Comment (by WraithKenny):

 WordPress has this widget which maybe be useful for some users, but not so
 much for a fresh installed blog (and other user may not even be
 interested). According to a quick read of ScottJWalter's comment, Google
 gets 'unusual traffic', and turns it off for "robots" via a captcha check
 (default WordPress probably counts in this regard). Perhaps we should
 respect that, and turn it off by default (for new installs), and let users
 turn it on if they want, via a plugin or option.
