Top 5 Comment Box Systems Bloggers Can Use - Webmasters
If you want to really enjoy more comments on your blog and make your
blog more interactive you must take some things into consideration.
1. Compatibility
2. Interactivity
3. Feed Back
It has to be compatible not only with your blog but also different Web browsers plus it has to be interactive and it should be able to alert you on new comments on your posts so you can reply the comments.
WordPress default comment box offers all of this.
Unfortunately Blogger doesn't offer 1.Compatibility.
You can never comment on a blog running with blogger's default comment box from a low end device. You must use a computer or a smartphone which is really bad. However There is a List Of Comment Box Systems that will be of help to you and your blog.
1. IntenseDebate
This is the comment box I'm using here on NaijaTechGuy. One thing I love most about it is that it's interactive and most of all compatible with all browsers even low end devices .
I don't need to over emphasize much on this since I'm using it on my blog and you can test how it works.
To install this on your blog register at http://intensedebate.com and follow the instructions there.
2. DISQUS
Disqus Is used by over 750,000 websites even by News Giants CNN. However The ability of the visitors to login
with their social networking IDs and features like leaving a video response make it one of the most delightful comments management systems.
Although there are many demerits of using Disqus.
Some of them are inability of place url or links
on names (hence the person leaving the comment can’t be easily traced), and the inability of linking the social media comments and the unavailability of Disqus when its server is down makes it quite inconvenient.

What could beat the social media giants commenting system?. This comment box remains one of the favorites for many bloggers who want to drive more traffic to their blogs from Facebook. The fact that it shares what the user comments automatically to his/her wall makes it a top way to drive traffic and more comments.

4.Google Comments
Current in the Nigerian Blogosphere this won't be very good as Google plus is yet to get more ground as a social network in the country. However if you aim for global traffic and comments Google plus comments rock. It's relatively easy to set up in Blogger. All you have to do is to enable Google plus comments from your blogger dashboard settings.
5. Livefyre
