Death of the A-list blogger? Not exactly. Is blog search currently on life support? Yes. Does this affect blog traffic? Yes. Is anyone analyzing this situation holistically? Uncertain.<\/p>\n

Over the past several months:<\/p>\n

1) Technorati has “redesigned” in such a way that other content, especially mainstream media content has become more prominent.<\/p>\n

2) Sphere has done much the same thing and it’s widgets seem to favor mainstream media content.<\/p>\n

3) Live.com and Yahoo! don’t currently have blog search at all.<\/p>\n

4) Ask.com blog search is on the homepage but few know about it.<\/p>\n

5) As written previously, Google has a decent blog search but has not yet put blog search<\/a> on the home page. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Based on the increase in traffic when Google moved Video to the front page<\/a>, I firmly believe that a change to Google’s home page to include blog search would yield an immediate increase in blog traffic – regardless of social network sites. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Is Google on the side of the mainstream media or the average blogger? Time will tell by their action or lack thereof. Can we revive blog search?
