How Do I Do A Blog Search

Performing a blog search is no different from searching for any other type of information online. What is the first step that you’d use? That’s right, a search engine. That’s exactly what you’d do to execute a blog search. Of course, you’d have to figure out which search engine to use and yes, there are blog search engines dedicated specifically to doing a blog search.

There are seven main blog search engines to consider when carrying out a blog search. These are, in no particular order, Blogdigger, Technorati, Bloglines, Feedster, PubSub, IceRocket and Google’s Blog Search. Out of these, the three most popular search engines are Feedster, Technorati and Google’s Blog Search.

Feedster is somewhat unique in that it allows users to do a blog search based on a site’s RSS feed. It can do this since it indexes and archives individual blog posts as opposed to just blog sites. Feedster has gained tremendous popularity for offering this type of blog search as users can find new information very quickly. With Feedster, you can even do a blog search for your own name through an RSS feed.

Many blog enthusiasts would agree that Technorati is one of, if not the, best blog search facilitities around. Technorati is the brainchild of Dave Sifry and has its headquarters in San-Francisco. It rivals bigger blog search engines such as Google’s Blog Search and indexed as much as 44.1 million blog sites as of June 2006. The site is a favorite of programmers and developer because of its use and advocacy of open source software. In addition to performing a blog search, users can take part in an active developer’s community, one of the factors in earning it the SXSW award for Best Technical Achievement.

Google’s Blog Search is an extension of its widely used internet search engine and prides itself on quality. It offers the user the ability to use Google Trends, which tracks and compares the popularity of blog search terms over time. This can be very useful if one is performing a blog search for keywords.

It is clear that there are many resources available if one would like to execute a blog search. Numerous blog search engines make the task quite easy. It is even possible to use normal search engines, such as Google and Yahoo, to get a list of blog sites by topics. If you are looking for something more specific though, such as an image or phrase in the content of the blog, your best bet is to use a blog search engine.
