I'd like some suggestions as to what would be better SEO-wise - use comments pages or let all the comments extend on one page? For example, if you had 100 comments, you would either have 5 pages, each with 20 comments using some plug-in for wordpress or have all 100 on one page. I'm not sure how these type of plug-ins work but doesn't it mean that they would generate duplicate content (i.e. the post body replicated on each comment 'page'?). I'd like some feedback, Thanks
I prefer to have all comments on the same page, especially if you thread them properly: | Comment #1 --| Comment about above comment ----| Comment about above comment --| Comment about original comment | Comment # | Comment As opposed to the standard comment layout: | Comment | Comment | Comment | Comment | Comment If you use threaded comments, it could be a nightmare to build the code to display it across multiple pages.
I've seen a few websites that use pages for comments, and unless you're getting hundreds of comments on each post, then I don't really think it's necessary.
Ahhh.. is there a wordpress plug-in that allows these threaded comments automatically? The largest number of comments on a post are 600.. nightmare waiting for the page to load so I wnat to do something about it.
