Congratulations. Yes, I have also noticed that my new follower influx seems to have recently (within the past week or two) taken on a life of its own (in a good way) which will only EXPEDITE reaching the next milestone (600 followers) where I can then do my usual free edit/proofread giveaway. I am also wondering what might be causing this influx. You mention Google. Could it be other factors also? Where do you think we might find this information? Keep it up...
