Disqus Wordpress Plugins Confusing Googlebot


Disqus has always been a challenged for Google but several months ago, they made their commenting rendering engine more search engine friendly - but many were not convinced. That being said, recently, several bloggers noticed an unusual spike in 404 errors reported by Google Webmaster Tools. They dug into the issue and it seemed like it was coming from the Disqus commenting engine.

It is believe, these 404 crawl errors are due to search engines like Google trying to crawl dynamic JavaScript-assembled links coded in the Disqus Wordpress plugins. Google is taking steps to resolve it.
