Seize Your Websites. To use Technorati effectively, you need to create a Technorati profile for yourself and then claim your blogs. To claim a blog means to show Technorati that you own the blog, and this gives you access to various statistics about your blogs.
Load your Photo.
With over 112.4 million blogs on Technorati you need to use every available method to stand out from the crowd. A picture that you upload will show up in many places on Technorati:
- 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.
Add an Interesting Paragraph About Yourself
Another way to stand out from the crowd is to add a paragraph with interesting information as a short bio in your profile. This is shown on your profile page and together with your picture in the list of fans for a blog that you have added as your favorite.
Favorite Your Favorite Blogs
Locate your favorite Technorati blogs, then add them to your favorites list. If you have properly followed the above instructions to upload your picture, it will also show up on your favorite blogs page. This will alert the blog owner, as well as potentially draw new readers, who may click on the picture to see more about you and your blogs.
Make sure you link to other 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.)
