It doesn't work this way, but you're right that I'm probably undercounting. GAE writes once for the entity and then once for each index - not for each property. You get as many properties as you want (up to the 1MB entity size limit) "free" as long as they are unindexed. Still, each indexed property is two additional writes (one asc, one desc) and must be factored in to the plan. On the other hand, only a small percentage of the OP's 40k page views are likely writes, and "overage" is ten cents per 100k writes. This is not his/her problem.
