Another reason is that users may do their search through Technorati or Google Blogsearch, hence they do not need to add the keyword "blog". The profession counts as well. If one is looking for a designer one can certainly read their blog and get a better idea of their expertise, than if they were to read a lawyer's blog. That is because blogs are considered informal.

The same would be with "site" word.... When you are looking for something then you are expecting to find site/blog. But it is always good to target as longest keywords as possible. Competition is lower. Surely, blog as a search term isn’t valuable at all. The same would be with “site” word…. When you are looking for something then you are expecting to find site/blog.

So putting the word 'blog' at the end of a GOOD long tail phrase doesn't diminish the value of the phrase! NYC personal injury attorney / NYC personal injury lawyer is tons better than saying..... "cool legal blog" - yeah i agree. Geoff D.

It should just be synonymous with webpage anymore. The format is the same, content is delivered, and it is more just a form of communication anymore. These days you can go past sites that are based on Wordpress, but look nothing like blogs - it's just "internet" anymore... ;) “Blog” is such a common term anymore.
