Google finally indexed this blog, yay! Having your own domain name (and not some hidden folder on a free hosting service) does help a bit - make it a lot. I did have to make a few links to the blog, but it seems that Google didn't see them - or at least didn't manage to gather up all the data together yet.
I was hoping to see a little increase in the traffic - but so far nothing. Because of this, I decided that I need to place some keywords around - the subtitle of the blog, or the title of the homepage. As for the links - I think I'll have look at technorati and other blog indexes. Somehow I feel this might be the answer to the traffic problem.
