Thing 3

I've been dabbling in things 1 through 4--so time to write what happened with 3.

I registered one of my blogs, English Country Dance Around Gainesville, on Technorati.

Then I did the same searches in Google Blog Search and Technorati--wow very different results!

When I did "english country dance" I got 1414 hits in Google but only 79 in Technorati! but I will say the Technorati results were way more to the point. Technorati also shows videos--seem to be from you tube.

Then I searched on "English country dancing" in each again I got very different results. In my first Google search, one of my blogs came up; but the second time I did it, several days later, none did. Whereas in Technorati my English blog came up--is that because I registered it in Technorati?

So like any other search--there are lots of ways to do it and lots of results--but I cannot figure out the preciseness. Why, when I know the precise words in my blogs can I not get them to surface in a search? Especially in Google when you can sort by date--so I can be sure it's not burried somewhere. And in Technorati, there are a limited number so its easy to look through them all.

Bottome line. Search is useful; not precise.
