In most cases, blog comments are spammy and irrelevant when trying to rank a website

My question, do legitimate comments actually help your SEO rankings?

I think so. Public interation or UGC content is helpful for ranking. But most of the content you get might be spam. so filter it out and approve the genuine one.

Comments don’t directly boost rankings, but they can keep pages fresh and increase user engagement, which helps indirectly.

ok that is good to know, I think that makes sense in general, if people legit read the content and care, should have a good impact.

Comments don’t directly push rankings, but real discussions add fresh content, keep users engaged, and signal activity to Google. If they’re genuine (not spam), they can indirectly help SEO while also building trust with readers.

cool, yup makes perfect sense

didn't think about the authority part, then its def good to build this out.

Legit comments don’t give direct SEO boost, but they are fresh content and engagement. They can bring long tail keywords and keep pages active. Google likes real user interaction. So genuine, relevant comments are helpful.

Legit comments don’t directly improve rankings, but they do help in a few ways:

Fresh content – new comments keep the page updated in Google’s eyes.

Engagement signals – shows your site is active and trusted.

Community building – more trust, shares, and even backlinks.

This is my point of view. Others can differ

I like the engagement signal, I think at the very least it would boost sales. thx!

Comments are not helpful for rank, But legitimate comments actually help to identify your site
as legitimate site and user trust the site, hence they coming back frequently. If you have active community in your site and they frequently discuss that is good factors. But forget about WP comments which are automated are useless, You can add h-captcha or reCAPTCHA so you will get comment from real people.

There are some niches where you can expect comments from same users. Like if you have blog about make money online.

Honestly, direct impact on where you show up in search for just comments is minimal. The real value is the fresh, unique content people add and the time they spend on your site. This shows activity and can make your site look more alive to search engines. Focus on getting good content first, then encouraging real discussion.

In my experience, blog comments don’t directly boost SEO, but real comments can help with user engagement and keep the content fresh. Spam definitely hurts, so cleaning it up was a smart move.

Blog comments can impact SEO indirectly. Quality comments can add fresh, relevant content and increase engagement signals, which search engines like. However, spammy or irrelevant comments with bad links can hurt your site. Always moderate and keep them genuine for the best results.
