Google blog search

Obviously I am behind in understanding Google Blog search.  I see some web sites manage to show up in the blog search results as relevant blogs, which is nice.  I don’t even have my relevant blogs showing up yet.  Google has a help page which discusses how to submit http://www.google.com/help/blogsearch/about_pinging.html and how to ping them when you update your blog, http://blogsearch.google.com/ping 

Still working Traffic flow and link development.  We have a wonderful site at http://www.caddyinfo.com  for automotive related links and Site and Forum Sponsors.  I think this is a regular marketing and advertising problem, so I have been learning more about the topics and looking under the rocks people recommend.  Cadillac, luxury, auto accessories, auto loans, auto insurance, or other directly related Sponsors would be ideal.   Caddyinfo.com traces back to Feb of 1998 on an older, free message board system.  Now I am trying to get more focused so that we can reach a wider audience of Cadillac owners.
