    Same here Scott,

    I am sticking to API version for now. At lest on the blogs that I care for the most. Countless times visitors find my blogs through a keyword found in the comments but not in the body of the posts. But there is another thing with API that concerns me- duplicate content penalties. If you have comments here and on your forum over at Disqus, who gets the duplicate penalty? I am not even sure if this is such and important issue, but I have been on the roll over the duplicate content recently. Google Webmaster tolls has been reporting duplicate content as far as metatags concerned - I believe titles, keywords and description. I have increased dramatically the SE rankings just eliminating those dupes.

    It's too bad they don't update API version.

    I agree with you that comments are getting more important these days. Thats why its important to present your article in such that it generates discussion, rather than just allow the readers to just take and not give.

    Just saw this on Twitter from Disqus' @danielha:

    "danielha: @duncanriley I agree. Looks like you're using the (outdated) API version. A new one is imminent"

    Looks cool, but I'm getting worried about putting yet another WP plugin on my site. reply

    I share your concern over the duplicate content, Vlad, though I'm not overly concerned. The actual blog post should help.

    Disqus should give an option to put a noindex on their forum pages.

    'In my opinion, comments are the life-blood of an active blog and not only do they show readers that there’s a vibrant community behind a blog, it gives search engines more to work with.'
    Agree with this.
