    Hi

    I have comments script on my website, i use talkback script from oldguy and
    it works like dream, i really like it. Now the question is that does google and
    other search engines see this content made by the comments?

    1. Do google see it as normal content on your page, or just comment spamm.
    2. Do i get advantage if i have comments on my page?

    If google sees comments and ignores them, then naturally i need to make
    comments appear as normal content for google, any ideas?

    If possible i would like to get comments from only experienced seo guys and
    people that have experiences. I don\'t want to hear opinions of newbies cause
    this is a huge project and this comment thing is big part of it.

    Thank you for your time.

    yes comments are considered part of the content on the page...you lose credibility if you don't allow everyone to have a voice. When I read comments I can usually tell if they are censored...

    yes comments are seen by search engines provinding the page outputs html.

    whether or not it gives you an advantage having comments, it really all depends on how related are the comments to the page?
