  Google Tests Shows Blog Results in Web Searches…

  The Google Operating System blog points to a post by Andy Boyd showing that Google is now highlighting blog results in Web searches, much as they do for news. This is another Google test. I am not seeing this in…

  [...] Andy Boyd spotted a box listing “blog posts about tea” in Google’s web search results when he was conducting a web search for tea. You can see the box in the image from his search below. The full screenshot of his Google results page can be found here. The box does not appear if you search “tea” on Google today – it appears to be something Google is testing. If this feature Google is testing goes live it will definitely help boost traffic to blogs. (Via path -> Steve Rubel -> Google Operationg System) [...]

A number of other bloggers have picked this up but no one else has been able to reproduce Boyd’s experience. It’s a believable scenario because Google recently added blog search to Google News last month and Google Alerts four days later.

  [...] you might suppose Google should’nt really have a problem to establish their very own kick ass blog-index, but like their online RSS-reader, which has only gained attention after its recent major upgrade, blogsearch.google.com is living quite below the blogosphere’s radar. according to the screenshot (see below) blogger Andy Boyd has posted today, this might be subject to change in the very near future: in what might be a local beta-rollout, Andy seems to have received results from blogsearch mixed within the general results from google.com.

Tests mit der Präsentation der Suchergebnisse sind ja nichts neues. Das interessante ist das Google 3 Ergebnisse der Blogsuche unterhalb der Suchergebnisse präsentiert. Natürlich würde es aus Google-Sicht auch nicht schaden die Google Blogsuche überhaupt erst einmal etwas bekannter zu machen. Der Test scheint derzeit aber wohl nur auf Google.com zu laufen und auch nur gelegentlich und bei ausgewählten Keywords. Im Blog von Andy Boyd findet sich dazu noch ein Screenshot. [...]

If Google Blogsearch can’t get rid of all the splogs in its search results though, it could lead to some level of backlash against blogs in general. I don’t know anyone who’s as good at excluding splogs as Ask/Bloglines – they only display blog search results from blogs that at least one Bloglines user has subscribed to and they have algorithms to prevent gaming of that safeguard as well.

  Yet another integration of Google’s many OneBox UI’s – I have used your blog search example at a post on my blog summarising the vast number of different OneBoxes, hope you don’t mind!

  If Google were to roll this out permenantly they have a strong foundation to build a technorati type system – something I am surprised they haven’t done already.

• 13 Debasis // Nov 24, 2006 at 1:14 pm

  When I saw the screen shot for the first time I was spell bound for a moment!!! If this is true, then certainly Google is experimenting to integrate it’s blog search results into its general search result. And that is a real real good news for all bloggers like us. This way both party will be benefitted. Google and the Bloggers, whose blog are able to show up in the top blog search results. So hope for the Best and wait until it happens in a large scale.

  Andy Boyd posted what may be the first sighting of Google providing auxiliary search results from the blogosphere on its main stream web search page. My thinking has always been that eventually, main stream search sites will have to differentiate…

• 15 Andy // Nov 24, 2006 at 3:54 pm

  First off guys, can I just thank you one and all, for picking up this story and running with it. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and link back from your blogs. Thanks!

  HeapSEO, who knows what they’ll do. Will they amalgamate Google News & Blog Search? It makes sense to me in a sense, ie. a cleaner interface. But then we have issues with credibility, spam etc.

  Debasis, I think we’re all hoping to see this rolled out. It would certainly ‘legitimize’ the blogoshpere … not that it needs Google’s vote to have a legitimate vote. You know what I mean …

• 19 Bob Caswell // Nov 24, 2006 at 6:26 pm

  Here’s my question: Why hasn’t Google done this already? And not only for blog searches but perhaps even for news, pictures, and/or video. The big three, for me at least, would be regular search results, blog posts, and news. I’d say that over half of my searches I do three times. Why not put in my search query once and get the top 10 results from each category on the same page?

  I explain how I could see this working over at Computers.net:

  Lou … it isn\’t an elaborate hoax.

  I just posted another screenshot after searching for FSB, otherwise known as the KGB v2.  I\’m on a static IP, Google served me the new blog post Onebox on Firefox but not on Camino only seconds later.  They are testing based on specific IP ranges (UK only?) and because of the sheer volume of traffic they have to play with it is easier for them to spot trends and more difficult for us to repeatedly spot new beta features.

  It\\\’s not the first time this happened to me.  A while back I got a new left-col layout on Google SERPs that persisted for days.

• 32 Justin Silverton // Nov 25, 2006 at 5:18 am

  The reason other people might not see it at this point might be because it’s only available on a few google servers (they have a server farm of thousands). I noticed that with search results too. I will look up a term and sometimes it gives me less results..and sometimes more.

  Also, it looks like you are having a magic quote issue with wordpress. Upgrading to version 2.0.4 will solve this issue

• 37 Google Integrating Blog Posts Into Search Results | Content Blog // Nov 25, 2006 at 10:13 pm

  [...] I just found a post titled Google Integrating Blog Posts Into Search Results via BlogHerald. The author has a screen shot of the search result. He says when he conducted a few searches Google also showed results from a few blogs at the bottom of the search results page. I searched for “content writing” first and then “online copywriting” and no blogs turned up so I couldn’t check this thing myself. It’s good if it’s happening. Blogs will get more exposure. In the Blogherald post the author is slightly skeptical and says: I’m worried about splogs and such ruining it, actually. What if a non-blogosphere savvy user clicks three suggested Blog Search links, and only get rubbish splogs? I’m pretty sure that’s a reader lost to the blogosphere… Then again, there are spammy traditional sites getting hits from search engines as well, so perhaps it isn’t such a big problem. [...]
