Top 11 Comment Plugins To Make Your WordPress Blog More User Friendly

by Simrandeep Singh on May 21, 2009

One of the best features of WordPress is its plugins feature and after moving to WordPress I’ve collected so many plugins. Some of these are very useful and handy that I will share with you. In this post I’ve listed 11 best comments related plugins. You must use these plugins to make your WordPress blog more user friendly.

  1. Top Commentators Widget :

    top-commentators-plugin
    Top commentators Widget is the must have plugin for any WordPress blog to receive more comments. This plugin also helps the commentators to receive a link back from the blog for some days.

  2. Subscribe To Comments :

    Subscribe to comments plugin helps your visitors to sign up for an email notification of subsequent entries. It also provides options for commentators to unsubscribe to certain posts, block all notifications, or even change their notification e-mail address.

  3. CommentLuv :

    commentluv-plugin
    This one is one of my favorite plugins. You can show love to your commentators by giving a link to their last blog post using CommentLuv plugin. It also helps you to get more comments on your articles. So it is beneficial for both the author and readers of the blog.

  8. Thank Me Later :

    thank-me-later-plugin
    Thank Me Later is a plug-in which will automatically send a thank you email to readers after they post a comment. It can be set to send the message a time after the comment was posted (an hour, day, week, month, etc). It is effective as it will remind readers of their comments and gets them engaged with future discussion and your blog. It is useful to attract “one-time” readers who will post one comment, and then forget about your blog.

Does anyone know if having too many plugins in your WP blog would affect SEO?

It seems I have seen some of the more ranking blogs with little plugins, or widgets for that matter.

I don’t think plugins ‘affect SEO’ but they can slow down the time it takes to load your website

Link Building is one of the most significant aspect of the off page optimization process and is a major determinant of the popularity of your site. For search engines, back links or links pointing to your website indicate that you are ‘hot’ in the online marketplace.

I am adict of plugins. I do not quite understand how come all these little programs are free. They are so useful.
I am grateful for all the people that work so hard to create them.
But still I am amazed.

Thanks anyway

Many plugins have got a paid version with more powerful features, other free are just a good promotion for the programmer.

I think it builds a good reputation and trust, to give some things for free!
