Comments in Plain HTML and SEO

[Zerokami]

I'm thinking Google might mark as low quality due to plain text comments.

I'm not really sure.

Is it possible to load over JS only like Disqus does.

Also, if some one could give an idea of wether comments in Plain HTML instead of dynamic js loading is good for SEO or not.

I think this should be mentioned in the Wiki.

Thanks! I'm using this project for my Wagtail blog to add comments.

Hi @Logmytech, sorry for the late reply.

I don't think loading comments over JS makes any difference SEO-wise. Loading the comments along within the HTML page doesn't harm SEO, as the content becomes available when the site is scraped in the first place. You could use the ReactJS plugin too. It loads the comments dynamically through Ajax once the page code has been fully loaded. I'm not an expert on the subject but as far as I know loading content dynamically is not a problem for SEO.

I do agree, extending the docs with a section on the subject would be great. I don't have much time lately, but I'll visit the topic in the future if nobody does.

Take a look at the tutorial to see how to use the ReactJS plugin. Let me know if that's what you were looking for.
