  Once a domain is purchased through wordpress.com, will google pick this up?

  Yes. It can take a few hours but it will happen if your chosen blogs settings allow search engines to pick up information from your site.

  Yes. If you already have a blog with a page rank, it will go back to 0 for a few or several months. You’ll also lose your Technorati rank and will have to rebuild. But the search engines will be there.

  I host my WP.com blog on my own domain and not only does Google pick up my posts, my RSS feeds have also been seamlessly transferred with no additional work from me with the exception of Technorati. WordPress rocks!
