Disadvantages

It would be better to always allow only no-follow link to commentators to keep your blog’s SEO high for Google.

Spam:

When I was testing it in my test blog, I was getting lots of spam. However using Akismet plugin helped me to fight against them as all of such comments was directly going to spam box but few of them which was done by real peoples was still in pending list, and most of them was like Thanks, It is great post, Nice Article etc. it directly proves that the commentator was only come to get link to their blog.

Many peoples will comment on your blog only for the link, so it will get harder to approve post because if your blog receive too high traffic than you will also get lots of junk upon your comment box.

Bounce rate:

You will see increase in bounce rate after start using this because most of peoples will only come to do comment on your blog, so they will leave immediately after they publish the comment. Bounce rate is also taking as important factor for advertising so it would be better to keep your blog’s bounce rate good and you can also read how you can improve your blog’s bounce rate.

Referral Traffic:

As most of your new visitors come from CommentLuv blog search and social networks, it will also increase your blog’s referral traffic which also an important factor for advertising, as most of advertisers like to get unique traffic and for this they see blogs organic traffic (search engine traffic) and if that is lower than they may not like to advertise with you, whether you have lots of traffic or too low.
