I should have done this a while ago, but I just did some research on 6
of the top blog search engines. They are listed below and sorted by
Alexa Ranking:
| Search Engine | Alexa Ranking | Search Results on query: San Francisco 1906 | My blog indexed |
| Technorati | 1209 | 1,834 | no |
| Bloglines | 1529 | 32 | no |
| Feedster | 4738 | 1,922 | no |
| Ice Rocket | 4761 | 1,400 | no |
| Blogpulse | 11668 | 1,058 | yes |
| Daypop | 21331 | 75 | no |
In August my web site http://www.infobaseventures.com got 32,000 unique visitors, mostly to my blog at www.infobaseventures.com/blog/
But because my blog posts don\’t show up on 5 of the top 6 blog search engines, I\’m missing out on huge amounts of traffic.
So now I have to figure out how to get indexed by all these engines.
It\’s probably very simple. Then, I\’ll report back on how much
additional traffic I receive when my posts can be found on the other
engines.
My advice to other bloggers (including my BusM 457 students!) is to do the same thing–make sure your posts are being indexed.

I’ve noticed that pingomatic has been down a lot lately. I started using Pingoat (http://pingoat.com/goat/RPC2).
Paul, thanks for this valuable info, I’ll be taking your advice.

Hi Paul,
Please do use pingomatic or ping feedster directly. You are in Feedster’s system, generally speaking.

Paul, you need to ping http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ each time you post. There should be an option in your blogging software to add this URL.
