How do you interact with your visitors or get feedback from them? Absolutely when we think about getting feedback, you will definitely think about commenting feature. It may available by default or you may have already implemented commenting feature on your blog or website for your visitors to send feedback, ask questions or to interact with you regarding your content. However do you like the default commenting feature available on your site? Or looking for adding commenting feature? If so, would you like to give it more stylish look and let your visitors comment via their Facebook login without any sign up process?
Facebook offers various type of social plugins such as Recommended Box, Activity plugin which integrates exclusive social features related to Facebook. As a webmaster, Facebook comment social plugin is another useful plugin if you are looking forward to add stylish and convenient way for your visitors to comment on your website. Facebook is place where most people engaged in and your visitors can comment using their existing accounts. It works as exactly you comment on Facebook and notifications will posted to relevant Facebook user on his news feed. Also Facebook plugin offers more settings such as moderation capabilities, comment using other login providers. So it will increase visitor engagement for your content and as now search engines crawl Facebook comments, visitors will tend to post comments too.
But if you wish to migrate or change your domain, Facebook plugin will not render existing comments as it populates comments only for the URL that comments have been made. And Facebook comment plugin still doesn't provide a way to migrate your existing comments. If it's not a problem or if you are not wishing to migrate, it would be the best option for you to increase engagement of your visitors. However we have already discussed implementing comment plugin in Blogger and if you are on another platform, you can find how to customize and implement it on your blog or website.
