Hmmm.
Read every word with great attention.
I suppose it’s good news in a way because it means that spammers don’t get a look in. I say this because all the things you mentioned i.e high quality blogrolls, number of feed subscribers, etc seem to depend on having quality content on your blogs

Bad news is there are loads of blogs with quality content in any niche so how does one raise their heads above the crowd

In my experience.
Blog search will help you increase traffic.If your content fresh,it’ll show top result of blog search.Not sure it may help serp too.

How can google go through gmail like this, isn’t that invasion of your privacy in some way? I would not want them sifting through my gmail emails… that’s personal stuff.

I guess, blog search can not give you the kind of traffic you want. I use it mainly to find related blogs in a niche.

Makes sense, as the 800 pound gorrilla of search gets better and smarter, we will see more and more pure and relevant search as a result.. driven by only one factor – Is it good for the visitor? So if this post is being crawled – Thanks g**gle !

Three thoughts on this.

Google’s ranking criteria have always struck me as being similar to the popularity contests that go on in high school lunch rooms — who’s in, who’s out, who’s cool, who’s not. It’s as useful and fair as a gossip mill. That type of juvenile ranking is a tough enough struggle even when you’re at the top. Now, everyone’s on this treadmill trying to appease the google-gods instead of writing good articles.

The idea of scouring people’s emails to find out what they’re saying just seems prying and nosy. I realize email isn’t private, but I really don’t want to be part of their little plan to be the keepers of all the secrets of exactly what everyone is thinking. Who died and left them in charge, anyway?

What Google is doing is sorting out the unpopular opinions and driving them to the obscurity of the bottom of the list. That’s NOT diversity.

I thought blogrolls were pointless. I really thought Google would consider such lists to simply be a form of link farming.

Now I see I was mistaken.

I’ll admit to being a little concerned about their mining of end user email, but then I never had the false sense of privacy I’m sure many have.

Very interesting post,

Interesting article Darren. I tried various blog searching tools today – Icerocket, bloglines, Feedster, Google blog search and bloglines. As per my analysis, google blog search provided maximum number of results, many of them were quite relevant to my query.
It seems that when it comes to searching – google has upper hand over its competitors. This is also confirmed by the huge number of patents Google is filing in the searching area.

Currently the website is just a convenient place to post and collaborate on models used in fundamental equity research. Right now you can find versions of a LVLT model I am developing in the “Project” folder of that website.
