List of Third-Party Comment Systems for Blogs And Websites
Bloggers who are using blogspot as their blogging platform can take the help of third-party comment system to enhance social interaction on their blog. Those who don’t like the default blogspot comment system can outsource their comment on external comment platform.
Self-hosted wordpress user can also use it. The benefits of using external comment system on is that on a high traffic site you will save significant amount of hosting server’s bandwith since the comment will be loaded from external site. Moreover, keywords density on your blog post will not be diluted because the external comment system uses javascript which google bots can’t read it.
Some of the popular third-comment systems are listed below with their features.
Disqus
For commenting life, it includes a real-time comment system, a notification and reply system, inline media commenting, and sending comments through mobile support. The community box can accommodate profiles of posters either within the site or from social networking sites, where comments can be linked and shared to other social pages. It has moderation tools, spam killers, and word filters, which can be accessed via online or through mobile apps. All comments, no matter what language, can be imported and exported, from and to other sites. It can be customized, and is SEO friendly.
IntenseDebate
It has comment threading that makes commenting on the topic, or to people, easy to distinguish. Commenters can be sent email notifications once response is recognized, which can also be responded through email. They can use profiles and reputation points to become famous, while moderation or blacklisting is optimized. It also has social site integration and RSS reader tracking.
Livefyre
It has a live commenting streaming, which accommodates comments, voting, ratings, nested replies, media inclusion, and moderation that can be accessible through online or mobile. Its moderator tool can flag comments, notify through email, and ban or white list users. Social media integration can utilize account username for login, can synchronize with social page, and can share comments direct to the social network. Communities can notify users and respond through email, has follow functions, and can use Gravatar for image profile.
The major drawback of livefyre is that you can’t comment using your name, email id and url. You must have a Livefyre account to make a comment on a blog or either way you can comment using twitter or facebook. This is actually good to kick out spammers but in the end you will loose many valuable commenters because there are many users who want to comment quickly on a blog and don’t want to waste their valuable time by logging into twitter, facebook or creating an account on Livefyre.
The best commenter software will depend on the user level of the individual. When you like to be famous, Livefyre is the best. If you like everything stuffed in one system, it should be Livefyre. Overall, it is definitely better than the blogspot’s default commenting system due to the many features and integration system that is all bundled in one nifty package, giving life, color, and movement to the art of commenting.
Personally I am using intense debate because it has a template similar to wordpress’ default comment system and I am getting more comment than before when I moved to intense debate from Disqus.

I used intensedebate on my blogspot blog, & just installed disqus on my wp blog.
The thing whcih i didnt liked is the person has to write the comment before he can specift which medium to use to comment.
I use Intense Debate because it supports commentluv. My blog is dofollow too.

Yes you can
I am a long term Disqus fan,just because they are pretty quick and if you get large amount of comments on your blog then all the comments are loaded quickly.Beside that I like commentluv.I do not know much about IntenseDebate though as I have not used it yet.

Needless to say, Disqus and IntenseDebate are two most popular commen systems. Both are pretty good, and I like using them.

Thanks for the article
I had seen these names in other blogs, but I did not know all the information you have sent to us!
Besides, I had not thought that the comments decrease the density of the keyword of a page

I guess those three are quite common, but I like disqus most! livefyre is not good enough because not all everyone would love to sign in..
I have the same thoughts like you. I think Disqus is the best among these comment systems.

I have known lots of new things for me in the post. I can now choose what is the best in fact for me.
I don’t think that it’s needed to replace WP commenting with 3rd party one. Adding extra JavaScript is not the best idea, as well this doesn’t give a lot of control on comments.
I’m a big fan of Disqus, and I have heard about IntenseDebate, but never used it. Any commenting I come across that uses LiveFyre I don’t comment on; I’m not a fan of it.

Finding commenting system to manage your comments is not that hard but you need to make sure that the one that you’re going to choose will be a perfect fit to your standard.
Thanks
