Blog Search Engines : The Complete Overview
Blog search tools are numerous; most of them are pretty much useless (per my opinion). Here I am looking only at the most helpful and unique ones that I do recommend trying and that offer some great features.
| Google Blog Search | Technorati | Blog Pulse | Blog Lines | |
| Sort by | relevance/ date | only by date | date or relevance | date / relevance / popularity |
| Overall results relevance / usefulness | high | moderate | moderate | moderate |
| Most useful advanced search option | [inblogtitle] and [intitle] | Search for blogs with highest “authority” | backlink research operator | Search for blogs with most subscribers (hence “more popular”) |
| Subscription options | RSS and email | RSS | RSS | RSS |
| Most useful additional feature | Blog meme tracking | Related tag cloud | “Trend this” graph | Feed search |
