you'll see in prior posts if you haven't already that about 2 weeks ago the google gadget system pretty much crapped out. i haven't heard a peep from google on this and i've had to rename and resubmit over 60 gadgets to get them back in the directory. all of them showed less than 100 users after this debacle. apparently current users of your gadget still have it and it is functional, but they'd never find it if they searched for it in the directory. so that means no new users other than referrals from those who already have it unless you rename the xml file and resubmit it. the limit is 10 per day so it took me 6 days basically to get them back in the directory. with no word of advice from google, i didn't know what else to do. my revenue from these gadgets stopped when the system collapsed. Good Luck.
