Free coment systems serve advertisements and often have a distracting user experience which cause your visitors to bounce.
We all want a better way. As a result, Remarkbox was created as a comment system that <b>works for the site owner</b>, not against them

Ad networks on free comment systems do more then hurt your brand, they also track, spy, and slow down your pages.
<br>
If you want to take back control of your site and end this lopsided arrangement try Remarkbox, the hosted comment system that <span class="avoidwrap"><b>works for site owners</b></span>, not against them

<h5>You switched to static for speed ...</h5>
<p>
But your comment system is slowing you down.
</p>
<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 often take a minimalist approach. We keep Remarkbox lean and feeling like part of your site, not something bolted on.</p>

<h4>About Remarkbox</h4>

<b><a href="http://russell.ballestrini.net/about">Russell Ballestrini</a></b> - <i>Founder</i>
<br>
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>.
</p>
<p>
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.
</p>
<p>
My research found products which would slow down my site, or worse, serve ads! That very day, I set out to build my own solution because -
</p>
<p>
<blockquote>"How long could it take to build a comment system?"</blockquote>
</p>
<p>
3 years later, I'm finally ready to share Remarkbox: a hosted comment service that <b>embeds in your pages</b> to keep the conversation in the same place as your content.
</p>
<p>
Remarkbox <b>increases user engagement</b> because it:
</p>
<p>
<ul>
<li>allows a visitor to discuss your content right away without an account</li>
<li>supports <b>Markdown</b> with real-time comment previews</li>
<li>supports deeply nested replies and has an orderly user interface</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
... and the best part - fast page load speeds and absolutely <b>NO ADS!</b>
</p>
<p>
<a href="https://my.remarkbox.com/u/namespaces" class="button red">Yes, Host my comments, not their Ads!</a>
</p>
<p>
Try on your site now, risk free, no card required.

<h5>Do comments help with SEO ?</h5>
<p>
<a href="https://faq.remarkbox.com/d1f50998-bb29-11e7-951f-040140774501/do-remarkbox-comments-help-with-seo-and-search">Do Remarkbox comments help with SEO and search?</a>
</p>
<p>
<b>Spoiler:</b> Yes!
</p>
<br />
<h5>Resilient Web Design</h5>
<p>
Remarkbox follows resilient web design principles.
This means Remarkbox will work even when Javascript does not.
</p>
<p>
When Javascript works, Remarkbox will powerup and enhance the user experience!
</p>
<p>

</p>
<h5>Increase User Engagement</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.
