    Just trying to decide which is better overall for Seo versus user experience, engagement?

    I have a new Blog with the default commenting set were people enter their name, email, website etc, I know this is great for SEO but as the Blog is new with growing traffic I am not getting much interaction on blog post and with this old school way of commenting may not be helping, or my content :)

    Any suggestions are welcome..

    I guess you should go with disqus, because it has a unique way for stop your comment for moderation, if they have any external links or spam. Facebook on other and can only display the person's profile, so not many commentators will use that option.

    Doubt the lack of interaction has anything to do with the default blog comment system you are using.

    Thanks, dcristo, I think I will leave the default commenting now as most people who comment don't have websites, just a hobby for most, but will future websites I will use Disqus,

    Yes this is true, but as it's a new enough website, traffic is slow, but I am happy with the comments been left at the moment, but I hear you, more engaging content needed :)

    I prefer to using default blog commenting system. Disqus quite slow down your site sometimes.
