The Google Blog Search is becoming a popular search feature on Google and it is worth understanding how the search results are decided.

The following are positive elements that Google looks for:

- How often the search results get clicked. So if the link in the search results does not get clicked very often, it will soon disappear from the search results.

- The popularity of the blog in terms of the number of subscribers to the blog feeds.

- Inclusion in blogrolls, the better quality the blogroll the more positive impact the search results will be.

- Tagging of posts from users throughout the internet.

- Pagerank

- References to the blog by sources other than blogs

The following are negative elements that Google looks for:

- If there are not regular posts to the blog and sudden rises in posts, Google may well consider it to be spam.

- Content of the blog does not match content of the feed

- Content includes spam keywords

- Posts that primarily link to one page or website.

- Duplicated content

- Blogs that contain posts that are all the same size.
