Do blogs get search engine results?

Do blogs get search engine results?

Yes they do. See for yourself with my crude graph comparing early February figures (Feb. 7) with today (Feb 28th),  the last day of the month.

In February, my top 10 positions increased from 91 to 145 - an jump of 54 positions - that's a 59% INCREASE - just from blogging - no meta tags, no hidden text, no cloaking -- just consistant subject focused, frequent blogging. I currently target 65 keywords and track 7 engines).

My # 1 positions increased from 21 to 35 - that's a 66.6% increase.

I am a happy blogger. Click here to see the graph.

However -- there is a bit of bad news - blogging alone won't get you noticed on Open Directory. I haven't bothered to do the Open Directory process to see if they will ever pick-up blogs on their own. Six month since I moved to the top on Google I still get a big goose egg on Open Project.

Yes, I know the graph is basic...I have always been graph challenged.

FYI - I use WebPosition Gold to grab the stats.
