DISQUS

jangro · 1 year ago

keep in mind that the hack I developed is on the older beta version of their plugin.

The same methods probably apply, but I haven't tried it. Let me know how it goes. I want to do the same.

jangro, currently disqus's default setting is nofollow. Any idea how to change it to dofollow?

I think it's in the control panel settings.

J Codreano · 1 week ago

Yes, as pomeranian said, it's in the CP settings.

Why don't you just not accept keywords for a persons name?

That will cut down on comment spam.

Michael Koenig · 1 year ago

I hope you don't mind me hopping in here. IntenseDebate supports nofollow. With our WordPress plugin we output the WordPress comments in the noscript tag so if you had nofollow prior to IntenseDebate it will still be nofollow.

KnightKnetwork · 1 year ago

Thanks for that info Michael. I've spoken to the folks @ Disqus and they're are making a change for this now and i expect to see it soon.

The joker who posted the comments on DigitalPoint forum ought to be shot. He gave clear cut instructions on how to spam your blog. More importanty, he specifically listed so many of your domains. I think there was another shiya blog he listed.

edrabbit · 1 year ago

I just recently realized this too, after having "Racing School" commenting all over my blog all of a sudden. Kind of tweaked that Disqus doesn't have nofollow set by default.

KnightKnetwork · 1 year ago

I've been told by the staff that they've made a change to handle nofollow, but I haven't seen anything yet so perhaps the next Wordpress plugin release will have it included

malcolm coles · 11 months ago

With Intense debate URLs look like dofollow with JS on - but with off, they are nofollow. I think they should put up a big sign telling low-grade blog spammers this to make them give up ...!

Dinflux Ed · 11 months ago

if you could remove "powered by disqus" that would work too,because that is the way you can find disqus blogs

Disqus is the revolution of commenting in web 2.0. A definite move up from the standard blog comment system, its just a shame that they have this one minor flaw to deal with, and it seems like something so simple.

Free Articles · 10 months ago

Just wondering though, if the comments were on topic and relevant to the blog post, is allowing a dofollow necessarily a bad thing?

KnightKnetwork · 10 months ago

It really depends - a halfhearted spammy comment that hits some keywords is
not something that I'm interested in. If someone comes for the link but
reads the post and adds interest or value then it's not a bad thing at all.

ssokolenko · 10 months ago

David, i am evaluating Disqus from a SEO perspective. I did a few searches for specific phrases and found that older comments were credited to Disqus subdomains (i used your posts for research); the newer ones however are crediting your own domain. Is that the new Wordpress functionality you are talking about?

KnightKnetwork · 10 months ago

I can't say for certain, but that's probably it. I know they made some changes to improve SEO results for the sites and as long as you use the newest versions of the WP plugin the comments will be crawlable on your site where the older javascript versions were not.

Portfolios · 10 months ago

I don't understand the problem, as long as the comment is on-topic and adds to the conversation, whyt not let them have a free backlink?

KnightKnetwork · 10 months ago

That situation isn't the problem. The repeated spamming of my higher page rank pages and certain keyword specific posts with obviously spammy comments is a problem. It detracts from any real conversation and wastes my time. You're here for the free link, not the content, and not the conversation. If you were then you would have noticed that someone asked this exact question already and you wouldn't be commenting on other random old posts of sites using Disqus.

A link from my site is a "vote" from me, that I don't have control of that is a huge problem.

Nofollow is an option. I'd guess 70 % of all blogs using Disqus are nofollow.

Vancouver Web Design · 9 months ago

How do we actually know if it is nofollow and dofollow and does it really make so much of difference..

Traffic Geyser · 10 months ago

Spam feast, LOL, but you can just easily remove any unwanted comments, if you don't like them to gain backlinks from your, and mostly if they were just spams, Disqus is still the best comment system for me, it creates a friendly environment wherein quality comments are appreciated..

Body building forum · 10 months ago

Whether you have nofollow or not or wordpress or not youll get a ton of spam. I just leave all the comments on my blogs as long as they say something meaningful.

SEO Guru · 9 months ago

Disqus brings people to comment on your blog, if you dont have disqus go back in hole and never climb out. Thats why disqus have dofollow so people come to talk about your stuff and if you dont like it you remove comments. I think its better than not commenting at all.

Candida Cleanse · 9 months ago

I dont bother much on the dofollow or nofollow aspect.
Disqus is a great content mgmt tool and has just my life easier. All I am bothered is to make sure the comment is relevant to the post I have made and has a valid appreciation or valid addition or point to make.
As long as I have people reading my post seriously and making a valid comment everything is fine.

Jordan · 9 months ago

if i were you i would look into the wordpress plugin that will auto disable dofollow

Jag XK · 9 months ago

I won't worry so much about the dofollow or nofollow attribute on the comment thread. As long as the comments left are relevant enough then let disqus do its job.

illawarra web design · 9 months ago

Disqus default has is do follow that's why it attracts spammers to comment on our blogs, I'm also using disqus but I put no follow attribute just avoid spam comments to come in my blog, but currently there are setting where in we can moderate comments on disqus right?

froggertv · 8 months ago

Yes the comments can be moderated. i would strongly support the dofollow movement and urge you not to go nofollow because of few bloody spammers.

Mattresses · 9 months ago

I have not used Disqus yet, but do you mean there is no way to make the links Nofollow in Disqus, I am sure there should be a way if not then it is sad.

Clarityx · 8 months ago

I agree with SEO Guru, and want to admit that it is wonderful, when people are interested in your blog, do comments; This work Disqus make excellent. If you think, that comment is a spam, just delete it, and all the work is done

Miami Marketing · 8 months ago

Disqus may seem to be one of the best commenting system but they still have some minor flaws to deal with, like this one spammers can dig upon your past entries that has high PR, one way to solve this is to close the comment box..

Acne Treatment · 8 months ago

I dont agree closing the comment box could be a solution.. we should find a better solution for this.

I agree, there is this new thing added to disqus, blog comments are no longer dofollow! I am kind of disappointed now but still I love it.

I find Disqus a very good commenting plugin. You can always check back your comments because Disqus compiles all your entries...so, it's easier to see and follow your comments.

mwasif84 · 8 months ago

there might be be any other blogging system which provides dofollow comments :).

Aryansolankey · 7 months ago

I still unable to remove do not follow from my disqus thread. so I soon going to change my comment system.
