Getting Around The SEO Problem

I agree - this is really damaging to SEO.

I have heard it's possible to get this working - any ideas?

It works as Facebook comment and seems bad for SEO, right.

Maybe it is an possibility to retrieve the comments using JSON http://disqus.com/api/docs/reactions/list/ and to display them. Then you load the javascript and override the comment div with the disqus interactive comments. This would display the comments on non javascript viewers (like googlebot) and shows the interactive commenting system for javascript viewers.

@CarbonPig, that's 6' issue, please.

I have been working on this issue with the disqus_migrate module. It syncs comments from Disqus back into Drupal so you can display them server side. However, it seems that Google may be starting to index Disqus comments (as well as other AJAX comment systems), so it may no longer be a problem. I'll be keeping an eye on that.

Has anyone did something in this matter?

Hi all,
got in touch with disqus and they refereed me to this post: http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472125-data-synchronization

I guess the migrate sub-module already syncs the comments it would be great if it could render the comments as well per the "Fetch and render comments" on that post.

Google "Purple Alien Tour de France Winners" and then click through to "Is Disqus SEO Optimized? - Joel Tobey", read the comment thread. You'll see that this is a non-issue.

@thedavidmeister, what I see there is Wordpress and Disqus
mod, that produces comments in HTML source.

In Drupal's Discuss we have comments in Javascript - and it is
*still* the-issue :]

+1 I've been testing this and run into exactly the same issue.

There is a D7 version of this module here https://drupal.org/sandbox/dwkitchen/1483518

OK I've just spotted that that module is the export part only, and lacks the import functionality.
