I sure don’t. I can find lots of splogs that lift their (and other’s) content though.
Now do the same search in Digg. There they are! It appears to me that many of the most relevant blogs appear in Digg (as they should…) and are nowhere to be found in Google blog (or news) search.
This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post I made regarding brand monitoring and Google. In that post I mentioned that Google was providing me with a 30/70 signal to noise ratio. My tests so far with Digg indicate a 70/30 ratio. Far fewer splogs, much more original content.

I’d think technorati would provide much better results than Digg… I also suspect that Digg is only one of the major bookmarking applications. Where as technorati is the major blog ranking service.
Other good ideas would be to get into something like MyBlogLog, and perhaps integrate it’s spiders. I know that Yahoo already have MyBlogLog.
I think Google is keen to encourage the splogs… most of them live at blogSpot and google already has the ability to police them.
