What’s the latest on removing login to comment?

In fact, comments are not good for seo! If the search engine reads the comments, it coult easily end up in worser rankings, because it dilutes your content. It whould be great, to set comments to "no follow".

@Christoph Heers Hmmm I guess that's a matter of opinion. I can see how obviously spammy or unrelated comments could be hindering... but I think relevant comments are good because they contain keywords and other phrases to add to the content already in my site.

@KristinCali Of course, but seo isnt all about spam keywords. There is offtopic, spam-links, wrong grammar etc, all of this can be negativ in comments. Nowadays there is bit more to do for a clean seo-structure, specially wdf*idf is something you need to have your eyes on. The time you "spam" the keyword in the alt-tags for pictures, in the headlines and content are gone. Comments are a great tool for your dna as a blogger and helps to let the crowd return for more clicks etc., but for seo? Not worthy a discussion in my opinion!

Thank you @Katrine Windfeld Jakobsen for sharing your needs. Possibility to comments without sign-up It is included in our features Wishlist and we are working on addressing that.

Thank you so much Simona. I know you guys listen and hear us. And always striving to improve. That’s why I’ve remained a loyal user and fierce defender of Wix for so long. But I thought we were already able to turn off commenting and add apps. I tried maybe 4 commenting apps and removed them all because they looked so cluttered. All of them. And again, they showed up on the main feed as well. I think you guys should improve upon your commenting system as the guest phase. Much cleaner and all our comments in one place. What do you use now as the commenting system for the Wix company blog Site? I like what you guys have

**first phase. not guest phase

@Veronica Hi Veronica, thank you for a thumbs up. Soon we'll launch the post page customisation which will allow to toggle-off elements like Wix comment system and use third-parties services. In the next iteration Wix comments system will be improved allowing to comment without the sign-up. As for the Wix company blog - we are using custom solution but are in the process of transitioning to Wix blog.
