What you are talking about is search engine optimization - SEO for
short - which basically means optimizing one's site for the search
engines.

First of all it is quite possible that your blog does appear in the
search engine results but just appears lower in the rankings.  How
many pages of search results did you look through?

All those sites that ARE appearing in your search engine results have
just better optimized their sites for those keywords that you want
YOUR site to be associated with and what YOU have to do to get your
site higher in the rankings is to essentially "out-optimize" those
sites that are appearing higher than your own - you do that by
incorporating those search terms more into the content of your blog.

The search engines don't index your blog automatically - you have to
give them reason to index it.

Besides friends and family, your initial readers will come through the
"Next Blog" link, randomly.  You get more "Next Blog" traffic from
posting more, less from posting less.  And, you'll need this initial
traffic.

Most long term readers will initially find your blog through search
engine hits. You have to get the search engines involved, but you
won't get listed by them, automatically.  You have to do some work,
let them know that you're there, that you want to be listed, and that
you are worthy of being listed.

1) Get your friends to link to your blog, where your blog is relevant.
2) Participate in forums, where your blog is relevant, and include the
URL.
3) Comment on other blogs, in relevant comments, and include the URL.
4) Put relevant and useful content in your blog.
5) Some search engines may index your blog using the site feed.  Be
sure to activate the feed.
6) When you have done all of the above, your blog will have some
weight.  Submit your blog to the search engines, for indexing.
7) Post frequently, and keep the content of your blog moving.

Remember though, none of this happens overnight.  Search engines can
take months to index your blog fully.  And even when indexed, don't
expect for a search to some key element in your blog to give you an
entry on the first page of the search hits.  And remember that owners
of other blogs, like yours, are actively working to be included by
Google too.  Try to ignore the troll who babbles about SEO.
