Hello guys. Do you happen to know if there is a way to decide whether to noindex user comments or not? Either a specific plugin, a setting in the AIOSEO plugin, or WordPress ge

Hi Orazio
According to John Mueller, Google spokesman, nowadays they "take comments into account" when they index a page. He didn't talk about indexing or noindexing comments however. So it is not clear if Google actually indexes comments or not.

They do take the number of words into account in comments and take note of LSI words and phrases. LSI is Latent Semantic Indexing which in simple English means relevant keywords or phrases.

He indicates that the number of words in comments can improve ranking for very short posts if the total words increases to more than 600.

So the main value in comments is in any LSI words or phrases.

They indicate (they do not recommend) that comments that are not relevant to the topic of the post could be deleted.

There are ways to noindex pages and posts but I cannot find a way to automatically noindex comments without coding. So I have no experience of the return you are getting from Ubersuggest (I use it too occasionally).

If a page or post is set up as noindex then the comments are not crawled either.

So unless a post is very short and the word count in "bad" comments are needed to boost numbers, I do not know why I would keep such a comment.

I hope this is useful.

Thanks a lot for this precious information, Richard. All my main posts appear in Google rankings and are marked as indexed by Ubersuggest but the pages linking to each comment are not. Maybe I am overthinking this. Maybe Google considers the comments as part of the whole page and that's why WordPress automatically 'noindexes' the individual comment posts to avoid duplicate posts, which can be bad for SEO. I use the pro version of Ubersuggest because I think it's the closest thing to SEMRush without paying too much for a subscription.

How do you know your comments are not being indexed

I use a SEO audit tool called Ubersuggest (basically an economy version of SEM Rush) and it tells me which pages are 'noindexed' among other things.

Is it the whole page or just the comments

Just the comments and my reply to the comments. I actually like the fact that most comments are noindexed but I would like to index some high quality comments that can be good for search rankings.

I did not know it was possible to no index comments I thought if the page was indexed then the comments would be indexed I have looked in AIOSEO and there does not seem to be anything about no indexing comments

I did some research and it seems comments have to be in rendered HTML but I am unsure how to make that happen

Yeah me too. I was hoping for a plugin but I haven't found any.
