Re: Hacking Google News?
Something to ponder: according to Google's newly-defunct Adwords program, "blog" currently gets searched for 69,200 times a month. (If this tickles you, I've posted other Adwords search tallies here and here.) One other piece of empirical data to consider.

Although these publications have never yet come close to the Google's "front page," they do show up when people search for news from their obscure areas. Since last week, each paper is averaging 15 visitors a day from News.Google. So my bet is that a front page link from Google will be worth 10 to 100X more than 450 visits, particularly if News.Google succeeds in joining the Drudge/CNN rotation that compulsive news-watchers surf.
