Boosting Technorati Authority & Rank

In order to promote this blog and make it more successful, I signed up with Technorati. Technorati is the recognized authority on what's happening on the World Live Web, right now. They are currently tracking 105.6 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.

When you sign up with technorati, your blog is ranked. It is called authority, basically the more authority or rank, the more traffic and popularity to the blog.

There is a technique similar to a pyramid scheme, that could potentially build up your links and technorati authority. I figured i would give it a shot. Thanks
P. Morrow's online money for this suggestion.

Possible benefits:
- build up your links
- Blog becomes more popular in Technorati

This is how it works :

1. Click Here and Add me to your Technorati Favorites List
2. Leave a comment once you’ve added me with your Technorati username, blog title and Technorati fav URL and I’ll return the favor
3. You’ll be added to my Technorati Favorites list once your comment has posted

Next, Copy and Paste this info & follow the directions.. (You can copy and paste this whole post, except the intro paragraph)


1) Write a short introduction paragraph about how you found the list, including a link to the blog post that referred you to it.

2) Copy the rules and entire list below and post it on your blog. To avoid duplicate content and increase the number of keywords to each site, change up the titles of the blogs. Just don’t change the links.

3) Take the “My New Faves” and move them into “The Original Faves” list along with your site. Make sure all links are working properly.

4) Add 3 blogs to your Technorati Favorites and link them in the “My New Faves” section. Don’t forget to add the “Fave Me” link next to the new blogs.

5) Add Everyone on this list to your Technorati Favorites List by clicking on “Fave this Site.” Those who want good kharma will fave you back. If not, you will for sure get the benefits of faves from the bloggers who continue this list after you.

Dont forget to add me to your Technorati favorites!

Driving Traffic: step 2 - Blog Rush!!

While I was researching different ways to promote the blog, I came across a new concept...

Blog Rush is John Reese’s brilliant viral marketing widget that cross-promotes your blog content on other members blogs. Blog Rush is 100% free, takes just 30 seconds to sign up for, and gives you complete control over which blogs link to your content.

Because Blog Rush is from John Reese, I knew it would be great, but the moment I watched the video about how it works I had knew it was exactly what what i was looking for!

Imagine links to your blog displaying on hundreds and thousands of other blogs in your niche and only in your niche.

Blog Rush is brand new and just went online two days ago(sept. 15, 2007), but it’s already creating a sign up frenzy. Why?

- Awesome 1:1 reciprocal traffic page display
- Super easy blog traffic widget installs in seconds
- Your content links display only on related blogs in your niche
- Keyword filter blocks unwanted “bad neighborhood” links
- URL filter blocks unwanted sites from displaying your link
- Gain additional 1:1 page displays from referrals
- Googlebot can follow Javascript links

Can you picture the traffic from thousands of incoming links?
Don't miss your chance to get in on this before its too late, check out blog rush this instant!

I will post the traffic results from this as soon as they are available!






Driving Traffic: Step 1

We all know that a blog without traffic, will not make money. My first step in creating a million dollar blog will be Promoting the blog.

The first thing I'm going to do in order to drive traffic to my blog, is list it in a blog directory. The directory I chose to use was Blogcatalog. In order to verify blog ownership, BlogCatalog requires you to place a BlogCatalog Widget or a link on your blog back to BlogCatalog.

Linking back to Blog Catalog is required and will ensure that no one else claims your blog as well as help BlogCatalog to continue to provide quality exposure to your Blog.

I will also be listing this blog in several other free blog directories that work similar to blog catalog. You will be able to see the links to these directories to the left.


In a few days I will post how many visitors my blog receives from the blog directories, if any.
