When you blog, it creates an original URL. It gets spidered.
Edit: Provided that you have inbound links and your main URL of blog gets spidered – the rest will too.
So is it possible to have all of your blogs interlink and get indexed by the SEs that way? I just haven’t seen any blog listings for major keywords on Google yet, but have seen a few on MSN.
Blog means nothing unto itself.
Webpages get spidered, whether they be blog pages or not. If you write reviews on any page, it challenges the top spots under the same criteria as any other webpage.
Whatever te criteria actually is heh.

I don’t understand…. so does it or does it not?
yes – all URLs get spidered if they have a connection to the web – or are listed in a sitemap.
LOL great thanks. I guess what I’m asking is can they be SEOed.
Casinorep –
Blogs are good because they notify services such as pingoat, weblog, blo.gs, pingomatic (to name a few of the larger ones) that your blog has been updated. This ‘can’ help your blog get spidered, but is not necessarily true. Depends upon if those services feel your blog is spammy or not.
Inbound links are going to help determine if you get spidered, in reality. So – if you have a good inbound link (like a link on a PR3-5 site) then you will get spidered.
Since that link is probably to your homepage, then you would want to make sure your homepage either:
1. Links to the blog
2. Is the blogBlogs, by nature, have an internal link structure such that the WHOLE blog (i.e., all your blog postings) will get spidered. This is because there are links to all posts structurally.
I hope this helps you make sense of things.
Basically, as long as you have inbound links from reputable sites – you will get spidered. And that doesn’t matter whether you have a blog or a regular site.
Blogs are just like any other website (as was stated). They do what you tell them to do. Word Press is the best software IMHO. Once you graduate from newbie, you can dig into the functionality of the software and create your own masterpiece.
The default setup is not the best for SEO reasons. You will want to learn about how to make templates (or at least how to edit them). WP also makes a good CM system once you get into making your own stuff with the software.
Good Luck!

The robots.txt file issues instructions to spiders about which pages are disallowed, how intensive they should be, etc. See http://www.robotstxt.org. Also the robots META tag once the spider accesses a page, which tells spiders whether to index the page and follow links from the page.
Well – I was assuming that the people asking the question about spidering had not specifically set things up to prevent spidering.
:tongue:Neither of those two factors are likely to be default setups are they.
:colgate:Thanks for all the feedback guys.. Really helpful.:clapper:

So let’s say you write multpile blog pages but don’t interlink them, do you think they are still structurally linked by the blog host, and thus be favorable for SE spidering?
It depends on your blog template mate.
Most blog templates have links that list things like :
– last 10 posts
– posts by category
– posts by month
(etc)So I’d expect all the blog posts to be spidered eventually if you are using a basic “off the shelf” blog template.
I’d say YES all blog entries should be covered.
:satisfiedThat’s exactly right. And if you use something like WordPress with a normal template, you will have links to archives and links to all the posts. So, eventually, all will be spidered.
What if they’re from different archives and subject lines that don’t attach to each other? For example I write a blog on blackjack. then on slots. etc… will the SEs still spider them as one site?
