I know that BLOGGER.COM is a trade mark from Google Inc.
But THOUSANDS of BLOGS from this company are showing in the Yahoo Search results…

BLOGS with any relevant/good contend -and just used only to increment keyword density and ranking- are gripping Yahoo!

Is any alliance between Yahoo & BLOGGER.com that maybe I do not know?
:confused:

There's no connection between Yahoo and Blogger.com - except for Yahoo's enthusiasm for blogs and syndication feeds (RSS, mainly) in general.

Which key phrases do you think blogs are scoring unfairly high for in Yahoo?

On the other hand backlinks from Blogs (most spam) still show in Yahoo and not in Google.

They don't show up as backlinks at Google, but most backlinks don't because the link: command isn't intended to show them any more.

Most Blogger sites I run show very well on Yahoo but fail to show up on the first 10 pages of Google.
Yahoo seems to understand that relevance by keyword and topic are important. Dead-on "on topic" keyword Blogger sites are not well recieved by Google unless they are supported by numerous inbound links.
Yahoo is less reliant on such link support. It's refreshing.

In addition I believe to some extent Yahoo is paying special attention to Blogger content because Google is not. An in-your-face move to show Google they are too strict with reliance on links?

Yes, no doubt.
But what if your Blog's content isn't relevance for humans?

That's my point. Yahoo seems to LOVE irrelevant content for human visitors. So, too many spamming campaigns are been handle by doing Blogs.

"Contests to see how many Blogs a person can do", reveals the easy way to spammers.

Where is the search experience?

Google is another story; it looks like they care about visitors more than keyword density.

Carlos, I understand what you are saying. My experience is direct, on-topic blogs are more appreciated by Yahoo.

If you are good at link hunting and gathering you can pretty up any page for Google.

*Lately I am wondering why Google ever bought Blogger. Maybe they plan on buying (or building) a blog search engine. Certainly the data from Blogger has some value to them.
