Question About Using Disqus

[sbrault74]

I'm thinking about implementing Disqus on my blog.

I'd like to know if the Disqus comments are indexed by search engines? It looks like they are displayed using Ajax or jQuery.

My understanding is that Disqus uses iframes for their comments, so they won't be crawled and indexed by Google.  This may have changed since I last checked, but I'm fairly certain it's still true.

I believe Disqus gives you the option to store your comments locally, check this out: http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472125-data-synchronization

Disqus doesn't use iframes. The content is displayed on page as HTML within a div tag.

We use Disqus for comments on the TranslateMedia blog.

If you view the source code you can see the comments in there.
