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.

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

That will cut down on comment spam.

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.

Thanks for that info Michael. I've spoken to the folks @ Disqus and there 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.

I really admire disqus…It really is helpful to bloggers like me.

Thanks .
Great posting . Disqus rocks !

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.

[...] Disqus Gives Spammers A DoFollow Thanksgiving Feast [...]

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

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

its going good for theme for a while

you can figure out how to add nofollow to disqus.just search google…

It is kind of abusing if people manipulate the disqus as a tool to do spamming. Giving dofollow or nofollow to me is not an issue, the issue is how people give the comments and appreciate article posted by the blog owner.

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 …!

I've generally read over this article, and I find some of the things you've displayed very hard to recognise. Please elaborate on that more, and then contact me back at http://www.hostreviewer.org/. I'm hoping to subscribe, and find something to read – but I just can't seem to like things that aren't very detailed.

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

great. thanks

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.

nice article! nice site. you're in my rss feed now
keep it up

nice article! nice site. you're in my rss feed now

nice article! nice site. you're in my rss feed now

I am very much impressed with Disqus!

Disqus, in my opinion is the future of commenting. It simplifies that work of the webmaster and makes everything much much simpler.

I love Disqus, even with the potential for spam and the one or two caveats it is still a great system.

Thanks for the great tips and info. I really think your blog is nice

yes, disqus have nofollow tag and I agree with Dinflux Ed. if you can remove it, I think it wil reduce the spammer

I completely agree with you on this Loren! I am loving Disqus!!!!!

[...] Disqus Gives Spammers A DoFollow Thanksgiving Feast (knightknetwork.com) [...]

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

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.

I think Disqus is going to be the next best thing in commenting. It's great at stopping spam !

The spam is most likely due to a post in a forum which catapulted the idea. I am not gonna lie, I do it. But you are right, I have seen comments that just do not fit.

Personally, I did not know it was an automatic dofollow. I did not care. I have heard there seems to be evidence that nofollow is also taken into the equation.

There used to be software that automatically does comment spam, and I am sure it is still out there. I guess it is a matter of staying on top of it.

You should try it yourself to promote your blog, but again… like you said, leave something relevant that “fits.” It has a better chance of sticking.

i luv your blog , you are on my rss reader now

I would also be interested to know this! kindly reply back Jangro! thanks in advance.

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?

Awesome information, thanks for posting.

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?

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.

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.

Disqus is great !
DISQUS allows the blogger to have greater control with comments. It's one of the useful tools that any blogger can have…………… : )

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..

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.

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.

Disqus has done wonders to the world of blog commenting. What a smart product and am glad to see they are making improvements.

I agree that Disqus makes it easier for spammers, but it also makes it easier for the regular commenter as well. It would be nice if their was a way to weed out the really spammy posts.. where nothing on-topic is being said at all.

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.

Well, it's really interesting, but where can I get Disqus to install? How much does it cost?

I can understand the frustration with spam sometimes. But even with nofollow you can still recieve spam. I agree with a previous post below that states if the post is on topic, why not keep it?

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

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

You do not have to use disqus, there are other ways such as word press. I dont know why so many bloggers are using disqus frankly, there are many other systems around with more features, such as drupal also.

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

This site is good and great and thanks to disqus. Keep up the good work

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.

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?

No there is not much of concern on dofollow or nofollow as far as the comments are on topic and makes sense to be there on your blog..

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.

We can't avoid the number of spammers on the net. All we can do is minimize the number of those spammers.

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

It is a good option for webmasters to promote their website and at the same time to bring some values to the blogging community.

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..

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

Have to say I do agree. Things like this just are what they are.

In whatever case Disqus is the best and I am going to keep using it..

I am sure they will come up with the right solution.

I think Disqus is going to be the next best thing in commenting. It's great at stopping spam !

Can discuss can you used in the tblog?

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.

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.

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.

Jessica:-))

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

If you take a look at the page source and search for iphone and discount office supplies you’ll see some nice mocospace.com free dofollow links headed off to the spammer’s sites. This makes me unhappy – unhappy customers uninstall. Given the nature of SEO, where an outgoing link from your blog counts as

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

I am little curious to know more about it.

Great post on not spamming using the Disqus Comments feature.

That will cut down on comment spam.

great post to stop spamming….

Disqus goes great with Facebook awesome work Disqus.

Disqus is such a great comment plug-in I am a blogger and I always used to Disqus for commenting.Disqus is a measure to prevent spammers…

Such a great posts and I find Disqus a very good commenting plug-in. You can always check back your comments because Disqus compiles all your entries…so, it's easier to see and follow your comments..

Disqus is too great commenting plug-in because Disqus has built-in effective protection against comment spam.

I totally agree with you. I'm glad to see they enabled the no follow tags on their platform now.

Great post, disqus has setup an approve option so you can edit the post or what not that can help slow down the spammers and do follow.

DISQUS allows readers to easily track conversation as users can reply to comments, which are grouped together. Users can also rate comments.

I am a blogger and I used to DISQUS for commenting .DISQUS adds Friendfeed it's such a nice thing to other blogger..

Well I have NoFollow FREE installed and it doesn't work with Disqus, a point I just found out from a commentor. I have temporarily disable Disgus, which bums me out because I really like it.

I want to have the option to have NoFollow FREE work with Disqus as I monitor all comments anyway and if they are spammy they don't get approved.

I will have to see how I can get these 2 to place nice together.

Thanks for the article, I will check back to see what's going on with Disgus and the others you mentioned.

i also love to use disqus comment system everyone know that now they are providing plugins with nofollow tags, thanks

Disqus has ability to import existing comments as well as export comments. I didn't lose any comments when I moved to Disqus..Disqus is really good stuff methinks!

Wow, Sir, it's a good move. DISQUS is a good tool. I really hope that you have a great time with it.

Well I think its easy to manage the comments section using Disqus Comment, its more reliable than other comment plug-in. Thanks

I liked your article very useful to me.Free backlink dofollow PR7 addlink addurl,Linking to websites and free backlinks submit url detail and title to website.

Disqus is a great tool. It can easily be installed. I've read great reviews about disqus but there are some people who are not found of using it as they say the comments are not hosted by them but hosted by disqus. Not sure about this much as i've not used it personally but i'll definitely look into it and review disqus as a comment tool and what its pros and cons.

It's good that its now nofollow. It really was a breeding ground for spammers until then. It should be no follow by default with the option to change to do follow only if the bloggers chooses.

If spammers will get dofollow thanksgiving then they would also like to have their site link with that dofollow comment

Disqus removed the nofollow tag for more than just Thanksgiving. Indeed, many people benefited from that and I wonder if Disqus is prepared to make this an annual tradition.

I completely agree with the above comment, the internet is with a doubt growing into the most important medium of communication across the globe and its due to sites like this that ideas are spreading so quickly….Virtual Assistant

That's why I don't use Disqus and instead opt for regular WordPress comments functionality with a mix of WP-Spamfree!

Disqus is good commenting platform, but people shouldn't misuse it!

It should be no follow by default with the option to change to do follow only if the bloggers chooses.

ya it was a really great post and really helping us

Personally, I dont think there is anything wrong in having dofollow on a blog, especially if there are good comments being left

I tend to agree but only if you have the time to closely monitor the comments and screen them. For larger blogs I find its somewhat impractical.

I have never had to manage a large blog so realise there must be time demands, but I think search engines still follow the no follow links.

yeah,i am a big fan of the Disqus commenting system.

I am also a big fan of the Disqus commenting system,.

you are so right

Disqus is still nofollow:(

Indeed but this can be changed by the site owner
