As a blogger I write basically so that I can express myself but also to entertain and sometimes to instruct anyone who happens to land on one of my posts. But all that comes to nothing unless those posts elicit a response such as comment. I thrive on my comments, almost as much as being able to comment on those blogs that I visit. Yet even though I love to comment there are certain things that bloggers do that irk me so much I just leave in disgust.

If nothing else, blogging is sudden access to a platform through which you can do a few things that you simply can’t do anywhere else. A blog allows you to write however often you want to and in however much detail you feel compelled to write in; it sidesteps the issues of finding an outlet for your writing, as well as the tedious requirements that would otherwise require you to keep things either extremely brief or go in-depth about something. That decision is yours to make on a blog, and you have as much freedom as you’d like to take risks, especially as you’re simply getting started.

The thing is, I’m betting that my reasons for using CommentLuv are somewhat different than yours. Not all of you, of course, but an overwhelming majority of you. If you’re not using this plugin to increase your visibility in the community then you don’t know anything about networking. If you are, you might still be going after low hanging fruit rather than getting into the meat of it all (now there’s an oxymoron, talking about the meat of fruit). Let’s find out, shall we.

One of the unique features of this plugin is that no longer happens, once you’ve replied to a comment it appears withing seconds without loading the whole page.

Bloggers put on these two plugins to encourage commenting and reward their loyal readers and followers, but they are heavily abused by marketers and spam bots which are trying to find and scavenge a quick backlink.  They are also abused by individuals hired to scavenge backlinks for companies or people who just do it for themselves.

This is where DoFollow restriction plugins come into play.

One such plugin is the NoFollow Free  This plug-in allows you to provide DoFollow links to your loyal blog commenters but prevents you from providing that same benefit to spammers and everyone who comments (like the DoFollow WordPress plugin does).

When I first began working online I saw that while there were thousands of people looking for ways to earn money online, only a percentage of them became successful, and a handful became extremely successful.

While you still hear the occasional story of the cyber-rapid progression from rags to riches, these stories become fewer and further between. There is more competition online than there was a few years ago (although, once you really know what you’re doing, there isn’t really much real competition). And it isn’t possible to short-cut or cheat oneself into momentary wealth, as it once was.

I decided that the prime difference between the successful and the not-so-successful must be, primarily, persistence.
