A post from Sue Factor on the official Google blog explains what makes a design "Googley." These are fundamental principles that all Google designers and researchers follow - and anyone should consider. Note that first on the list is a basic principle unrelated to design: "Focus on people - their lives, their work, their dreams."
It can be helpful to get traffic to your blog because as more users tune in to Google Blog Search, your site will get more exposure - and this can lead to more traffic and sales. As you start blogging more, your pages will be indexed in the search engines and this can bring more traffic. ------------------------- cynthia jacqulinr social bookmarking
