Blog search has been around for awhile, and the whole time I’ve been hearing how it’s supposed to be getting better. So far I haven’t seen any indication of this. The search has a primitive algo. I’m not sure if Google even uses their own search algo, but the one at Technorati is sad.
The only thing worse than the search results, is the small amount of traffic there. Nobody appears to be virtually no one using blog search except for the few and mightly earl adopters. And it’s a shame, because it seems like a great way to get new visitors to your website.
Sometimes I wonder if people really differentiate between blogs and “non-blogs” when they search. Probably not, as long as the answer they get is good. So I’m not sure if it’s a good idea that Google has seperated it.
Do you use Blog Search?
