Comment Luv is a popular plugin for blogs. Whoever comments on a blog with this installed will have a live link to their own blog in every comment they leave. The link displays the title of the latest post of the commenter. Each time they make a new post on their own blog, the link updates on the other blogs (where they left the comment).
Therefore CommentLuv is some kind of valuable reward to the blog commenter.
Instead of only linking the commenters name with a (single) commenters site url, CommentLuv promotes more actively the commenters own work and posts.
