Google Blog Search

Has anyone had many referrals from http://blogsearch.google.com?

I'm starting to see a lot of traffic come from there.

If you haven't already submit your blog to Google Blogsearch.

Oh, didn't add mine there yet. Does it have a ping URL like http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping ?

[DarrenC]

Sorry, I don't know how you submit your blog - mine just appeared this week and has sent some good traffic.

Yeah I am getting a lot from their Blog search and also Answers.com - seems the traffic coming from the two sources started at the same time.

Nice find, Darren.

You don't submit to it though.

How do I get my blog listed?

If your blog publishes a site feed in any format and automatically pings an updating service (such as Weblogs.com), we should be able to find and list it. Also, we will soon be providing a form that you can use to manually add your blog to our index, in case we haven't picked it up automatically. Stay tuned for more information on this.

Sorry, yes duff information.

Well, people seem to be using it for searching as I've had some good traffic from it for 'travel blog' - can't see myself in the results at the moment though so thats a bit weird.

Unfortunately I haven't seen any traffic from there yet. I am picking up some traffic from bloglines now though, so maybe that will help out my ranking if people are using my feeds on their sites.
