Seize Your Websites.
To make good use of your Technorati profile, create it and then begin to claim your blogs. When you claim a blog, you prove to the Technorati web site that you own that blog, which will then allow you to view interesting statistics and metrics.
Load your Photo.
With over 100 million blogs on the Technorati web site, it’s important to use every means at your disposal so that your blog stands out. An uploaded picture will appear on many places on the site.
- There is a small thumbnail image on the front of each title of a blog post.
- In the list of people who have favorited a blog.
Contribute a selection about yourself that is interesting.
To make your profile stand out from everyone else’s, you can write a selection with some eye-catching information as a short biography. This will show up on your page along with your photo and will also show up on the fan list for other blogs as well.
Blogs You Prefer
Find your favorite blogs in Technorati and add them to your list of favorites. If you uploaded your picture as recommended above, your picture will show up on the Technorati page for your favorite blogs. Not only will that attract the attention of the blog owner, but other people interested in that blog may click on your picture to see who you are and what blogs you write.
Include links to other websites and blogs when you post.
Linking to other blogs in your posts is Blogging 101. How this relates to Technorati is that your post will be shown to the owner of the blog you linked to, in the Blog Reactions section. WordPress uses information from Technorati to show incoming links in the admin dashboard. (After version 2.3 WordPress uses Google Blog Search instead.)
