Well,
Then you guys should bow down your heads and go to blogsearch(dot)google(dot)com and get the answers to your questions.

You need to understand that most people find no use in conventional blogs - that is the blog Joe created to describe what he did the day before - completely useless information, nobody would ever search for it, let his friends go and read it.

The blogs which are worth reading - they have their own domain names(and I dont look at them as "blogs" anyways).

Google figured it out, and istead of completely taking off blogs from their results (i.e. the subdomains from blogspot etc.) they just moved them away from what's more important - the web search results.

You dont have to worry about sacrificing the quality of your search results, as if you look at the numbers I gave you - none of the blogspot results were created by human, thus - no quality to be lost to begin with. And I have never seen a blogspot subdomain with real sentences ranking on MSN EVER. Well, all you have to do is go to your search engine and type in a competitve word and see for yourself.

Or at least, for the love of God, make the links from blog subdomains count for nothing when your algo is at work.

If you guys clear all the blog subdomains from your results you will have probably one of the best results. And this is what I want, as my website ranks great on MSN, but MSN just doesnt generate enough traffic - maybe if you show some clean results more people will move from Google to you, and the monopoly will disappear...I have a dream...
