Is Facebook Comments Platform good? (10 posts)

  • Do you think having Facebook comments platform on your blog helps more when compared to other commenting platforms such as Disqus?
    I know you can comment in an anonymous way in Disqus but recently been told that it fails to do SEO for comments. What are your thoughts guys :)

  • I would suppose the sheer volume of Facebook users would be of some value, @prasantnaidu Of course the big question is can you friend a lot of the 800 million to benefit.

  • @durkbarton my blog focusses mainly on indian social media so dont u think having a facebook comments pluggin will help me to pull more crowd.and does facebook gives some special preference to facebook comments?

  • You may be in one of those, “sweet spot”, situations Prasant. Yes, I’m sure that if you blog regularly a facebook comments pluggin will be quite helpful. Check on the number of others who are also blogging on your topics to see if you have competition.

  • @prasantnaidu @durkbarton We actually have a huge thread on commenting systems which I’m pretty sure covers Facebook too.  :)

  • Hi @prasantnaidu,

    I dont use Facebook comment system but I do like it. I like it because comments on your blog are displayed on Facebook, and comments on Facebook are displayed on your blog.

    Livefyre does something similar but I found it to be spotty.

  • true @dino-dogan :) disqus does the same but even it allows fb sharing. do u think fb comments platform gets more preference.

  • thanks @kristi-hines, I should have checked it. Will move to the said thread :)

  • @prasantnaidu It really depends on your audience. One way to check is to look at your Google Analytics and if Facebook is one of your best traffic drivers, then it’s likely that FB comment system is the right choice.

  • @dino-dogan thanks :) you just made a point that i was thinking off. yes since i write about indian sm, my audience is mostly from Facebook. will experiment :)
