(source: - Blogging News - Micronet News) Something I’ve run across more than once in my blogging evangelism is the idea that blogs contaminate Google’s search results. I found this article which takes a mathematical analysis to see if this complaint is warranted or not

The complaint from anti-bloggers is that it is almost becoming impossible to obtain good search results in Google because bloggers pages get in the way of giving you the ‘real’ pages.

I do think what will end up happening is Google will attempt to filter out blogs, perhaps by default, much as it does with news and images. There are sites out there that are very much like blogs, but aren’t using blogging software and it will be interesting to see how many of those sites are caught in the combines if Google makes this type of change.

  1. I have real concerns about that. It seems like throwing out the baby with the bath water. I suspect that a lot of good sites will be penalized inadvertently.
