Blog Search, I am really excited about this one! From now on there is no need to use general search to find great information about blogging. Search best blogs for top quality articles on blogging with just one click using custom Blog Search. Just use the search box below (or in the top right corner of any page in this blog). All credits go to Google.

You can add Blog Search to your Google Homepage. Just click the button below.

Why would you want yo use this alternative Blog Search instead of a general Google search? Because all the sources used in this search are manually selected. You will get only top quality content, produced by experts in blogging.

Currently Blog Search is performed on the following blogs (listed chronologically):

I selected these particular blogs for several reasons. First one is great content. You just cannot beat that one. Second — all those sites have nice design. I hate to make you spend time on the sites with utterly poor design even if its content is good, so I left out some of the sites with really poor design.

If you know of other quality resources please leave a note with the URL in the comments.

I came across Fleck browsing referral reports for Blog Reviews. I got a dozen of clicks from Fleck in one day and went to check it out. Although Fleck has nothing to do with blogging directly, I decided to say a word about the service, because I found its concept really cool.

Fleck is a service for collaborative annotation of web pages. Simply speaking it allows to add notes to the website pages, and then share them with other people.

Here is an extract from TechCrunch.com word about Fleck:

The service is clearly in its infancy but could be just what some people are looking for. The basic idea is that one person can place notes on top of a web page and other people can view, change and add to those notes at any time. It’s got standard features like movable notes and bullet points, page histories and the ability to email a unique URL to an annotated page. The URLs are Fleck URLs, not the URL of the page you are annotating. The system is remarkably easy to use and relatively easy on the eyes.

Check out sample page of Blog Reviews with my notes with my notes on it.

For now Fleck is developing pretty slowly, so you can actually have your blog listed on the front page for several days. It will not drive tons of traffic of course, but might give you some additional exposure, which won’t hurt at all.

Keyword Selector — is a tool that helps find keywords crucial for building content highly relevant to queries used in search engines. Without targeted keywords it is very unlikely for a website to rank high in search engines for popular queries.

These tools allow to identify keywords and phrases that are commonly used by people in their queries to search engines, as well as find keywords that can attract well priced context ads.
