Disqus 2012 comments NOT being indexed by Google
- by Buckers
We run a high-traffic website at http://www.onedirection.net and we've been using Disqus throughout this year, initially to great effect.
We accepted the upgrade to Disqus 2012 back in June, loving the increased user experience and the better community feel - albeit back to an Iframe again. However the fact we were specifically told that the comments are now being indexed by Google was great, and the dynamic nature of the iFrame suited our site (all our pages are cached, so by using Disqus the comments are updated straight away).
However, it seems that the Disqus 2012 comments are not being indexed, and we've noticed an obvious fall in traffic over the last few months. Initially we didn't put this down to Disqus and focused on other issues (Google algorithm updates etc). But we're quickly coming down the reasoning that our pages now contain less indexable text, and we are getting less traffic because of this.
We've tried emailing Disqus directly but they're very slow and don't seem keen to help.
Any thoughts on this?
