I know when bloggers write a new post with great contents they want lots of comments coming into that article. When a visitor reads the article he/she may take some things into consideration before making a comment. The readers will browser around to see what rewards they can get for making a comment.

For example, being a top commentator, they get do-follow links to their blog, twitter profile link, etc.

Well I use 11 great plugins on my blog so I get lots of comments on my articles and I am very happy for that. If you don’t have these plugins installed on your blog as yet, then you might want to add them.
