Discover what topics and personalities are trending on blogs only. BlogPulse is not a search engine for the world wide web, but only a tool to search and analyze blogs and their content. It can be used as a search engine for blogs (blogs can be submitted to the site for free) and as a trending tool, to see what people and issues are currently being blogged about the most.

You can find out how many new blogs are being created and identified by and submitted to the site. BlogPulse lets you create charts and compare popularity of specific topics, follow discussions that spread form individual blogs and analyze a blog’s presence and influence.

You can also find the most popular links appearing in today’s blogs and find out how many blogs link to a specific site.

For any search we’re used to simply typing a few keywords into a search engine, but what if you want to search better? What if you you’re searching for help from experts instead of just info from a news or other authoritative website? What if you’re searching for investigative reports on a topic or ancient history? How do you search better? Noodletools offers a very useful questionnaire you can use to refine your search and get better search results quicker. Simply answer a few questions and it’ll suggest the best sources to start your search.

Search YouTube with instant search results. Results change with each letter you add to the search box on YTInstant.com and a video pops right up based on Google’s search suggestions. YouTube Instant was created by Feross Aboukhadijeh as a response to the new Google Instant in a bet with his roommate. YouTube Instant was built using a combination of the YouTube API and YouTube search suggestions. Feross is promising on his blog to make it even faster and add more features. Sounds great!

Search millions of conversations from social networks, blogs and other social media channels with BackType.com. You’ll also see what’s currently popular and being talked about on the web. This is not the only search engine for social media websites, but one more useful tool when it comes to tracking trends and brands.

Search for keywords inside Twitter bios is made simple with the search feature on TweepSearch’s website. Native Twitter search covers lots of types of searches already, but if you’re looking for specific keywords within Twitter accounts’ bios, it’s impossible to get clear results. For example, try a Twitter search for ‘webdesigner’ and you’ll see that unless you use the keyword ‘webdesigner’ as your actual name, you won’t come up in the search results at all. TweepSearch lets you search within the bios of the followers of a specific user, or all the bios on Twitter in general.

Track your website’s keywords throughout the social media world with SamePoint. It pulls up results from user generated content such as blogs, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Wikipedia, Simpy, Digg, Delicious, YouTube, Facebook and other sites. Use this site to see what people are publishing in real-time and what’s trending. What makes this different from simply going to the usual search engines for results, is that these results are in real time. Even though the major search engines are also adding real time results, their main results still come from data bases. SamePoints’ results are not just useful for marketers, but also for finding new sites for back links and to track what people are saying about your brand.

If certain parts of your site aren’t spiderable, search engines can’t reach your pages. If you want to check if your pages are accessible to search engines, use a tool like
WebConfs’ spider simulator. Flash based content, content generated through javascript, content displayed as images etc may not be visible to search engines. This tool simulates a search engine by displaying the contents of a webpage exactly how a search engine would see it. It also displays the hyperlinks that will be followed (crawled) by a Search Engine when it visits the particular webpage.

Try a different way of searching with Clusty. It displays search results individually, or grouped by ‘clusters’, search engines or domains.

Based on Google search results of course, this Google tool shows you relevant keyword ideas and their Adwords competition for your website.
