasing the speed of my page load so does comment luv affect the time it takes for a blogger blog to load.

I’m wondering if installing it on the html would mean a quicker page load rather than a widget…….. would Andy be able to tell which is quicker or if it makes no difference.

Thanks again

leavesnbloom August 30, 2010 at 11:52 AM

I had to uninstall comment luv on one of my blogs – the comments were showing before the post and not afterwards when I used the widget.

I discovered that its quicker to get pages to load when its done through the html template – but since I did it with older blog posts none of my blogger old comments showed – so it looks like it can only be done on new blogposts if you want to keep your previous comments on the blog. When I installed it in the html the comments did show below the blog posts.

Hi Leavesnbloom. I’m not sure why you had the problem with your old comments. I used the gadget because I thought it would be quicker to demo in the video. If you want me to follow up with Andy, I’d be glad to.
Btw – it doesn’t appear that you have a CommentLuv account. It’s very important to know that you can benefit from CommentLuv even if you don’t have it installed on your blog. Register for an account so that when you comment on blogs with the plugin, you will have a choice of your last 10 posts to leave a backlink to. Also with the new Sexy Profiles feature, when people hover over the heart next to your post they will see your full profile information.

Once you register, you can also obtain additional URL’s and Default Links for your CommentLuv account that will add content for you to choose from on your list.

leavesnbloom August 31, 2010 at 1:50 PM

Hi Ileane – I managed to get it all sorted – got it placed the template for my photoblog and opened an account at comment luv. I’ve been leaving comments all over the place this afternoon and if I really like it I will consider moving it to my main blog. Thanks again.

Hey Mia, there is an alternate way to install Intense Debate directly into your template. I have not used this method but I heard that it will make your blog load faster. You can see the instructions on the Intense Debate site but please keep in mind that you should always back up your template before making any changes to it. Let me know how you make out using this method if you decide to try it.
Btw- I’m really glad that you took advantage of signing up for a free account with CommentLuv. Now I can see your profile when I hover over the heart at the end of your comment. Did you notice that yet? Sweet isn’t it!

Mama Mia September 18, 2010 at 3:51 AM: hi ileane! thanks for taking the time to reply to me. i really appreciate it! i’m still deliberating on whether i want to install ID directly into my template. though the instructions were carefully made & i think i can do it, it still doesnt look “as nice” as what we have now. you know what i did to make it load faster? i took out the widget that counts my visitors per country. thought long & hard about it & decided it wasn’t really that important to me. cut the loading time by half!

oh, & if u hadnt told me about hovering over “my heart”, i wouldnt have known that my profile can be accessed. thank you, my friend! more power!

I have to say I am really disappointed with Intense Debate Customer Service. I installed Intense Debate along with Comment Luv on my blog. It worked great until I made an adjustment and then would not work any longer. I deleted it and tried to install again and it keeps telling me it already exists. I written several times to the only contacts I can find on line for customer service. I was hoping that they could clear out the old information so I could start fresh or something to help out. It has been 4 months and I still have heard nothing. I have not even received a Robo response. I am extremely disappointed. If anyone has any ideas on how to get in touch with someone, please let me know.

I’ll try to give you a hand, but first I need to know if you installed Intense Debate as a widget or part of your template? My first suggestion would be to try and install it with the widget (as I demonstrated in the video) because from what I can tell, it’s not installed correctly on your template.

Hi,

I’ve just installed Commentluv onto my template, which I think is great, but now my ‘top commenters’ widget doesnt take any notice of my new commenters. Do I need to delete the widget and reinstall?

Ileane Twitter: Ileane December 5, 2010 at 2:44 PM: Jen, I’m not 100% sure about this, but it sounds like you need to install Intense Debate as a widget and not directly into the template. Give that a try first and let me know how it goes.

Thanks for letting me know about this it might be a problem for everyone using the Top Commenters widget on Blogger.

Hi Ms.Ileane,

Merry Christmas!

I had wanted to add comment luv to my blog but I mistakenly thought you could only do that on Wordpress. I stumbled on your blog and was amazed at how easy it was, especially since I already had intense debate installed. Now I get to have the little hearts and cool links to the most recent posts on my blogs comments. Thanks for the great information.

Hi Ileane! It’s Mia here!

I don’t know if you remember but I asked you for help months ago about installing Intensedebate on my blogger blog, Online Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Mom (http://mymommyconfessions.blogspot.com). Thanks to your help, everything was smooth-sailing and I really love using Intensedebate.

Lately, however, I noticed that my commenters aren’t able to write down their URLs (No field, no heart thingy, no commentluv). When I checked over at the Intensedebate website, it had an announcement that they “temporarily” disabled the Commentluv Plugin and Michael Koenig even wrote about it on their official blog. They said they needed to do some backup. That was Jan. 24, 2011.

For a big and high-profile company, I think 2 days of back-up is already quite a long time. I’m only asking your help/opinion for I know you maintain a good relationship with the Commentluv/Intensedebate people. Do you know if they still plan on putting the Commentluv plugin back in Intensedebate? I just want to know so I can decide on my next step.

Thanks in advance and for hearing me out, Ileane! More power to you and your blogs!

Ileane Twitter: Ileane February 4, 2011 at 4:35 AM

Hi Coffee Mama, here is the first suggestion I will make based on problems some others have encountered. Do you have an account with Intense Debate? Do you have a Gravatar? Please understand that the following companies are all owned by Automattic – Wordpress, Gravatar and Intense Debate and they work well together. But in your case you are using Blogger which is owned by Google, so you need to take extra steps to ensure that you are recognized by both entities.

Let’s just start with that for now and you can let me know if you have an account with Intense Debate by following me there. Here’s my profile http://intensedebate.com/people/ileane I hope to hear back from you soon so that we can get CommentLuv up and running on your blog!

Thanks for the tutorial. I originally installed Intense Debate on my blogger blog without Commentluv and noticed that I was unable to allow my readers to leave comments without me first moderating them. I’m wondering if I use the commentluv plugin will I be able to allow readers to leave comments sans moderation, and not have to worry about spam. I’m a relatively new blogger, and not a techie, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks again.

Nicki, unfortunately the only way to eliminate spam is through moderation. Intense Debate might have some built in spam filters but you still need to moderate and CommentLuv doesn’t combat spam either. Let me ask you a question – do you normally respond to comments on your blog?

Once again, thanks for visiting and let’s chat more about this soon.

I uninstalled because I have current giveaways going on my blog and cant lose those comments. Any suggestions?

Hi! Thank you so much! I successfully installed but now none of readers comments are showing up on the posts and this is a HUUUUUGE problem as my agent is about to start pitching my book and none of the comments are showing up so my blog looks DEAD. HELP Ilene!!

Ileane Twitter: Ileane April 4, 2011 at 7:34 AM: Hi Robin, I just visited your blog and it looks like you removed CommentLuv. Is that right?

Robin, I really need to say that if you’re promoting a book and you have an agent, you absolutely should think about migrating to a self-hosted WordPress blog. You might lose some comments during the migration process – but if your long term goal is book promotion the possibilities are endless with WordPress. It will be so much easier for people to find your book through search engines because of the built in SEO features of WordPress.

However, if you’re going to stick with Blogger and you still want CommentLuv we can talk more about getting it installed. Let me know.

Best wishes to the success of your book and your blog!

I have already done that buy my blogger wouldn’t just accept the template generated by intense debate. I’ve tried 4 times, it just doesn’t accept the HTML. It says there are two HTML 7. What would I do?

Hi Ileane,

I could really use your help! I installed using your instructions and thought it hadn’t worked because my comments didn’t change their appearance. I uninstalled it. When I posted my next blog, everyone said they couldn’t comment at all. Sure enough, no comment section (blogger version or otherwise). So I reinstalled it and found that you have to click the date stamp on the end of the blog post, and THAT leads you to comments. In your video it shows “comment” to the right of the date stamp, but I didn’t get that.

In addition and possibly related because I’ve changed nothing else:
*Suddenly I have two feeds with the same name on Feedburner

*I created a Gravatar (as per Intense Debate’s instructions) and uploaded my pic to all three of my email addresses but my picture does not show up when I view my profle (and therefore on my blog when I comment it shows a grayed out face – my pic appeared when I used to use Blogger’s commenting system)

*If I uninstall ComLuv and click on “show comments on posts” to try to reinstate blogger’s original comment system, the comments still don’t appear

Sorry to ask so many questions – just a little irritated and I’ve now put a ton of hours into trying to solve this. Thanks for your help.

Ileane recently posted..View From the Wall

Julie June 5, 2011 at 4:22 PM: Thank you for taking a look at my blog. I was neglecting to check the box to “add comments to this post”. When I view the comments now, the pics that people have attached to their comment actually stay static while the comments themselves scroll. Is this anything that can be fixed? I tried to look at is as an administrator and then logged out, and it seemed the same. (I am wondering if I wouldn’t be better off in general switching to wordpress. It seems like they are better able to use plug-in that are created for them in the first place?) Thanks again!

Thank you so much for posting the video – - it was so helpful! I added commentluv yesterday & everything worked perfectly. Today, I posted a new blog post and on my blog homepage there is no longer a link to leave comments in the footer of the post – usually it is right before the time stamp. If you drill into the post – commentluv appears & you can leave a comment, it just doesn’t show up anywhere on the homepage (for the new post only)… very confused….

Hi Illeane,
Thank you for the video and tips. I am new to IM and I came across the commentluv plugin on other peoples blogs but it did not show up any of my previous posts. I went through the FAQs on the comluv site and figured out that the WordPress theme I was using did not have a link to the main RSS feed in the head section of the page. Instead, the theme had a link to the RSS Comment feed in the header and a link to the main RSS feed in the body of the page. Once I added a link to the head section (using the theme editor) commentluv is working fine. Just wanted to share this with you in case other people experience similar problems. Thank you

I must admit that there is no telling how much longer CommentLuv will be available for Blogger. Andy said that he will only keep it running until the server dies.
In that case Disqus might be a good idea for you if you plan on staying on Blogger. However, my advice is to migrate your blog to self-hosted WordPress.

What are your plans for your blog in the next few months?

First I would like to thank you for this helpful page. I first saw “3 Reasons Why I Won’t Comment On Your Blog.” Upon your suggestion I went to put commentluv on my site. So, I did a quick search on how to do it. Your other article came up first. How cool is that? You must have this stuff mastered. (Well I guess that’s obvious) Anyways. I followed the instructions but it looks different on my site than I expected. I’m wondering If I’ve done anything wrong or forgotten something.

Commentluv is a great plugin for webmasters to control their readers comments. It encourages a website’s reader to leave a quality comment whereas it also have got the maximum protection against spam. I have used it some of my blogs and it was great experience for me.

diooda December 21, 2012 at 7:58 AM

What is “easy” is usually whatever we get used to and I can tell you I am “used to” both blogger and CommentLuv and I vastly prefer CommentLuv. If someone uses blogger and does not have CommentLuv installed do at least enable the option to use your url because half the time I can’t get logged in so I can’t leave a comment – and where I have no voice I rarely read or share or return!

Bloggers may be interested to know that serious bloggers read, comment and then share – and that some of us can send your posts 100+ visitors per tweet or share. So if you want to get more readers you might want to give what commenting system you use some serious thought.

If you’re on blogger search for +Ileane +video +”Install CommentLuv on Blogger” – I would have shared the link but the commenting policy here prohibits that.

I hope you will read the post I’ll put in CommentLuv in this comment because it contains valuable information on what IS spam versus what is NOT spam and why bloggers should not be excluding many of their most loyal readers from commenting.

Where a person has no voice there is no reason for them to hang out – and there are millions of blogs so don’t expect them – or me – to support your efforts if you don’t want to hear from us.

But, how to add commentluv for Blogger’s Dynamic templates?
Thanks.
Amit recently posted..Top Ten Gadget Gifts this Christmas

Ileane Twitter: Ileane December 26, 2012 at 9:58 AM: You can’t do it with Dynamic views. I stopped using Dynamic Views because you can’t edit the template for any reason. For example, I wanted to add the Bing Webmaster Tools code at the time. No can do! I recommend not using Dynamic Views. Check out the template I use on this blog and let me know if you like it http://basicpodcastingtips.com

i’ve been trying to get CommentLuv working for months and no matter how many times I install/reinstall etc I just CANNOT get it to work.

I have DISQUS installed at present but it is not as good. Do I really need to remove Disqsus in order to install Intense Debate or would it make no difference?

I keep searching online for solutions as to why some Blogger users cannot install I.D. & CommentLuv but there really are no answers

Darren Twitter: ideas_for_cash January 20, 2013 at 9:12 AM: I have got CommentLuv working on SOME posts but not others. The default blogger commenting system shows for comments made under the old system. That’s fine, but somebody made a CommentLuv comment and the system reverted back to the blogger comment form

Hi Ileane, i’m Yanty from Malaysia. I’ve tried to install n plugin the CommentLuv on my blogger blog but then I put it down away when there is other bloggers did drop by and leave comment using commentluv but it doesn’t appear there is a comment at the latest entry but only when I click on the 0 Comments there is actually few comments left. May I know where did I go wrong so that I can try to re do it again sooner or later after once I got your kindness feedback.
Thank you from Malaysia.

Is there a way to remove the log into intensedebate or wordpress buttons from the comment area? I have seen other blogger blogs with commentluv without having those options there and I am able to comment with the commentluv feature. Also, I did have this feature installed and it worked fine but I noticed that in my test comment I couldn’t click on the link for the recent post. Suggestions?

Ileane Twitter: Ileane August 5, 2010 at 3:33 AM

Kissie, I think the issue is related to the settings on your CommentLuv profile. Don’t worry, we will get to the bottom of this! Thanks for hanging in there.

You did the right thing to remove that widget. Here’s a free tool you can use to test your load time and hone in on what’s causing the lag-time http://tools.pingdom.com/
I’m happy using the ID as a widget and when I run the test it always scores well. Keep me posted. Please come back soon.
