Wasting time often hurts. I would concentrate on requesting links or
getting links.

Same here. My observation was that normally I could kick a new page in
24 hrs in Google. After 4 days (IIRC) my blog page was not there, the
5th day only the blog index was spidered, and after 6 days, that was it,
and I changed the url. The next day or so, the pages got fetched.
Temporary hickup of Google? I doubt it.

Yup, and since I try to make my blog more interesting I don't want to be
put on the "I broke my nail" pile.
