Blog Search Visibility

When it comes right down to it, the name of the game is visibility. We all want our blogs to be in the forefront of our niches, and we want our blogs to be found when relevant searches are performed. If we aren’t readily visible in the standard search engines, we’d better at least be visible in the blog search engines.

Below is a list of a dozen blog search engines that you may want to routinely monitor to see if your blog’s visibility level is high in each. Of course, there are thousands of phrases that might be searched for at any given time, in which your blog might rank well, but I’d suggest just doing a spot check now and then for those phrases you deem most important and most relevant to your blog.

If you aren’t showing up in some of these, you may be able to simply submit your site for inclusion and that’s as much work as you’ll have to do. In others, it may not be quite so easy, and may require some research into what that engine might be using for its ranking algorithm. If you aren’t ranking well, don’t fret. It doesn’t hurt to keep track of where you may be lacking, giving you incentive to work towards increasing your blog search visibility in the future. Our failures often lead to our greatest successes.

Nice list of resources, Donna. I’m sure many of your readers will find the links you’ve provided useful.

Two newer blog search engines your readers may want to check out are Sphere (www.sphere.com) and Blogdimension (www.blogdimension).

Or, to make things simple, your readers could try the blog search capability at Zuula . It provides easy access to blog search results from eight different leading blog search engines — including many of the blog search engines you’ve listed above.

Zuula also is a useful resource for general web search. I may be somewhat biased on this subject, though, since I’m one of Zuula’s founders …
