How To Submit Your Blog To Google Blog Search
Published August 27, 2011 |
Did you know that Google has a separate index for blog posts called Google Blog Search?
What is Google Blog Search?
Google Blog Search provides fresh, relevant search results from millions of feed-enabled blogs. Google is a strong believer in the self-publishing phenomenon represented by blogging, and we hope Blog Search will help our users to explore the blogging universe more effectively, and perhaps inspire many to join the revolution themselves. Whether you’re looking for Harry Potter reviews, political commentary, summer salad recipes or anything else, Blog Search enables you to find out what people are saying on any subject of your choice. Your results include all blogs, not just those published through Blogger.
Drive more traffic to your website by submitting your blog for indexing through the Google Blog Search Pinging Service.
What is the Google Blog Search Pinging Service?
The Google Blog Search Pinging Service is a way to inform Google Blog Search of weblog updates. These updates are then published and shared with other search engines to allow them to discover the changes to your weblogs. In addition, Google Blog Search will add submitted weblogs to the list of blogs it needs to crawl and index.
Who should use the Google Blog Search Pinging Service?
The Google Blog Search Pinging Service is for bloggers who wish to have their blogs crawled by Google and have them updated in Google Blog Search. It is also for blogging services that wish to provide the service to their blog writers. Google currently monitors other pinging services and will continue to do that. However pinging Google directly will potentially reduce latency when crawling your blogs.
Whether you’re a new blogger just starting out or a seasoned blogger trying to grow organic search traffic, submitting your site to Google Blog Search is a must for your to-do list.
If you need to submit your site to the regular Google directory, you can do so here.

Interesting – I'm not quite sure how that works. Google is strange and mysterious sometimes (ok, a lot of the time)
Thank you so much for this information.

Nice, I submitted Lindsey’s since it is finally ready to go(first post tonight maybe!!!).
Yay!! I'm excited to see her first post.
Some people stumble homepages, but I prefer to stumble individual post pages, since homepage content can change and might not always be relevant to the category you discover it in. You can experiment and see – I know several people that stumble their homepages and do well.
cool didn’t know about that thanks

Happy to help out.
Just the other day I was wishing I could search just blog posts, and not have to deal with any other junk on the net. This is extremely helpful in more ways than one.
Thank you!
