Research Tip Tuesday

Want to know what people are saying about a particular agent or subject? Google Blog Search specifically searches blogs (all blogs, not just Blogger) for your search term or phrase. Advanced options also allow you to filter and search by date. I use it all the time for my spotlights!

Next week, I have a fabulous tip from Samantha Clark. Look forward to it! Want to see your own tip featured? E-mail me at agentspotlight(at)gmail(dot)com.

    Casey--does it search blog titles and labels, or does it search actual blog post content? Do you know?

    Heather - It searches both the title and the content, but it prioritizes by titles and links first. So, the first search results you see will be those with the keyword or phrase in the title of the post, then those with links, and then those with straight content.

    Try an agent that doesn't have a lot of online presence, like Nancy Gallt, and you'll see!
