Use Google Blog Search for better and fresh search results

I first came across this simple and effective blog search engine from Google through ‘Social Media Examiner’, thanks to their fantastic list of ’12 Social media tools recommended by the pros’. Google blog search is a special Google blog search engine that indexes nothing but blogs, whether you’re looking for internet marketing tips, book reviews, sports news, recipes or anything else, it provides information in any topic.

What it’s good for?

Search results include all blogs, not just those published through Blogger; the blog index is continually updated, so search results are always fresh and up-to-date. You can search not just for blogs written in English but in any of the 35 specific languages using the advanced search options; also by default search results include blogs written in all languages.

Google blogs core feature is that it shows you not only how many different blogs have written about a particular topic, but also within what period of time. It also blends in some of Google’s trends prowess to show you how a story’s prominence has increased or decreased by the hour. What I like most about it is that it features the most popular stories in the blogosphere on Blog search homepage.

Getting listed in Google blog search:-

If your blog publishes a site feed, then you can set up automatic pinging for your blog or manually submit your blog for inclusion. Google periodically crawls and refreshes manually added blogs.

Google blog search is an ideal tool to explore the blogging universe more effectively; it’s never been so easy to find relevant blogs for writing ideas and to comment on.
