if i only knew...

For a few weeks now,

For a few weeks now, I have been wondering how come google indexes my blog much faster and more frequently than my other websites, and why it makes sense at all for Google to index all blogs in the first place when the content changes so frequently. What i didn't realize is this: it's not the individual blog's content that is important for Google, but the links in the blog. With every single link in the blog we "vote" for a site in the google rankings (google analyzes both the relevancy and the popularity of a page before it ranks it in its search results), as explained in microcontentnews' Googleloves Blogs article. One more pieve of evidence to the power of blogging. No, blogging will not make us bloggers journalists, no, our blogs will not earn us fortunes, but they do influence the web, and what gets found on the web 150 million times a day.
