I don’t know why more blogs don’t do this. Especially when they first start up. I suppose it does take more moderation work, with all the mindless spammers, but I’m sure it will payoff.

Hi Chris - It’s email based and previous comments count so you already have the nofollow removed. Now just keep commenting

How does this work?

Is it based (counted) on the NAME, EMAIL or URL I type in?
Are previous comments included?

Glad to see you got it working, just the backup needed now mate

James - I think you are right that it might attract a little more spam but I won’t let it last. 2 word posts like “Good Post” won’t be allowed to stay!

I want to reward those that engage in discussion and not those who are just commenting to get the link.

You will probably get a lot more Spam comments, but it is good to reward readers.

I’m so pleased people think its a good idea.

I had an idea about this for a while and was about to start developing the plugin, but then I came across Link Love.

“a few” comments is a number that I may change from time to time to ensure that commenters don’t just leave the exact number of comments to get a link and then move on.

I want to encourage discussion and commenting not just get people leaving a specific number of quick comments purely for the link.

Glad to see that you guys think it is a good idea. Now I just need to watch out for any spammers leaving one word comments to build up their comment count so they get links

Excellent idea Fraser, I have long been a fan of the ‘do-follow’ plugin, however I like the concept behind ‘Link Love’ in rewarding regular contributors.
