Google Probably Thinks Your Blog is About Disqus

• ilamont 13y ago
  Another reason not to use Disqus, in addition to: * Slow load times * Overzealous spam triggers * Poor Twitter/Facebook integration Yes, this is only one user's experience but it's enough to make me stop leaving comments on publishers' websites.

    Aside from rolling your own, what are some good alternatives?

  That's strange. Shouldn't Google be using frequency analysis to determine likely key words? Shouldn't "Disqus" appear so often on high-value sites that Google decides the word is virtually content-free?

    it probably does, webmaster tools shows keywords that are common, which doesn't mean they are meaningful. That information is mostly to check that you are not missing out your keywords completely. For example, any tumblr blog will have "ask", "submit" and "liked" as the most common words, even though they will have zero weight in your positioning, the links they are in are likely marked as nofollow and they are blocked in robots.txt

  Ironically, now that he's gotten this posted to Hacker News, his blog really _is_ going to be about Disqus now.
