I want to give something back to those that take the time to comment by giving you a little reward. I’ve decided to implement a useful little plugin that rewards my top commentators. The plugin is called “Show Top Commentators,” but of course. It’s a nifty little plugin that enables you to show the top commentators on the front page of your blog along with a “dofollow” link to their site. This will enable “Top Contributors” to get their links right on the front page of Business Blogger and it enables me to give a little link love to you.

The plugin has a couple of options that I made use of. The first option was one that lets you limit the number of top commentators to list on your page. I’ve decided to put the limit at five commentators for the time being. For beginners, I had reservations about driving traffic away from the blog but on the other hand I want to help those that help me. I think a top five is fair for now, I may decide to change that at a later date. The second option I chose to use was the one that filters comments from users. This lets you filter comments from yourself or anyone else, so I filtered myself of course.

So here it is, the first set of top commentators:

Billy

Sabo

Steve Howlett

Angie Hartford

Robert - Sorry, I didn’t get your URL.

This plugin has been around for a while and I have run across a few blogs that use it. I think it’s a nice plugin and I hope you like it. I know that I’ve enjoyed your comments, opinions and insight thus far.
