The Web Explorer

Based on Wikipedia, Technorati is a search engine tool just like Google or Yahoo with one difference, it is only gathering and collecting blog links from blogsphere.The founder of Technorati said that it was founded to help bloggers succeed by collecting, highlighting, and distributing the global online conversation. I have read several pages on Technorati and concluded some important points into the following :

• Technorati only accept blogs as its member.
• Technorati only counts blogs that refer link to your blog. (this is the main difference of Technorati compare to other search engine)
• Authority is the number of blogs that have  linked to a blog page during the last 6 months
• The higher the number of authorities, the higher the blog’s position in blog ranks
• If  there is blog that made  more than one links to your blog, Technorati only counts once.
• The best Technorati authority position is position #1. The smaller the value the better blog position.

I hope these points will help to understand how Technorati works and the last, the best advice that I can tell to raise your blog ranks is writing  good and interesting articles to other bloggers so they don’t hesitate to link your blog. it’s all about content, content, and content.
