RSS Tip for Google Blog Search  0

Posted on September 16th, 2005. About Google, RSS, SEO, Blogging.

I have come across this tip that shows how to make the best out of your RSS feed and the new Google blog Search.

If you have a popular blog that generates income through advertising, chances are you offer an RSS feed that contains only an exceprt of each entry. This is a good way to encourage readers to visit the blog to continue reading. In the similar interest of drawing traffic to the site, you should also want to make the best use of Google’s new Blog Search function (info). Unfortunately, Google currently uses only RSS feeds (rather than readable pages) to index weblogs, meaning in many cases only a portion of each entry is searchable.

It offers this tip specifically for Movable Type blogs - but with some modifications, this could be applied to about any blog out there (except for Blogger blogs hosted on Blogger - but those have an option to have a feed with complete posts in it easily selected in the blog settings).

Google Blog search in action  0

Checked this blog’s stats today and was surprised to notice some visitors actually came to my blog from the new Google Blog Search. The new service seems pretty fast and efficient so far. People complain that it only indexes and searches the RSS feeds published by the blogs as opposed to the complete posts (meaning that RSS feeds can sometimes include only a partial description of the actual blog posts). But it is always possible to set up the feed in a way that includes the whole post. I am going to post a trick advised by one of the sites I came across later on.

Pingomatic adds new services to ping  0

Pingomatic has updated its list of services available for pinging through its interface again recently. This time, it added News Is Free and Topic Exchange to the list .

For those of us with just a few Blogger blogs out there, I’d advise to update their pinging link. However, that wouldn’t be so easy for those with hundreds and even thousands of blogs….
