The whole concept behind the plugin is presented in Presenting SEO Super Comments Concept which I suggest reading.
For each user comment we will create a new dynamic page on the blog, holding the actual comment information. This page will not actually exist in WordPress database, but we will create it dynamically using a WordPress plugin.
What we instantly get in this way is big jump in site's index visible to search engines. This is possible because blog comments are crawl-able, index-able and most importantly rank-able content. Also meaning you will start to get search engine traffic for the context of the comment.
The old author link in the comments will now lead to the newly generated page. Author's URL will still be displayed (and we can do-follow it now as it will be only one external link on the page).
The concept relies around optimizing the target page using title and H1 tag using the context of the comment. So basically we will take the excerpt of the comment and use it to create the page title and H1 tag and in the body we will old the content of the comment (plus some more goodies, read on).
Since now all comments normally drain page rank even when nofollowed (bad for your site) the whole idea of using them to generate links back to your site instead and get free indexable content along the way, looks just much more appealing.
To spice things up, the dynamic comment page concept additionally features:
- List of author's other comments on the post are presented (good value for the visitor, more content)
- List of author's other comments on the blog (even more content, chance to interlink to your other posts, more value to the visitor)
- Author url links are do-followed (option, but why not?)
- Extra few clicks generated will increase your pageviews, lower the bounce rate and increase any CPM advertising revenue
- I have also created a mod for hugely popular XML sitemaps plugin to include all the new dynamic comment pages into your sitemap, so that the search engines can index the pages more quickly. Download the modified files here and replace them in the plugin folder (works for plugin version 3.1.2, experts only!)
Download
Installation & Usage
- Upload the whole plugin folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder.
- Go to the Plugins page and activate the plugin.
- Use the Options page to change your options
- That is all. You can check your posts for new links.
New from version 0.6
I added the option to specify 'friendly' websites that have their links intact, and also dofollowed.
This adds you the possibility to send some of your high ranking page PR juice to a friendly site.

This is a great way to get better search engine rankings... Great idea!
Nice Plugin,thanx for the info, really informative
very nice plugin i like it :)
I am lost about the last step in your instruction "Download the modified files here and replace them in the plugin folder (works for plugin version 3.1.2, experts only!)".
Do you mean "replace in SEO Super Comments Folder' OR 'replace in Google XML file folder'?
I will be happy to get a clarification.
This plugin DOES NOT provide "...big jump in site's index visible to search engines..." Google already indexes the comments with the post. Creating dynamic pages for comments is simply duplicate content.
The increase to my (very busy) site, several days after I installed this plugin? ZERO "jump" of any kind! (And yes the plugin is creating those dynamic comment pages). Google DID NOT index or improve visibility, because (I assume again) it's duplicate content.
Thanks for sharing ! I recommend it.
nice plugin i will try to use to,thanks for sharing
i have just installed it . thanks
Hi, I have installed but I see that the comment page inside title () is pointing to a bad url.
You can see here: http://comoeducarauncachorro.com/blog/la-adolescencia-en-el-cachorro.html?cid=101

Where I can to change to solve this?
Thank you in advance.

Does this work on WordPress 3.0 multisite?
Hi, Vladimir - it's a bit hard to comb through the numerous comments to see if anyone asked you this.
As I am sure you know, WP seems to noindex all dynamic pages, including the ones your plugin produces.
I followed your directions to add remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical'); to the functions.php file, but it didn't seem to work.
Suggestions?
Thanks!

I see it is somewhat beside the topic but is there anyone who can help with a rattling safe computer for t get started with WordPress? Not their formal site

When are you going to update this plugin to officially be compatible with wordpress 3.x?
It is compatible I just need to update the version number. With SO much on my hands this plugin is third in queue for the update.
I think this sound plugin concept sounds like a fantastic idea. But I agree, I'm a little hesitant to begin using it seeing that the WordPress Plugin Repo says that it was last updated in 2009, over a year ago.

Using the plugin now, lets see how it performs. Thanks!
Vladimir,
Thank you for all of these plug-ins. Also, I just finished your book. Although I doubt I'll be writing any plug-ins, I am glad for the knowledge and know-how your book provided me. Thanks again!
You are very welcome Sara!

Really Good Plugin !! I am using your plug in in my personal Blog
Thank you
Fantastic plugin! Works like a charm!
I have one question though, can I enable this to only link to original comments and not the replies of those comments? For example, my first commenter on a post would get linked, but anyone who replies to him as a nested comment would not.
