How does it do on Google? I'm obviously not expecting it to do amazingly and I know off site SEO can be done. But, assuming you are tracking that kind of information, are there posts consistently getting hits from our Google overlords?

As much as I like optionally-self-hosted tumblr-like idea, reasonable expectation of getting search engine to rank 'quite high' when, say, 3 fairly niche keywords combined appear in the title and throughout the post would be a benefit.

I can see a lot of spider activity in my logs, but it's only been a month so far. I have not promoted it beyond one HN post and a reddit one.

I don't think I want to do too much tracking, not with third-party analytics anyway. Communities and users can be entirely anonymous, so tracking would be antithetical.
