What blog comment system do the leading SEO specialists use?
So here is an experiment. I searched for “seo blog” and looked at the top 10 sites to see what they do. Maybe we can learn something from SEO blog comments.
Moz
- Using a custom comment system.
SEOBook
- You have to log in to find out. I haven’t bothered as yet.
SeoNick
- WordPress comments with a “NOT a spammer” checkbox. Seems to be provided by OneAll Social Login WordPress plugin. A social login service which has a free tier and different pricing tiers.
SearchEngineLand
- Disqus WordPress Plugin
BlogTyrant
- Looks like it has standard comments, but there does not seem to be a way to comment as an anonymous user. I can’t see anywhere mentioning you need to log in, but maybe you can comment if you do.
Inc
- They seem to have their own commenting system.
SearchEngineWatch
- Disqus
GravitateDesign
- Standard comment system
Number 9 was Support at Google for Blogger which has no comments
Blog HubSpot
- Custom comment system? So they are using mainly local comment systems, rather than a third party comment system like Facebook or Disqus.
I remember reading blog posts about this and a few bloggers seemed to be moving away from systems like Disqus and back to their own WordPress comments.
