Users Getting Added Exposure, Probably More Traffic

The main problem is, it's

The main problem is, it's not fair. Bloggers should be the ones who should react. Perhaps Google can introduce a manual report option, like the ones in place in Google Webmaster Tools for various things. This way we could report a website that's not supposed to be in a certain Google search manually and it's a few seconds of job for someone at Google to have a look at it and verify it.

Wow!

Oh my gosh, I would be thrilled if my web site showed up in extra google results anywhere, though I can totally see how this would affect and upset pro-bloggers.

be grateful

"Should webmasters be upset if their sites are included in Google Blog Search?"

No. Instead webmasters should keep their mouths shut and be grateful for getting some extra traffic to their websites.

Google Penalties for Blogs

I'm finding just the opposite to be true. I have a number of niche sites and most of them have a blog page. I'm finding that nearly every time I post a blog entry, my site suffers a sandbox affect. I'm thinking that Google is starting to view blogs as a spam effort more and more. Other people I've talked to have mentioned the same observation. Seems that all of the social network posts are starting to get lower and lower rank as well.

It's my opinion (and that's all it is) that goog may be viewing social networks as just a place to seed spam links. After all, there IS a great deal of that going on.

Maybe just paranoia but it seems that way to me.

Given that many dont get to

Given that many dont get to the first page normally anyway on popular keywords.. if my site had a lot of competition i would be glad if i suddenly found my site in that position on page 1.

The only ones i guess who wouldnt be too happy would be those competitors already on page 1.
