4. Searching blogs

Blog Search

When the keyword list is ready, check the keywords you want to get blog posts for (they are all checked by default), and click Search Blogs:

You will see the status of blog searching in the lower left corner:

After blog search is started you can relax a bit and wait until it is complete, or you can do other things that require your attention. Remember, thatSEO Blog Submitter parses blog posts for all the checked keywords in the list, so the whole process will take quite a time.

You can stop parsing at any moment by clicking Search Blogs button one more time:

Analyzing results

After the search is done you’ll see results in the Blog Pages window:

Let’s look at the Blog Pages window in details. Here’s how its menu bar looks like:

Refresh Info button allows refreshing retrieved blog parameters (PR, number of comments, engine type,etc.) for any particular URL. You can use this feature if you have troubles with Internet connection or think that SEO Blog Submitter could not retrieve all the data for a particular blog post because that blog was down at the moment of parsing.

Browse In New Tab button opens a selected blog post in a new tab.

 

Edit Note button allows creating or editing an existing user note about any specific blog post. Use it if you need to save any blog-specific information.

Set Filter button allows filtering a list of blog posts according to your needs. Clear Filter button returns all the settings to default.

The filter interface is very intuitive, so you will have no problems when setting the options. Moreover it explains what every sign within the Blog Pages window mean.

To filter the list of blog posts you should create a new filter:

Then, after you give it a name and set all the required settings, you should save it and click the Apply button:

Set Login button allows setting login and password for blogs that require registration for commenting.

Clear All button clears the list of blog posts for a chosen keyword. If you want to clear lists for all keywords, you should do that separately for every keyword.

Submit To Social Networks button sends any selected blog post to Social Submitter (if you have it installed on your computer) and allows submitting it to more than 250 social bookmarking sites.

As you can see, blog search results are displayed in a grid.

The grid legend is as follows:

· St shows the page status.There are three options: - all information retrieved; - information could not be retrieved; - information is not yet analyzed.

· Url indicates the address of a blog post.

· Nc shows the number of comments for a particular blog post. Usually, if the number of comments is large, the chances are high that your comment will be approved.

· Pr shows PageRank for a particular blog post.

· Dpr shows PageRank for a particular domain. If domain PR is high and blog post PR is low (for example, Dpr=8 and Pr= 0), chances are high that when PageRank is recalculated, that blog post will also receive high PageRank.

· Nf shows whether comments contain nofollow or dofollow links.

· Pl indicates a blog platform for a particular blog: Joomla , WordPress , DotNetNuke , ExpressionEngine , Drupal , and Community Server .

· Sb indicates whether you can or cannot post comments on a particular blog post.

· Rg shows whether a blog requires registration for posting comments.

· Links shows the overall number of links per blog page. If the number is pretty big, this usually means that the blog post is full of spam.

· Nt shows whether you have created a note for a particular blog post . You can create such a note, and edit it by clicking Edit Note button in the menu bar.

· Login and Pass are the fields where you can store logins and passwords for blogs you have registered at. If there are several blog posts located at a domain in parsed lists,SEO Blog Submitter will automatically copy and paste the data you set to all those posts.

· Cm is the checkbox that you should flag every time you leave a comment . This will allow you to track your comments easily in the future.

You can sort blog posts depending on your preferences. For example, you may want posts with high PR or dofollow links in commentsto come first. To sort posts click at the top of the column you’re interested in:
