Hi All,

Just received news that a conference on blogging, as a webmarketing tool,
was going to take place in Los Angeles. I really don't know that conference
program - but as I see more and more SEO experts and the likes praising
firms who get a better PageRank at blogs' expenses, I can't avoid to think
what Google thinks of all this.

Blogs can clog a results page for the end-user. And users have a harder time
trying to find the answer to their queries. As I see it, the Bottom-line
is - blog searching must be separated from web searching, to separate the
waters. And Google's buy of Pyra Labs quickly tell us Google is going to
follow that lead.

Neverthless, some blogs are really useful and bring up some precious info,
otherwise unavailable to the end-user. So, where do we stand? Do you believe
Blogs will continue to influence a site's PageRank? Or only other blog's
pagerank, as there will be a separated blog search?

Just food for thought.

Luis Martins
