    I was just wondering, does anyone have any kind of information on how many searches are being done on http://blogsearch.google.com/ ? I'm ranking for some pretty good terms, but getting almost no traffic at all from them.

    I am number one in quite a few terms.
    But then again I run a blog host website :)

    To answer your question, I never use it, and I don’t think any of my users do either.

    Rarely see a referrel from it, not sure what get's in or doesn't. I've got some blogs in both this and the "real" directory, others only in one.

    Probably just another Beta Program that they lost interest in and will let die on the vine.

    In the entire history of my site, I haven't gotten any referrers from Google Blog Search, but again, my site only gets around 400 referrers from Google per month.

    Ditto DM - no referrals from GBS.

    While this is quite depressing, does anyone actually have any figures? The best I can do is this - I ran a keyword analysis on 'google blog' and the top searched term - google blog (obviously :eek: ) - was searched only 1812 times last month on Overture US...

    Now I know this is lacking in that loads of people would have the blog in their favourites, but it may be an indication that its just, well... not popular really...?
