Are DISQUS comments backlinks indexed by Google?

[Freebetsuk]

I have just started commenting on DISQUS powered blogs and left a link to my website in the name field,but when i then look at the page "source"....i cannot see my backlink?

Basically are DISQUS COMMENTS backlinks worth getting?    YES/NO?

It is probably like facebook comments where it's an iframe. Either that or Disqus is stripping out the code.

No they are not indexed. The benefit of disqus is a great platform for discussion. You lose all content or links. I would go for facebook.

Answered to a similary question :

I see it this way: if the topic is about your webpage and you can add something valuable to the discussion then go for it, but see it as a way to build an audience and not so much links.

Even if the links are nofollowed or not indexed at all: nofollow-links are essential to a "natural" link profile, as most websites do have a number of nofollowed links (and even links from noindexed pages, which google crawls and "sees" nevertheless).

I tried searching on http://www.google.com for comments placed on the disqus tool and they don't show up. Just a piece of javascript.
