In this case you pay for these "free comment services" through the direct sale of your privacy, data, content, and audience.

Hey there, my name is <a href="http://russell.ballestrini.net/about">Russell</a> and I started working on Remarkbox back in 2014 to solve a problem I had after moving my Wordpress blog to a <b>static site</b>.

Static sites don't have comments and I knew my readers would still want to communicate with me so I started a search for the perfect <span class="avoidwrap"><b>embedded comment system</b></span> to promote discussion.

<h5>Increase User Engagement</h5>
<h5>You switched to static for speed ...</h5>
Everyone knows asking a visitor to create an account acts like a barrier to engagement.
With Remarkbox, a visitor may interact with your content <b>without</b> an account.
<br>
<br>
When a user leaves a comment we collect their email address and send a verification email to log them in.
<br>
<br>
The end result is a visitor can comment right away without needing to signup or remember a password.
<p>
But your comment system is slowing you down.
</p>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<p>
You know your page is only as fast as your slowest resource. You know search engines use page load speeds in their search ranking.
</p>
<p>You know that the free comment systems have a business model that prioritizes ad revenue over page speed.</p>
<p>
Our priority is simple, to <b>help you rank in search</b> &mdash;
</p>
<p>
Remarkbox helps you capture search traffic from long tail keywords in your user generated comments while keeping your page load speeds as fast as possible.
</p>
<p>Optimizing for speed means we also optimize minimalism. We keep Remarkbox lean and feeling like part of your site, not something bolted on.</p>
<h5>Say <u>No</u> to tracking and Ads!</h5>
Free comment systems, track your (and your visitor's) activity to serve ads.
<br>

Here at Remarkbox we respect your privacy and never serve ads. In fact, we only <b>promote your message</b> because we work for you, not them!
