The comment section is a great
way to communicate with your readers and allow them to interact with you, so
you could find out if your writing is significant enough to engage your
visitors consistently.

Moreover, effective discussion
plays a vital role in getting feedbacks that guides you in which direction you should
move to improve your blog. Same way, you can generate more content ideas and
what your visitors like to know more about? And you need not search out for
fresh content ideas to expand your blog posts.

But the comments section also has
downsides, where a huge possibility is that your comment section may snow under
spam malicious comments leading to ridiculous trackbacks. Or you may face
negativity and encounter trolls, and at times you would feel to disable
comments to avoid negativity.

The default WordPress plugin for
comment is not as much interactive as many other comments plugin that can
enhance comments section functionality.

Here is a list of the best comment plugins to get your job done ideally.
