Disqus and SEO

[NicheGuy]

It seems Disqus commenting system has grown and evolved so to make it easier to comment I've installed it on my 14 sites. I find moderation becomes much easier.

Is Disqus SEO friendly and a part of an SEO process? (I checked the topic and only found one's dated back to 2011).

Thanks,

Don

Check to see if it's using an iFrame. If so, then it's not contributing to SEO. It's not hurting your SEO effort, but it's not giving a boost.

I use Facebook comments. Every time someone comments, the URL gets a share. How else would I get over 100+ Likes for my contact page? http://www.shipoverseas.com/us/contact-us.html

Whether you use Disqus or Facebook Comments, whether it gives you an SEO boost or not, just do it for more more interaction with your audience.

An interesting aspect of Disqus is you can monetize it. In addition, it provides a short list of topics from your site and "around the web" below the comments.

I have received traffic from Disqus to my variety of sites and some has earned a few pennies. It's the traffic that interests me.
