Advantages of Using Facebook Comment System
It makes your comments high-quality discussions, as your visitors have to comment with their Facebook profile, and this makes your blog comments almost spam free.
With a Facebook comment system, your visitors’use their real Facebook identity and this leads to better conversations on relevant topics. As millions of people around the globe use Facebook and spend a lot of time on Facebook.
So, when a reader comments on your blog, it also shares the topic on its Facebook feed and this can drive more and valuable traffic to your blog.
When someone comments on your blog, Facebook will notify you and also if someone or you replay to your visitor comments.
Still many of us are in doubt whether Facebook comments are accessible and indelible by Google or are SEO friendly.
But various case studies turned up that every single comment done through Facebook comment system will always remain under your post and is crawlable and indelible by Google or other search engines as well.

Facebook Comment Box Placement in Blogger Template
Now, this is the most important and crucial part of the process, i.e.
The placement of your Facebook Comment Box on your Blogger theme.
So, you should have to be very careful, because if you place it anywhere, your Facebook comment box might not appear.
Or in some cases, it may appear on the desktop but will not appear on mobile devices as due to Blogger uses different CSS codes for desktop and mobile templates.
Now, go back to your Facebook Developer page that is open and you would see the second code, which is displayed on Step 3: Place this code wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page.
But wait!
Don’t use the second code, because the HREF is the link of your blog and not the link to the individual post and same Facebook comments will appear on all the posts. So, instead of using the second code.
Kindly Note: Blogger uses separate codes for desktop and mobile devices, and so we have to add the Facebook comment code in two different places.
Adding Facebook Comment Box Code for Desktop
Step 1. Select Template, click on Edit HTML.
Step 2. Now click anywhere inside the code area and pressing CTRL + F search for post-footer-line post-footer-line-3 (See Below)
<div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'>
Anything that is inside the post-footer-line post-footer-line-3 will be displayed on desktop and not on mobile devices.
So, in order to make your Facebook comment box responsive and appear on mobile devices too, copy and paste the below code just below the <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> line.
<!-- facebook comment box -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<h2>Comment with Facebook</h2>
<div class='fb-comments' data-numposts='5' data-width="100%" expr:href='data:post.canonicalUrl' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id'/>
</b:if>
<!--facebook comment box -->
Note: You can also customize specific width in pixels for "data-width" such as "data-width = "350px", etc.
But using percentage in place of pixels as "data-width = "100%", will make your Facebook comment box responsive.
Step 3. Now click on Save in order to save your settings and you are done adding.
Now, view any of your blog posts in order to check whether your newly added Facebook comment system has been successfully integrated and is working.
If you see both Facebook comment box and Blogger’s comment box as well, then you have successfully embedded Facebook comment box on your Blogger blog and you have to hide your Blogger default comment box.
How to Hide Default Blogger Comment Box
Step 1. Select Setting and click on Posts, comments, and sharing.
Step 2. Now, under Comment Location change it to Hide and save your settings.
Adding Facebook Comment Box Code for Mobile Devices
Step 1. Select Template, click on Edit HTML.
Step 2. Now click anywhere inside the code area and pressing CTRL + F search for post-comment-link and paste the below code just above the post-comment-link and save your template.
Also, view a blog post on a mobile device and see if the Facebook comment appears.
</span>
<!-- facebook comment box -->
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<h2>Comment with Facebook</h2>
<div class='fb-comments' data-numposts='5' data-width="100%" expr:href='data:post.canonicalUrl' expr:title='data:post.title' expr:xid='data:post.id'/>
</b:if>
<!--facebook comment box -->
<span class='post-comment-link'>
