Isn’t it nice when your readers frequently leave very good comments in your post? It feels like you want to give them great rewards. However, the quality and the mediocre commentators get the same reward when they comment on your blog:
Exposure and Link.
But then, we want to give our quality commentators better rewards, better edge to separate them from the mediocre commentators. Or better yet, we want to SPOIL THEM! – Positively.
So here are some ways to spoil your quality commentators.
1. Recent Comments:
I believe WordPress has a built-in Get Recent Comments widget. By putting this widget, you’re showcasing your latest commentators. The more frequent they comment, the more exposure they’ll get.
**Note: Get recent comments widget also place the link of your posts that are commented. This is also a good exposure for your post and it also sends some link-juice to that post.
2. Top Commentators:
There’s a plug-in called Top Commentators that showcases your top commentators based on the number of comments they post. This rather the same with Get Recent Comments, the only difference is the top commentators’ name will be sticky. Meaning more and constant link + exposure for them.
3. Best Commentator/s Of The Month:
Perhaps you can dedicate a post for the best commentator/s of your blog for the month. You may brand them as your “Best of the Best” commentator or your “Top 10 Best Commentators.” Make a review of them and their sites to show deeper gratitude for giving quality comments on your posts.
4. Best Commentator Button:
Award your best commentators with a button which they can display on their blog. This button shall symbolize how the blogger gives quality comments and may help increase their reputation as a blogger/commentator.
5. Show Personal Gratitude:
Show your sincerity by showing your gratitude in a more personal manner. You can send a “Thank You” email for your very first commentators. Or better yet, a “Thank You” flowers.
6. Give Them Some Juice!:
I believe this is the ultimate spoiler. Give out some link-juice to your best commentators! However, WordPress tagged comments as No-Follow by default. This will prevent link leakage and abuse of the comments section. You can use the plug-in called ‘No-Follow Case by Case‘ to strip off no-follow in comments. You can also selectively apply no-follow to comments you don’t wish to give juices.

Better commentators definitely deserves a better treatment.
How do you spoil your commentators?
P.S. I already installed No-Follow Case By Case. Orange juice anyone? Cheers!
