What Google Owns
Search engines have a wide array of trust measurements for blogs. Google knows a lot more about your blog than you think. Consider that Google owns…
- the #1 search portal
- a leading email service
- a leading customized home page
- a leading feed reader
- the leading feed management system
- the leading analytics product
- the largest distributed ad network
- the most widely distributed traffic monitoring toolbar
- the largest video content hosting site; and
- Google collects data from millions of Google accounts every day
Extrapolating Trust from User Data
If a Google user subscribes to your blog how much can Google trust that person’s attention and subscription as a sign of trust? How long have they subscribed for? How often do users interact with your site? What other sites do they subscribe to? What other sites do they interact with? How regular are their search and email habits?
If another blog links to you, how much should Google trust that link as a vote to help your site rank better? Do any popular and trustworthy blogs link to that site? How many people subscribe to their RSS feed?
While services like Bloglines or MyBlogLog are able to answer some of these questions, Google can answer them more precisely than any other company.
In addition to the above data, Google knows how old your site is, how steady you have produced content, and how steady your link profile has grown.
Why Blogs Are Different Than Static Websites
SEO for a blog is different than SEO for most other websites, largely because of the social elements baked into blogging technology. SEO for blogs is less about buying links or tricking inadequate search technology. SEO for blogs is more focused on giving people something to talk about and creating something worthy of attention.
The Social Nature of Blogs
- RSS and feed readers make it easy for readers to subscribe to every post you write, and be notified the moment you publish it.
- Many people who read blogs also write them, and many of them have hundreds or thousands of subscribers. If a few reputable bloggers syndicate your story it can have a cascading effect where many of their readers share your story.
- Popular blogs that solicit reader feedback may have dozens or hundreds of comments on each post, adding unique content which the page can rank for.
- Optimizing a blog is more about capturing attention and getting credit for spreading ideas than it is about optimizing page copy to match search relevancy algorithms.
