For website promotion it is good that the site is live, i.e. users can leave comments on the pages. The more comments, the higher the position. Question: Comments left with BB-code will be used by search robots?

  • As for the search engines, as I understand, the algorithms are kept secret. But considering the pressure on quality and uniqueness, the BB codes do not apply to this. For a live site, comments should be verbal and page keywords should be used. Only in this case the site will be considered alive. - Monstrs-Inc

Usually bbCode is changed to valid html-tags before entering the database (or when retrieving from the database).

UPDATE

comments must be verbal and page keywords used.

Usually this is what happens. Look at the local responses and comments. Do IT topics of the resource? - Yes. Do the keywords that are listed in the title, keywords, description, and in the body of the site use? - Yes. It is easy to bring any other resource where these rules will naturally be observed. For example, sports - in the comments to the article, in fact, the described event is discussed.

Those times have long passed when it was fashionable to artificially create SEO rings (including hidden ones) and other “stuff-dryuk”. Indirectly, this approach can be attributed to the column "Related questions", which you observe on the right. And yet, this unit should be attributed rather to usability. Today the emphasis is on the quality / uniqueness of content and usability.

For the question: Are you going to parse bb-codes on the client? If so, I would like to caution you - search engines do not know how to understand js sufficiently. Yes, there are attempts by google to correct this misunderstanding , but most likely it is a limited set of scenarios, and most importantly, how is Yandex, the Rambler (this is how a Yandex bot is used) ... .

Simplified markup language bbCode, this is five minutes past history (legacy). Use Markdown . It is quite possible that in the nearest codes it will become the html standard , i.e. browsers natively learn how to parse it without problems.
