this isn't really anything to shout home about, but i just noticed my Technorati ranking has changed overnight from 1,400,000+ to 779,857.
could it be the blogcatalog influence?? :-)
and my mind-blowing authority of 3 has doubled to become a huge 6 haha

i think that because technorati has so many blogs with so few links that those first links you get will result in the biggest ranking increase.-
that makes sense. good info...
-
-
Yeah, it definitely gets harder to move up when you get in the top 5000
-
It's hard even to get into the top 10,000...I got stuck there and the decreasing factor now is so slow...(snail like motion) tskkk...tskkkk... -
my next step is to pass the top 10 000 -
done, i'm around 9600 now!
-
Way to go JP!
-
-
LoL top 5000 thats funny
I wish I started blogging like 10y ago now I would be millionaire girl-
top 500,000 is my next goal! :-)
-
-
Congratulations! Heh top 5000 might be hard but I'm having a hard enough time with 50000. -
I went to check on my ranking, but Technorati seems to be down. AGAIN! The Tech could have such huge potential, but seems to keep failing far too often. My problem with incoming links is that they keep dropping off the other end of the 180 day period...-
I read somewhere that your Technorati ranking is not permanent, after 180 days if there's no changes to the ranking you might get down the rank again.
So make sure a continous effort is made especially if you had join the Technorati Train....don't let it die...or risk plonking the rank and starting all over again...
-
-
well the ranking has come down a little bit more: 546,607.....
heading in the right direction anyway! -
how do we check our technorati ranking? i went to technorati, at my profile there's no ranking whatsoever?? how to check? -
borzack: when you've logged in to technorati, go to the Home Page and find where it says "Your Blogs". Under your Blog name should be an "Authority" rating. Click this and on the next page your ranking should be displayed.
Hope that helps,
--steve-
Yes! I see it now Thanks Steve.
Mine is: Authority: 6 - Rank: 787,323
Is this any good?
I think I have a looooooooong way to go
-
-
well I am not even on the rankings yet -
As far as I'm aware you're inbound links are scrapped by Technorati after 6 months, so you need to keep writing great content and getting new links in order to keep improving.-
Awww David... THAT sucks! If Technorati really wanted to do anything like that, prpbably a better way to do it would be rotating links... your first month's links vanish on the 6th month, and the 2nd month's links are scrapped on the 7th month, etc... but to scrap them at once?
That means my blog and newyorktimes.com stand shoulder to shoulder after 6 months? lol -
I don't think they scrap them in bulk...I think each one drops off as it reaches the 180 day point.
-
-
-
Aha! 496,924 is my new ranking...not a bad improvement in 5 days.
-
56k for mine, been there for a while.
Cymru reminds me so much of entering wales to goto Chepstow when I was in the Army -
My blog MPL had a rank of about 200,000 before I joined a couple of community blogrolls, instantly I went to about 12,000. Probably not the best way to get some rank, but I never see much traffic from there anyway, must be doing something wrong (link joinng huge community blogrolls maybe) -
Technorati gives me such headaches as far as pinging...that I know I have more traffic than it shows...and I go on that. -
hey , how important the technorati is? im confuse. -
Its important but not the end all of end all...its just nice to see when others notice your blog.
-
Haha, I've got an authority of a whopping 0 -
Haha, my blog boosted to 99,940 after participating in Problogger`s Top 5 contest=) -
How does the authority increase ???
I have been kind of clueless regarding how it works.-
Enlight,
Authority is a measure of how many ppl link to you. So, to increase the authority, you need to make ppl link to you.
BlogCatalog probably on of the best place to begin with. Find other blog that has same interest as you and request for link exchange. It works both way.
my 2 cents.
-
-
mine is Authority: 21 - Rank: 238,005 now
-
and mine's Authority: 21, Rank: 238,005 - exactly the same as yours borzack and a slight improvement over the figures at the top of this thread from 9 days ago
-
wow! how cool is that!
-
-
Woah, I've got an Authority of 1 now. I don't know what to say, hehe
-
I installed a Firefox plugin SearchStatus, it shows the PageRank, Alexa Rank and a Compete Rank? What's a compete rank?? Is Alexa Rank important? How do we improve this rank?
-
Congrats cymrusteve! -
I've been trying to install the following Alexa and Technorati plugins, but one line of code keeps blowing up. It looks so simple, but.....
ericulous.com/2007/04/26/add-a-alexa-rank-widget-in-3-simple-steps/
ericulous.com/2007/04/25/add-a-technorati-rank-widget-in-3-simple-steps/
I like how the widgets are only 80 pixels wide - very neat and tidy, unlike the ones you get from the Alexa web site.
Oh well, I've spent too much time on this already. Onto another weekend project.
--Steve -
PS Technorati ranking now 191,223 - it's coming down
-
Okay, someone remind me what these things mean! I read once and I saw that a low number was good for one of them and a high number was good for another and I cannot remember which is which!
Right now my one blog has an auathority of 145? Cannot find the other number ...what does this mean! giggle. -
Oh, okay, I found the rank: 29,841
And my new blog that I just added yesterday has a rank of 2,078,611. LOL...so, I'm assuming a lower rank number is better!-
Yes it is. Authority is the number of blogs that link to you if I'm not mistaken. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong of course...

I am at Authority 44 and Rank 109,519 in Technorati right now for The Online Presence Blog (OnlinePresence.BlogSailor.com/). My next aim is to get the ranking into the 50,000-75,000 range. -
Guess I have a ways to go. My authority is 14, rank 364,419 -
Hey Lainey,
You'll get there. Look at my stats 12 days ago (at the top of this discussion) They're only numbers anyway. As long as you enjoy what you do, who cares about the rankings and the ratings? -
Blog Catalog is certainly the best blog directory I've found. Many folks from here have visited my site, and even left nice comments.
Thank you fellow bloggers!

Hmm, I always forget to check technorati...I dont get any traffic from it and I dont have the time to network on all these sites. I believe I was subscribed to delicious to, but havent been there for ages. Do these sites work in the same way as BlogCatalog? -
I started to become more active on BC when I noticed people were adding my site...that felt really good too! Thanks you guys
-
I get some traffic from Technorati. It is difficult to predict and understand.
One of my blog prolight.blogspot.com/
got a authority jump (from near zero to 30 then back to 29). I am not sure why that happened. It could be because I joined a Blog University blog roll at that time.
Anyway I think because of that I got 107 visitors from Technorati. Now it is going down and again I an not too sure why.
One the other hand I joined the BlogCatalog buzz see
on
web.weiersmuller.org/
organized by monawea
as a result of that my authority when up to 12 (from near zero again)!
Hopefully this is going to bring some visitors in.-
My authority is very low (4-6) for all of my blogs and I have only one ranking that's under 1 million (and that only by a hair), and yet I regularly get traffic from Technorati. The really funny thing about it is that it's often on odd terms--things I've only mentioned in one post, and that should be competitive enough that I wouldn't be popping up at all. I can't quite figure out how they rank their search results.

Did everyone notice the Technorati Rank is back on the Technorati site?
It got dropped for a while...
www.cymru66.com/blogging/what-happened-to-my-technorati-rank/ -
yep...mine jumped from like 495,000 to 236,386! how fabulous is that??? -
the funny thing about my technorati rank was that my number of links started to drop!! and i def havent been around for 6months!!! -
Extremely fabulous - congrats!
-
haha...thank you dahlin'...
-
-
Still don't get how Technorati works, is there any way you can promote it or does it just follow links people have made to your website?
-
Congrats Steve and thanks guys for explaining the Technorati thing a little better for me. I need to get on the ball with getting my ranking up. They're just numbers, but its exciting when they go up! lol.
Thanks again!

You could join the Technorati Favorite Exchange Train
for a start...
www.doshdosh.com/blog-website-promotion/technorati-favorites-exchange/ -
Mine changed also a lot thanks to sexyinred and cyrumsteve and others!
-
The cool thing is, we're all helping each other. A link here, a comment there, the odd stumble....it all helps.
Just wanted to say thanks to all who have helped with my current position. A lot has changed since I joined BlogCatalog and it's all for the better!-
exactly! my traffic has increased, my technorati ranking has increased and i've made the best friends!!! i love blogcatalog!
-
I love blogcatalog too! I still have a long way to go with Technorati though.
-
-
Technorati Favorites do not seem to be of any benefit. However the link exchanges DO work and DO increase the authority. I have noted using Google Analytics as well as SiteMaster that as my ranking / authority increases I get more hits and more connections from unique sources and searches.
It IS a lot of effort and it does involve a lot of time but it pays off. I have gone from 14 to 100+ in 2 weeks. YES I would love to be higher but that is the speed of making the connections with other sites and people.
In our case we need exposure to bring Public Relations pressure to allow our son to be united with us in Albania. It is difficult but the more exposure we get the more attention the pen pushers in Government seem to pay. It worked really well in Ethiopia and we finished there well, now it is time to get him actually with us.
So anyone want to link for a good cause? If so add us and if possible a short story about Alex to your site. alex-roadtofreedom.blogspot.com
Thanks-
Excellent points. I stumbled the site about Alex a day or so ago and would encourage others on BlogCatalog to do the same. Good luck!

-
Hi cymrusteve, congrats to you.
Though I have a Technorati account, I've not fully leverage on its potential. Glad to pick up a few pointers here. Cheers!-
You're welcome!
-

That happened to me too, one day a trillion million, next day, 945,627! Perhaps they reset the server or something.
-
They must have reset the server, I just checked and mine is under 100,000 for the first time ever (not that it's been close or anything before..) - Rank: 97,797
-
I joined the Technorati train a while back.....faved about 340 blogs and was faved by 105 fans....rank went fom 880,00 to Rank: 132,985
I also went from authority of 5 (links) to authority of (38) links...thanks to 4 memes and link exchanges.....
I haven't had time to look at google ( I think I have 0) or alexa....(where I am up in the 100s of 1,000s) -
hmmm...i was just checking my technorati...did you know i've been a member since december 31, 1969???
-
I'd love to see the computer you were on back then...
Something like this?
-
haha...and considering i was only 7, i must have a child prodigy
-
I'm reading these tips with interest. I joined technorati ages ago but havn't so far spent time trying to increase my rankings there. LOL there just dosn't seem to be enough time to do everyhting I need to do lately. -

I went from authority of 27 to 70 (Rank: 67,984) in the last week because I joined Viralink. If you haven't already and you wish to improve your rank check it out here.
plusultrapics.blogspot.com/2007/05/viralink.html -
Interesting to dig up this old discussion from May 7th, where I posted my Technorati Rank was 779,857 and my Authority a huge 6!
Today my Rank is down to 62,195 and my Authority 79.
For anyone who doesn't have a clue what I'm talking about:
Technorati Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has.
Technorati Rank is calculated based on how far you are from the top. The blog with the hightest Technorati Authority is the #1 ranked blog. The smaller your Technorati Rank, the closer you are to the top. -
Wow! Good for you, Steve. Could this be caused by your Viralink campaign? My authority kept on increasing too because of Viralink. -
I think that's a factor for sure. I've also looked at a few of the Technorati Exchange posts online and personally contacted a few of the participants whose blogs interested me. Most were very appreciative of an "add" and added me back.
Just need to keep up the hard work. After 180 days these links will drop away unless they're renewed.
Good job yourself gabotron. Making quite a name for yourself on here... -
That's why I think D-listing maybe a way to "circumvent" the 180 day limit. Other than that, you need content soooooo good that everyone wants to link you (if they don't copy outright, that is) -
Oh yes, I forgot about the D-listing! Thanks for the reminder..
-
heh heh ... you are welcomed
I'm currently at authority 20. Rank 303k. Looking to go under 100k by month end.
So guys, if you love my post. Do let your readers know about my wonderful self improvement site, ok? And steve is a wonderful guy -
Shameless plug for karenlim:
Here's a link to Karen's great site - www.secretofunlimitedprosperity.com/
I must warn you though, there's so much good stuff to read you'll need to block off some time to work your way through the articles...
Enjoy!
--Steve -
> could it be the blogcatalog influence?? :-)
Best way to find out is to check "blog reactions" and try to figure out how you know the bloggers who linked to you. Maybe they're all friends from BC-- or maybe you're just really interesting to the general blogosphere. -
I am waiting on bc approval for my technorati blog it's setup just for getting votes..take a peek I hope to get it approved soon makemepopular.blogspot.com
-
congrats steve.im at 79,000+ and looking to making it to 50,000 this week. i need many technorati faves. hope i can get that this week as well. -
Im in the 80,000 mark somewhere, Im sure I will stick at some point, lol -
Wow, this is an old post!
Currently I have 269 fans and an authority of 178 and somehow I've made it into the Top 100 Most Favorited blogs too: technorati.com/pop/blogs/?faves=1
For the record, my rank is 27,375...
If you're unsure of the Technorati terminology:
Technorati Authority is the number of blogs linking to a website in the last six months. The higher the number, the more Technorati Authority the blog has.
Technorati Rank is calculated based on how far you are from the top. The blog with the hightest Technorati Authority is the #1 ranked blog. The smaller your Technorati Rank, the closer you are to the top.
Good luck with whatever your goals are,
--Steve-
how do you know you made it to the top ranking? do you have to watch every day?
and I've seen other people share they made it to the top....of something...like a search..or what is that? Not that many people can be #1.
-

Only one of mine (Aircrew Buzz) is in the top 100,000 -- ranked 70-something thousand, last time I looked. The others are drifting along.
FWIW, Aircrew Buzz has been around since early 2005, while the others are much newer. I think it just takes awhile sometimes for blogs to be "found," especially those (like mine) that inhabit a rather obscure niche.
That said, I've never been really sure just what a Technorati rank does for me or my blog(s). And I'm getting real tired of page changes in Technorati taking forever and a day to load -- so I hardly go there these days, for any reason. -
You all have time to check your Technorati rating? Sigh. If you keep at it...you'll be like me a wishing for fewer ...I cannot keep up with my blog responses any more, much less do anything else...I need to win the lottery so I can stay home and blog.
-
Okay, okay, so you all got me to go look again...here's my stats:
Authority: 276
Rank: 15,330
Is that good? I have to look up what it means each time! Sigh! -
I keep on pinging everytime I updated my site but It doesnt work. -
it was successfully pinged! Finally my technorati was working now!
-
Yup, mine worked today for the first time in about 18 days, too.
-
-
from the 7 authority it jumps quickly to 32! WOW! that happens in just 1 day!!!
