Google’s been making nioses about indexing JS content for a while now It’ll happen someday.I commented on Steve’s post, but I’ll comment here too.I think bloggers are approaching this issue from the wrong angle. You need to think about user VALUE (the readers of the blogs), not about how to maximize the marketing exposure of your blog. Nothing is better marketing than having a better product.Blog comments right now are pretty painful. They’re hard to follow threads, rife with spam (or self-promotion), hard to scan (in high volume), etc.But, if you’re going to be a slave to page views and exposure, you should consider the SEO/traffic benefits of Disqus. All of the pages actually provide a nice pile of incoming links from Disqus.com. They also promote lively conversations on their home page (more SEO juice) and presumably could eventually offer TechMeme-like aggregation of conversations around a topic (yet more promotion).Apparently, self-hosted folks can use the API rather than JS comments are perfectly SEO-friendly if you go this route.

It’s wonderful to see people working in Christ anyway they can. I can’t wait to see what else is put out here!!” – Shea B.“I got the birth signs today – thank you very much they look fabulous.
