It looks like Google is using feeds from Weblogs to display relevant blogs. However I have noticed that some of my recent blogs about companies like <a href="http://www.sinletter.com/blogComment.aspx?id=33" rel="nofollow">Network Engines (NENG)</a> and <a href="http://www.sinletter.com/blogComment.aspx?id=26" rel="nofollow">Medifast (MED)</a> are not getting picked up by Google Finance even though these companies are thinly covered in the regular media and the blog universe. I do ping Weblogs every time I update my RSS feeds. Other "finance bloggers" are also perplexed by this exclusion. If anyone is aware of some sort of filtering mechanism that is used by Google Finance, please do let me know.

If you search for "RFID Labels" Printronix comes up no 1 with all thier financial info and then the rest of the companies in a list form below. This gives the impression that Printronix is the leader in RFID label converting, which they are not. My opinion is that no one company should get preferential treatment in the results delivered when searching with keywords in G finance. >Try a search for “RFID” and it will find companies that operate in the RFID industry.

When you type in Miami Real Estate at the top of the natural listings there is a box that lets you choose sales, rentals and vacation rentals. The results bring you into peoples listing on Google Base. I work with several real estate clients and we work very hard to provide unique content to drive customers to their websites. Is it going to get to the point where a website is irrelevant and everyone is going to have to put their information into a Google owned property like Google Base? I see many problems arising with this in the future. Real Estate agents are just going to bulk upload property after property to drive traffic to their businesses and to make their phones ring. This will result in lots of lots of duplicate content and make the search irrelevant. Google should be spending their time driving traffic to other websites not their own properties.
