If I have few blogs at blogspot.com, they are with good PR, can it pass the Pr and will it help in ranking, I heard google not considering blogs PR. Can someone clear my bloggy doubt.
Thanks
heres more on it.
"Since blogger.com is linked from google.com, any sites we link to could pass on a fairly high PageRank value. (PageRank is one of the factors that determines what results show up in what order for searches.) In order to remove any possibility of unequal ranking of Blogger-powered blogs in the Google main search index, we send links through a URL from which Google knows to ignore PageRank. This way, Blogger blogs earn PageRank only on the basis of their content and other people linking to them, not because they're powered by a tool owned by Google."
Blogs seem to be the only place left where most of the pages actually link freely to things that are of interest to them, instead of linking only in ways that give a direct advantage. If you have a page on your site that a million blogger consider cool, why shouldn't you get recognition for that?
Anyway, if google didn't like blogs, why would they have bought blogger?
The purchase of blogger came as a result of countless reasons. Thats doesn't mean they like the pr passing functions of these sites, including their own.
Who said anything about not liking blogs? Google likes them just fine: they chew up disk space (and Google may be the most efficient disk farmer in this spiral arm of the galaxy) and they offer chances for ad servers (and Google sells ads) and they have a cool-populist cachet in a geeky sort of way (and Google likes good streetcred in the geek world).
Google just takes precautions to keep interactive blogs from being spammed by drive-by URL-droppers -- which is is a service that bloggers may well appreciate.

It is true what you say, as long as the blogs are not spammed by stupid webmasters. And ,unfortunately that is what happens with the most blogs, where users can contribute without control of the admin at the moment.

that is why, if they target anything, they will target links in the comments.
If a webmaster is able to set up enough blogs of their own, and the put links in the entries, and people are willing to link to their spamblogs, that is no less legitimate than any other form of having multiple websites.
Anyway, blocking links in blog comments is not necessarily the only way to go about dealing with this issue. Most comment spammers have identifiable patterns. It might take a little more work on Google's part, but they could block the links of those that comment spam with a consistant pattern. It would not necessarily catch all the spammers, but it would harm fewer innocent bystanders. And it would not be all that difficult to implement, considering that the vast majority of blogs are using just a few of the main blog engines.
