How to Increase Technorati Rank
Recently I was asked by a reader for some ideas on improving the Technorati rank of a blog. Ultimately it is good content that will increase the Technorati rank of your blog. Technorati rank is based on the amount of links aiming at your blog, particularly from blogs with high authority on Technorati. So if you are writing about content that you readers enjoy, you are going to get more links. Of course exposure is also an issue, if your blog is new, your readership is likely to be much smaller than more established blogs, so with less exposure, even well written interesting content is going to take time to work it’s charm on your rank.
Here are a few tips to get things moving:
Claim your blog
You need to create a Technorati account and claim your blogs. The process of claiming involves filling out a form about your blog. It is important that you put in some effort here, include as many relevant tags as you can think of, and write a good description.
Add a photo/avatar to your profile in Technorati
All the search results on Technorati have a small space for a photo or avatar of the blogger of that article. If you have added a photo to your profile the photo will be displayed in search results on the site. This will make your site stand out and may help get you a few more clicks.
Tag your posts
Make sure you are tagging your posts. In WordPress you can use Simpletags or Ultimate Tag Warrior.
Pinging
Make sure your blog in pinging Technorati. In WordPress you can check what sites your blog in pinging by checking: Options / Writing / Update services. If you have never changed this setting it will probably have Pingomatic listed, which is good. Pingomatic does the job for you, pinging all the important services. If there is nothing in this box you should add this address: http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ . With other blogging platforms you will need to find out how to ping Technorati and other important services automatically. I have experimented using other pinging services as you can add as many as you want. But from what I have found unless your blog is in another language simply using Pingomatic will give you the best results. If you are writing in another language you should also consider using Pinggoat, which pings additional sites.

I would also make sure to write a post about any other blog you have on any new ones you make. this way you get link back from own sites and it is picked up by technorati.

The best way to increase technorati rank is links from other blogs. If your mentioned in another blogs post it helps more than anything. Trackbaks might help but when someone lists your blog as the person who wrote article or has more info in thier post you get the most from that.

Do not know how these are going to improve the rank. The rank only improves when you gain backlinks from another technorati registered site, which should be the main concern.
I was looking for the “best” and the simplest article on increasing my technorati rank as its almost none!
Hopefully this page shooted up first on google.
Thanks for the information.

If you can get someone to link to your blog in a nother blog post it should help also. Just make sure the post is same topic as blog and lists your blogs main url.

I never thought about adding photo. Seems like it could help or use one that gets attention.

I think figureing out terms or tags make a big difference. Not sure wht photo does but rest of ideas are good ones.

The tags you use and pinging can make a difference in your rank. Make sure that the site is pinged for each new post so technorati list them or you will not get all the traffic you can from the site.

An interesting way to get traffic. I’m trying to learn about building a blog, but obviously you need some technical knowledge to succeed with this marketing technique.

Great guide both for newbies and advanced aspring SEO
Hay thanks for the post. I think regular posting and maintained your accounts can help your blog getting a high page rank .Tecnorati is under maintainence and I will suggest that to promote your blog , you need to search about blog promotions.

Thanks Simon,
I didn’t know that I needed to register with Technorati first. I thought this was all automatic with my blog. This is great advice to update the avatar and photo for better click-thru.

The claiming process can take a long time. 12 days in my most recent case. Claim your blog on Technorati early.

If you know other people with their own blogs you can ask them to write a post about your blog. This also helps your technocratic rank. Thank you for the idea.

I have found tagging & pinging help the most… And back links! Ultimately back links are what it all comes down to.
Claiming my blog took ages as well for some reason? Weeks for them to accept it, I guess this process must be manual?!
Very informative. Thanks for sharing those idea.. Looking forward for more post. Really helpful to those who are at work.
pinging should not be necessary anymore, right?
All your new posts are seen automatically by Technorati. At least, that is what I am seeing since they updated their protocol on that.
I don’t really understand why my posts aren’t getting indexed though. Technorati sees my posts, but is not adding it to the search function. I know they don’t add any blog to the search function, but I can’t find anything on how to get your already claimed blog indexed in their search results.
Any ideas here?
Your post is really helpful. I have just claimed my blog and have already seen a boost in traffic.
