Is there a possible way to automatically ping your blogger blog, just as what WP does?
if you use Windows Live Writer for publishing your posts, you can set it to be auto-pinging your blog every time you update your blog.
I will definitely try this out on the next Blogger powered website I'll be putting up. I've had it with WordPress and Drupal.

Sending your blog's sitemap to Google Webmaster will help your blog crawl instantly by google bots.
Having a sitemap is more important than getting your website seen and recognized.
