Traffic & Comments booster in one?
Well to be honest, most of you who have been loyally commenting on my blog are engaged actively on the Entrecard community (I said most, not all).
I’m sure you must have heard about Entrecard “joining forces” with SezWho news. Some people clap, some people frown. That’s life lol. Can’t make everybody happy!
As for this blog, I’ve decided to install SezWho plug-in to reward you for your comments and also as an incentive to comment more on my blog.
However, I’ll still keep my eye on alert. I may decide to keep the plug-in or scrap it altogether if I started seeing lots of spammy comments!
Why you should comment on my blog
- I have the Show Top Commentator plug-in installed on my blog. You’ll see it on my sidebar titled “Commentators of the Month”. You’ll get a bit of link love from there if you actively participate on my blog. It will be resetted monthly, to give everyone a fair chance!
- I have the CommentLuv plug-in which will display your latest blog’s post beneath your comment. If your title is catchy, other readers might click it and go to your blog. Free targeted traffic for you.
- SezWho plug-in. If you are already on the SezWho community, then this will be a bonus. If you are on Entrecard community, your comment will be rewarded with Entrecard credits by commenting on my blog.
- Your comments give me encouragement and support morally and subconsciously. It’s good to know that a post has become a blessing to others.
- You can express your opinion about a given topic and learn from other commentators too.
- If you comment often, other people and I will remember you. It’s good. It gives you credibility. It lets me know that you are one of my loyal readers and I should have heard your opinion more often.
- We get to know each other more, isn’t that fantastic? ^^
To those who have installed the SezWho plug-in on their WordPress blog and want to have more control as to what is being displayed and where, you can do so by:
- Turning on the “Disable Auto Layout” option on the SezWho plug-in configuration.
- Add the SezWho codes manually on your theme files
- Configure some SezWho settings (Gravatar size, Rating icons, CSS, etc) on your SezWho account on SezWho’s website.
To those who don’t like their history of comments being displayed everywhere, you can opt-out from SezWho to ever track your comments history by going to the SezWho Opt-Out page. I know some of you have already opted out, but I want to know why? Your comments on other blogs are easily searchable on search engines anyway, so why would you want to hide it away?
I’ve decided to remove SezWho’s comments history feature on my blog though, as to show that I respect your privacy here on my blog.
What’s your opinion on installing the SezWho plug-in here on this blog?

I’ve had sezwho for a little over a month and haven’t had anyone complain about the tracking comments thing. It’s what it’s there for….
Now the rating thing — well, I don’t know about that.

Hi Michael, your site is rich with information. Well organized too. Btw, Can I view the “review of my blog”? Where can I view it? Thanks a lot.
Happy blogging.
I think the new partnership can only help, I don’t see how it will hurt any blog, except maybe more spammy comments to deal with.
Geoservs last blog post..Show us your SezWho/Entrecard blog for 1000 Entrecard credits
I think that there will be people commenting in other blogs just for the credits. Personally, if I don’t want to say anything related to a post, I don’t comment on it just to leave my name there…
Let’s see how this partnership will work, and as Geoserv said I think this could only help to the blogosphere.
I installed it on my blog the other day. I’m going to monitor it to see if my comments actually increase because of this.
hey nice post, i agree that it is good to comment on other peoples blogs and such, for many of the reasons that you have listed, i like that plug in that you mentioned about putting the latest blog post title under the name, do you know if there is one for blogger, thanks

I love the new partnership. I’d never heard about SezWho until Entrecard teamed up with them. If I had known about this before Entrecard brought them up I would have installed it a long time ago!
I utterly hate pop ups of any kind so I will probably not participate in this. -_-
I have also installed Sezwho on my blog
Lets hope it goes well and increases the comments.
Well, that’s pretty cool!
I’ll have to check out SezWho.

Hmmm, I’m frustrated over myself for not being able to install this plugin on my blog as much as I wanted it to. It seems like the mouseover effect didn’t work quiet I expected.
Anyway, Michael the rating for the comment is overflowing to the right side of your comment from where I see it now. You might probably have a second look at it. (I’m using FF for Mac)

The more people install it, the merrier! If you are having problems with installing it on your blogging platform, I’d suggest to go to their forum. Some one may have an aswer there!
Yan: Thanks. It looks fine on my Firefox but on Safari, I could see the problem. Think I’ve fixed it *hopefully*
You are welcome! and thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I’m not using my home computer right now to verify it for you but I guess you have somehow managed to fix, haven’t you?

I have it installed on my blog. There is a slight problem with it, however, since my blog is on Blogger. SezWho is having trouble with updating the stats for Blogger blogs. They are looking into correcting that problem.
Besides that, I think it is a good system and the more that use it the better it may become. Still, everyone has a choice of whether to use it or not.

@Yan: I’m not an expert in CSS but I’m kinda good at guessing lol
@Van: Hopefully it won’t stop people from commenting on your site
@Paul: Yeah I’ve got a few questions from my readers about installing it on Blogger. Just keep an eye on the forum as there were problems with the WordPress platform too but they seem to have fixed the problem somehow a few days ago
I’m sure Blogger will be next
