My site and Google.

December 18, 2005 at 1:09 am
Blog updates, Search

Today I noticed that a Google bot - which identifies itself as “Some Feed Monger - Google.com/feeds” or something like that - is actually crawling my site. So I did a blogsearch using Google’s blog engine for “Brandonlive” and lo’ and behold, this site actually shows up - albeit a few links down the page.

So I’m wondering… has Google changed their main web search crawler to no longer add blogs? As it stands, this site/domain is entirely WordPress and nothing else - and it’s been completely ignored by Google’s web search crawler thus far.

This is only a theory, but it’s one possible explanation for why Google refuses to index this site (where MSN and Yahoo happily did).

Anyone know something I don’t?
