Google will crawl and cache any publicly readable spreadsheet but when displayed in search result, it will direct you to the spreadsheet hosted on EditGrid and not your blog with the embedded spreadsheet.

I finally started using a plug-in called wp-table. It's OK but not feature rich. I do have a question about editgrid: if you use this method of including information, how does google handle it for SEO? Thanks!

I haven't used this particular software before, but have used alot of the Zoho Suite of products to place documents, spreadsheets, and even charts (with some level of success) into different blogs. We have played around with this type of data extensively when releasing our 2007 Chicago Neighborhood report this year. (www.atproperties.com/marketreport) This is our "Beta or 1.0" version of the data but have been looking to take it and incorporate Fusion Charts (www.fusioncharts.com) to make it a little more visually appealing. I might recommend that if you're going to go to all this work to put the Sheet online, that you could spend another 5 mintues taking it to the next level with Fusion Charts??? Thoughts? Great Post and something to play with. Matt Dollinger @properties Performance Coach www.TheYouFactor.com Drew,
