Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon: Google gives preference to Blogger/Blogspot.

Flooding the Earth with the Book of Mormon

(One drop at a time.) My journal entries about offering copies of the Book of Mormon, the Bible, and other LDS church books, mainly to immigrants in their native language, mainly in Indianapolis, Indiana. With 106 translations, the Book of Mormon (along with the Bible) is a good "Rosetta Stone" for learning English or other languages, in addition to being a missionary tool.

My goals in keeping this blog/journal are: to encourage others to offer people copies of the Book of Mormon and the Bible, to illustrate the incredible number of recent immigrants who are eager for bilingual material, to illustrate the ease of encountering them and offering them material, and to make known the wonderful deeds of the Lord (Ps 105:1, Isa 12:4) in arranging many of these encounters. I realize that the concept of offering foreign language books to strangers is just plain weird to many people, so here are some hints if you are intrigued by this and wish to try it. Respectful comments and constructive criticism are invited.

The goal of the book placement effort is to provide, in a friendly non-threatening way, gospel material to someone who is willing to receive it in their native language and English.

To the recipients of these books who read this: I thank you again for allowing me to be of service to you. I encourage you to read the material, and pray to God that He confirm the truth of it to you. The Bible and the Book of Mormon are both the Word of God. Living according to their teachings brings happiness.

Google gives preference to Blogger/Blogspot.

Over the years, I've noticed that blogs (and blog posts) on Blogger (blogspot.com) not only get listed quicker on Google than on Yahoo (which is natural since Google owns Blogger/Blogspot, but also get listed higher on Google than other search engines.

I've also noticed that when you post to your blog, its ranking in Google's search results goes higher for a couple days, even the older posts. It's as if Google factors in "time since last post" in their ranking algorythm.

Wordpress seems to be the better blogging platform from a technical perspective, but it sure appears to me that Google plays favorites with Blogger/Blogspot.
