I read on Search Engine Journal about this really nifty new search engine called FEEDMIL.
Their tag line is: A Long Tail Feed Search Engine
It only searches RSS FEEDS , and drills way down and finds niche sites -- so go there and add your feeds now. More free exposure -- yay!
And then spend some time searching for search phrases that you think your buyers and readers use (see our other AVCOSA discussion that addresses keyword use).
Seeing which sites come up will show you what you need to tweak to make your sites come up higher.
I'm sure you'll have fun seeing where your sites come up -- I was pleasantly surprised for mine. Now, in addition to googling myself, I will also be feedmil-ing too.
Our AVCOSA activity log feed only comes up in the "low" popularity search mode. We don't come up at all in the high/popular search mode. In about the middle (it's a slider button), my blog comes up, as I have an article about AVCOSA that stays on my home page, and I have written several posts mentioning AVCOSA.
Why a search engine just for blogs and tweets and feeds - oh my!?
Well, I do enjoy being able to find just blogs about the subjects I like, and not have to weed out the strictly "item for sale" site. It's a lot more like reading a magazine, not shopping.
I think it's another new "good thing".

My name is Marianne, and I am a collecting addict! And I don't want to be cured. I love everything about antiquing, collecting, and selling. I'm a born-and-raised California Girl, which changed when, after visiting hubby's family back here in Ohio, we got hooked on antiques.

Thanks for all of these tips, Marianne! Now if someone would tell me how to get all of the blogs I follow to show up on my blog I would be thrilled. Very frustrated here.
Hi Kitty -- check out this site - http://blogrolling.com/ - it might be just waht you are looking for. I've been meaning to try it myslef, too. Ah, for more hours in the day! --Marianne
I agree that the blog and some other social networkings are very important for search engine ranking. e.g., silk scarf online shopping.
