Hi fellas,
Now that you have reached this page and this line, you would probably know you are in a WordPress blog. Had everything gone normally in my blogging life, this would have been a Blogger blog. Yeah that would be www.shadowspeak.blogspot.com. But i switched over to WordPress for a simple problem. My blogs in Blogger were just not getting listed in Google search. Even if i search the exact words i had blogged about, I still didn’t get the results in Google search. That was highly disappointing. The reason you,me or anyone would blog is for others to read our blogs, find it useful and start a discussion. But whats the purpose if your blog is not connected with people who are searching for something like your blog?
WordPress is just awesome in that respect. The moment i post something it gets listed in Google and so many other search engines in less than 24 hours. Great! Just what a blogger needs! I had one of my friends complaining to me about the same problem yesterday. he had posted a couple of dicey topics hoping to start off some hot discussion, but with no responses its understandable he’s a bit pissed off. After all if you are using Blogger, you are using Google’s blog and still you don’t get listed in Google search. Not funny MountainView!
And today I just found out why! Its because Google thinks that blogs are special. So special infact that they require a entirely different Search engine! Check out Google Blog Search A stroke of genius you say? I say No. Come on i don’t expect a majority people to search separately for blogs and websites. The difference has clearly been blurred in recent times with all the supposed news websites, changing into something like a blog. So suit up Google. Because for an ordinary user not really bothered about ads and other stuff and focussing mainly on the content of what he writes, Blogspot has become a major letdown. In that way WordPress really has a knack of not only getting listed in Google but also high up too.
P.S. Hope someone from the Blogger team reads this!
