There certainly is something to be said for filtering out individual webpages from blog entries. I personally prefer a site like Technorati for specific blog search. At the end of the day, Google is <em>Google</em> though, you know? @Paul - thanks for your input. There certainly is something to be said for filtering out individual webpages from blog entries.

So take from that what you will.  ;-) I've never been much of a fan of Google's blog search, to be fair. I'd rather use their main search rather than trawl through everything and anything with an RSS feed. I must confess that Google does a far better job of filtering out fake blogs than they used to.

I’ve never been much of a fan of Google’s blog search, to be fair. I’d rather use their main search rather than trawl through everything and anything with an RSS feed.

Side note - good call on Maholm.  And he is very frustrating - his m.o. is to pitch 5-6 great innings and 1 really bad one. @ Jonathan - Thanks for swinging by.  I’ll defer to Paul on this one, but my personal thought is that it’s a matter of time before it happens - whether the info goes into a supplemental results netherworld or gets sandboxed completely or gets a -100 penalty (not sure I believe in any of the -## penalties seo-types like to talk about).  They’re getting better with their main serps (and as spammers, arbitragers, and black hatters get better, they’ll both be forced to evolve in a never ending tango), so I don’t see why they wouldn’t with their other serps as well.

Any thoughts? It's really annoying to try and track blog links when the majority of results in a search come back with spam.
