How many comments did you get on your blog so far?
Whats the ratio of number of comments to page views ?

Right, still lots of blogs (including mine, as Disqus is active) use this. I think disqus should have a way to disable ajax mode.

Thanks for explaining, I never really knew what the reasons were… ajax does suck pretty bad for comments.

I agree, if ajax was wrong so why it's massively used in the web and the fave site facebook, we use it there; maybe a few plugin incompatibility makes all the error.

I think this is more of a library/coding issue.
The page views is true, but for ads/etc I worked out a solution.

idk, I guess I just hate when people bash using AJAX when it's the coder's error.
(I spent alot of time making my own backwards compatible framework, lol)

True. Also, when you withdraw the Ajax mode from your comment section, you'll see replies are not nested as they were submitted, in case they exist, of course!

I also agree with Sajib. In my openion not only in comment no Ajax or any snippet of Java script is good for SEO. As google bot can not read Javascript or Ajax, so Ajaxed commenting system should avoid by the serious blogger. And the page impression is another great loss.

I used Ajax comment before and it looks cool and easy to comment.. later when I checked my blog posts and comments (few days later) all of my replies made to those posts are gone! Sad, but ajax on comments sucks!
