Benefits of Google's Blogsearch

There are many ways of searching for information. Via the standard search the first results pages are owned by the big websites, because of their regularly updated fresh and relevant content.

But what if you want to reach a more specific and user experienced information?
Here comes the Google's blogsearch-http://blogsearch.google.com/ - searching in the updated and new blogs posts. This powerful service could help you to explore fresh websites and look further for appropriate details. It‘s also an ideal way for finding niche full with relevant information.
These are the blogs that couldn't compete with the regular websites, but the information out there is fresh and experienced from the blog owners. I was really impressed how many beautiful niche sites I've found this way.

Alternative: Google Alerts - receive an email when your "keywords" are mentioned somewhere on the web.
I've tried this service but most of the emails I've got were full with irrelevant keywords even if I tried to put them in "quotes".

Cheers!
