The reason I simply avoid using Facebook comments (after pulling them via FB Graph API) is that I don’t want to give backlinks (though can be made nofollow, but still does have effects) to Facebook profiles. FB doesn’t need backlinks, surely. but If there are a lot of commentators, then there will be a lot of outbound links to FB, and I don’t think it’s a good idea.

I am interested to see if anyone has reaped any SEO benefits from this yet. I here they are also indexing Disqus comments and we occasionally see people throwing text links into our blog…..

Its been a big talking point as social and search meet. With FB comments being so widely use it was essential for them to start indexing the content.

No doubt that Google gets better all the time. Facebook and Twitter indexing is essential for Google to be updated all the time. Google also recently started reading through javascripts, previously not scanned them at all

Mmm, I am in two minds about testing facebook comments for the whole waste of SEO space reason. But … they do help with spam filtering via the auto-real-identity aspect of it all. Any more stories on this theme please let me know!

I hope people will not misuse this opportunity, that Google provide the SEO Community. It will lost its value, if the Spammers overdosed it.
