Commentluv is a great plugin which can be used to persuade your visitors to comment on your blog and as per link building point of view, I used it to gain backlinks for my blog posts.
But lately I found that whenever I make a comment the Commentluv gives an errors displaying “No recent posts” message. Well, for the first few times I thought that it is just a temporary plugin error, but when it continued to pester me, I realized that something is wrong and soon figured out that I have been banned by Commentluv.
Commentluv uses your email id and blog’s feed address to find your recent posts and mentioned it after your comment.If you have signed up for Commentluv at its website then you will have an option of choosing the blog post you want to display. You can sign up here : CommentLuv.
Why was I banned ?
Well at first I found the idea of being banned pretty silly as I NEVER spam any of my content, which seemed to be the cause of being banned. I never actually found why was I banned but here are two reasons which might be possible for getting banned :
First, I didn’t realize that I was using a URL different in Commentluv and a different URL while making a comment. The difference was I used the following type of URL : http://techfudge.net while commenting and the following type of URL while signing up at commentluv : http://www.techfudge.net. You might not observe any significant difference but it might amuse you that these two are absolutely different URLs.
Second, my site could have been temporarily banned because my blog didn’t return a recent feed item. Now in order to prevent their server resources, it is feasible for them to ban your site temporarily.
How to unban my site ?
Now that you know what could be the possible reasons that you were banned, its time to let you know how to fix this problem. Just login to the comment luv members section, sign up if you are not signed up and then you can visits the following link to unban your site and enter the url of your site + hit submit. That’s it, now you have your site unbanned from commentluv, try making some comments here and check if its working fine

Hi Karan, I have encountered this same problem. But I am not sure why they have banned me. Anyways, I tried all the methods they have mentioned in their FAQ’a and I have unbanned myself.
Thanks for your feedback, Sathish.
I don’t know about commentluv. But if it is useful I will try it and thanks for giving a solution in advance.
Well, in that case I think my article helped you then
I too notified that “No last blog posts…” “comment on blog post xyz.com/abcxy…” and i thought that is some network error in feeds, i will try this possible way to solve that…
Sure and do tell us if you got it fixed(obviously).
I was not aware of this fact tat people get banned in comment luv as well. Thanks for this article mate.
Thanks for your comment.
I have been encountering this problem for days…even now as I comment. I am following your link, hope it fixes it!
Best of luck, Vivek!
I got myself unbanned from commentluv but still it shows no blog posts to return. What to do??
I think after unbanning yourself, you didn’t create a new post.
I was facing the same prob but now that I made this post, it is available up there.
I hope I have cleared your doubt.
At first I thought I was banned but later on I found that I am getting error message because of some code malfunction in header file and once it got fixed my log feeds are working like a charm.
Thanks for sharing your experience rayback!
Actually it is not banned, if they are showing no recent post.. Actually CommLuv have some restriction. You can not use it for n times in single min. There is a limit and then you will get error for next few mins.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for your comment Pankaj.
thanks Karan, it is a useful tips for us blogger. i haven’t encountered such things yet, but who knows. your tips must help me in future!
I love the commentluv plug in – it really does Commentluv Enabled drive traffic. Shame is that i moved to a plug in blog attached to my ecommerce solution!! I’ll have to see if i can set Enable Commentluv it to do follow if it isn’t automatically.
yeah comluv shows an aeeorror many times whn it is not able to get the feed but yes unbanning the url solves the issue
I just installed Comment Luv on one of my blogs… I’m still waiting to see traffic increases, I hope they come soon…
