I have Ben observing of late that when I search for a topic, let’s say travel, in any of the search engines, the first many pages of results are from commercial travel websites. Like Tripadvisor, Ixigo, Tripsavvey etc etc. It’s becoming more and more difficult to discover new blogs via search engines. While I appreciate communities like Indiblogger, for new audiences to discover our blogs, it’s becoming more and more difficult in the face of huge marketing budgets from these commercial websites.
How do Indibloggers discover new blogs on subjects they search about? How do you ensure your blogs remain in the first one or two page search of search results?
(Ideally search engines should have a tab called ‘Personal Blogs’ just like they have for images, maps etc)
