So What is Technorati?
Technorati is an internet search engine for blogs with a dynamic ranking system.
Technorati is like Google for blogs, this is a good thing because it is so much easier to rank well on Technorati since the majority of bloggers do not know how it is done.
How does Technorati work?
Technorati aggregates RSS (Really simple syndication) feeds in real time from the internet and sorts the posts it finds into categories using Technorati tags. After sorting posts into their proper categories Technorati offers visitors the ability to further sort the posts by freshness, by topic and by authority.
What are Technorati Tags?
Technorati tags are labels that writers assign to articles in order to tell Technorati what the article is about. Wordpress blogs uses plugins to make this task simple however wordpress version 2.5 has rendered most plugins obsolete. Technorati is now able to use an article’s category name as its tag.
What is Technorati authority?
Technorati authority is a system in which points are assigned to blogs based on the number of other blogs that link to it. When another blog links to yours you gain one authority point however subsequent links from the same blog do not give you additional points. Technorati ignores points older than 6 months.

- Choose blogs with an authority of around 10-50 because if it is too low then that I assume that blog doesn’t have worthwhile content. Now some of those blogs with 1-10 authority might be new but I do not want to waste time and guess.
- Once you have chosen dozens of these blogs, you need to visit them and check them out. Look for their most recent posts and try to find a good one.
- Now that you have one chosen one good post from each of the dozens blog, you need to link to those post. Just link to them in anyway on your blog. What you can do is a “post of the week” thing in which you link to those profitable blogs. Most of them will visit you and half will link back to you.
- Do not link to the top blog just because others are doing it. In most cases they will hardly notice you and they are already popular. Link to the newborn blogs and they will gladly visit you and even link to you.
- Just make to link to all of these profitable blogs in your post. Dedicate one of your post a week for linking to others.That is basically it and remember choosing the right people is EVERYTHING in this technique.
