   I am using SEO Platinum. It has the ability to turn off indexing of comments. I enabled that option and it seems like I had a good reason but I can't remember what that reason is.

   It would seem to me that I'm doing away with a lot of valuable content when I do that and some not so valuable too. haha

   Anyone willing to share thoughts?

   Yes. You may try Canonical url in html. BTW, there is a code to functions.php.

   function canonical_for_comments() {
    global $cpage, $post;
    if ( $cpage > 1 ) :
     echo "\n";
     echo "<link rel='canonical' href='";
     echo get_permalink( $post->ID );
     echo "' />\n";
    endif;
   }
   add_action( 'wp_head', 'canonical_for_comments' );

   This add link to article "index" page yoursite.com/your-article/, than Googlebot etc. follow it. Sorry my poor English. :)

   Thanks for the try HPguru, I'm going to turn indexing of comments back on. Ii wonder though, will I dilute my content? Anyone?

   This code directs the bot to the article "Home" and other comment pages should not then be indexed.

   One more tweak for functions.php

   function seo_for_comments() {
    global $cpage, $post;
    if ( $cpage > 1 ) :
     echo "\n";
     echo "<meta name='robots' content='noindex,follow' />";
     echo "\n";
    endif;
   }
   add_action( 'wp_head', 'seo_for_comments' );

   It add noindex to other comments pages.
