3rd Party Commenting System for Wordpress Blog
-
I'll be starting a new blog within a week, for that i'm thinking to implement a 3rd party comment system instead of default wordpress comment system. I'm thinking of Livefyre or Facebook Comment System. Mostly my heart is saying to go for Livefyre.
I'm in such a niche where i need more likes and sharing, so do you advice me to got for Facebook Commenting System.
What do you guys suggest and recommend. which is better? Pls do advice, thanks

Thank You Marie Haynes for the answer.
I too heard of Google Commenting System, But is it worth waiting till they release it? Should i go with the default wordpress commenting system till then?
Facebook Comments are now indexable. So isn't that a good option to go for it. I do agree that it's very difficult to moderate Facebook comments. But I think facebook commenting system will generate us tons of traffic, isn't that worth going for this?
Also, Can we use both facebook and default comment system in blog? If so How? How can we integrate both? Please do refer me to some useful articles on achieving this.

I'm a fan of disqus because even though it is a third party commenting system, the comments are still stored on your wordpress databases. Â So, if something were to happen to the company you wouldn't lose your comments.
Perhaps I'm missing something, but I found with Facebook comments that I couldn't figure out how to moderate them.
I've heard rumors that google is going to come out with a third party commenting system of their own, so I haven't been too quick to change to anything until that happens. Â It's debatable whether disqus comments are SEO friendly. Â (I think they have a new upgrade that is crawlable though). Â But you know that google comments will definitely be able to be crawled!

If I had the choice I'd go for Facebook Comments purely for the the social sharing.

What's a good way to find recent blog posts about a given topic?
Let's say I want to find blog posts posted in the past week or so about "key west". These posts could be on a personal blog, travel blog, etc. Google News is mostly news sites (not blogs) and Google blog search doesn't work any more. What other good options are there? So far Open site Explorer Just Discovered is the best option I've found, but there is a lot of other stuff mixed in with a few blog posts.

Difference in Forum and Blog for SEO
I was pushing my employer to agree to switch to add a blog onto our site and he asked me, what is the difference between the blog and a forum for SEO purposes. Besides the general look and feel and a forum being more community oriented, is a blog better than a forum for seo, and if so, why? It can be vice-versa I just need to fully understand this myself so I can begin to work on one and explain it to my employer. If anyone can provide any insight, it will be much appreciated.

Duplicate content problems, so why does WordPress post onto Tumblr?
Hi Everyone, Basically I know that if you have duplicate content your ranking is effected! This I understand, so why is it that WordPress has the option to post your blog entry straight onto your paired Tumblr account? Surely if this can be done, I can have the same content on the company website but also on WP and Tumblr? Or is there some sort of method to how it works specifically for those 2 websites? Thanks in advance.

Tagging Your Blog Posts - Useful?
Has anyone demonstrated measurable value from routinely tagging your posts? I am of the mindset that what is good for a user/reader is good for SEO and therefore the posts should be tagged. I wanted to see if anyone else had specific experience to the positive or negative.
