The issue is that its not 2005 anymore. An organic blog that doesn't play the SEO game will just be buried by the millions of junk websites that play that game, and won't get traction like they did in the era where searching for a topic on the internet brought up relevent nonspam results.

Someone just needs to make a niche search engine that caters specifically to blogs. Preferably as a labor of love instead of a get rich quick scheme.
That is a bug in search engines though, not in blogs.
It's the way the internet is now, though, and it makes it so that is harder for average people to find and read and write blogs than it was years ago. In other words, it's tough going back to horses when all the stables in the city are gas stations now.
