Top Commentators Listing Back
A few weeks ago, I had to remove the Top Commentators Plugin because it was overloading my database. Because the plugin goes though the entire database to find the top commentators, it can slow down a blog with a lot of users. In my case, it slowed it to the point where I had to remove it because the blog was taking forever to load.
I’m happy to report that the plugin is back and the database problem has been fixed. An upgrade to the latest version of Show Top Commentators seem to have remedy the problems.
The Top Commentators list the top 10 readers who posted the most comments to this blog over the past seven days. It’s a running seven day total. If a reader stops commenting, he will disappear off the list within a week.
The main selling point of the Top Commentator plugin is the list does not have a nofollow tag so Google follows the links. I know the plugin works to increase comments because I noticed a decrease in comments over the past two weeks when the plugin was turned off. Show Top Commentators is a great way to encourage comments on your blog. The plugin allows you to set a limit on the number of commentators to display and how often to reset the list.

Reply to this commentI am also glad to see that you are resuming the monthly online income report!
I did notice you mention something about your top commenters plugin before, but I had never seen it on here. Good to see it back. Also $35,000 this month? Not bad. Not bad at all.
Reply to this commentThat explains a lot. Your blog is so slow tonight.
Reply to this commentNo, it used to be a lot slower, before the Top Commentator code fix, trust me.
Reply to this commentNice to see it back, the new one is great as it keeps trolls out the top commentator list, it only keeps those active in your community, and not those who go through old post trying to get their name to show up, yeah you know who you are!
Reply to this commentGood to see it back, noticed the site had been slow..

Reply to this commentI was wondering why your blog was running so slow. It is good that you found the issue. Also glad to have the top commentators back.
Reply to this commentThis is really a great tip, will put it on my blog. Now the race to the top starts….
Reply to this commentWondered why top bloggers would push for comments? To that last question I figured it was SEO and content. Now, I believe it is about traffic for the blogger.
I newbie and am always learning.

I appreciate the link to the plugin. I’ll definitely try it on a couple of my sites.
Did you ever quantify, in percentage, the difference in comment levels between having the plugin and not?
Reply to this commentI was wondering where it went …
Reply to this commentThanks John.I fully understand that this plugin will definately increase blog activity. Is it this is a great tool in term of seo too?
