  This is the site search for your wordpress.com URL: site:http://gadgetnational.wordpress.com/ . It returns 73 hits.

  This is the site search for http://gadgetnational.com/ which returns 51 hits.

  When you get a domain name and map it, things can be a touch flakey for a little while till google figures out you have mapped and then things will settle down and everything will start moving over to the new URL. Figure a month or two, perhaps 3. The good thing is that all your wordpress.com URL’s will automatically map to your new domain URL’s.
