Google has unveiled it’s “beta” blog search tool - blogsearch.google.com.
Apparently they started indexing blogs for this tool in June 2005, so anything from that date forward should be good. Older blogs which do no update frequently probably will not be found.
On thing that I wonder - now that Google has it’s own blogsearch tool, which likely will become at tab on the google.com homepage, how will blog entries be handled in regular search?
Will blog entries continue to be found in regular search results, and will they carry the same weight in Google’s algorithms? Or will they solely be listed within the blogsearch section of google - treated as separate beasts, just like images and newsgroup postings. I hope not, as that would likely trivialize their overall value as content additions to a web site.
Although it’s too early to know, I suspect that some people have already started tracking this, and will be able to present their findings shortly, and over time.
Will they also add an algorithm to purge splogs?
For more information - go straight to the horse’s mouth, at Google’s about blogsearch information page.
