Blog Comment Sofware
-
Looking into allowing comments on a business blog: mysite.com/blog. Which is the best software to use to allow readers to leave a comment? (Use wordpress) One that will help eliminate spam. Are there some that allow you to sign in without social accounts (Facebook etc) and are there some that allow you to sign in with social accounts?
Thanks

I haven't got experience with any plugins to help users login before posting but I definitely have experience with WP Blog comments and spammers, so hopefully, I could offer some helpful advice.
I've been accepting blog comments on our companies WP sites and one of the sites has received 6500+ comments, all from genuine readers. We did see a lot of spam at the beginning but I didn't want to make my readers jump through hoops to leave a comment.
I disabled the URL field and if you go to Settings > Discussions in the admin panel, you can list all the words that you would like flagged as spam. I'm currently approving 20+ comments daily and I see no spam in the pending section, all the spam is filtered into spam box and I empty it weekly.

New blog contributors
For context my website is a content resource portal. In SEO training I have been told that it is a good SEO move to have as many content contributors as possible. As a result we are pushing to recruit new content contributors so they can be listed as new contributors/authors on our site alongside their valuable content. Would this move be good for our SEO rankings and is there anything in particular to consider with this?

Web page or blog ? Which one is preferable
Hello, For one of our sites, 19 keywords are ranking on Home page. But, the home page doesn't have content with those keywords. I am afraid that with Google updates, we will eventually lose all the ranking position for these keywords. Should we ask the client to create blog around those keywords or create separate pages ? Thanks

Same content on site blog as a separate blog. Will unpublishing on one blog evade duplicate content issues?
I just discovered my client was posting the same content as the site I'm working on for him on a separate blog. I don't want to run into duplicate content issues. Both are Wordpress sites. Will it suffice to simply unpublish duplicate entries on the other blog and leave the posts as drafts?

Blog Repost?
We are a coupon site & occasionally have some updates to certain coupons that we post (maybe 24-28 hours after the original post). Is there any best practices to follow for reposting content? Here are a few thoughts: Would it be ok to use the same post, but just re-schedule it again to go out with the new updates? Should we create a new post & just reference the previous post?
