Thanks to Twan over at New Media Wanderings for this interesting post on how to boost your Technorati rankings. Basically it is a way to promote lesser known blogs and in the process gain potential new readers to your site. It can also work the other way and enable you to discover blogs you may never otherwise have come across.
You simply create a new post on your blog, and cut and paste the Z-List of bloggers (see below) into the post, and then you add to the end of the list one or more blog sites you feel deserve some exposure.
Some people may not agree with this, but if it provides a way for lesser known blogs to gain new readers and boost their rankings, then why not. It is after all just another marketing strategy, albeit slightly underhand I admit, to promote your web site.

Thanks for continuing to spread this list … the Technorati ranking improvement is neither here nor there really — that alone won’t build your readership. It might gain you a little more exposure, but readers won’t come back if you can’t interest them in your content.
But for many of us who are interested in reaching a wider audience, the Z-list is a great step-up.

I think the Technorati ranking is important because it’s an indicator of how many bloggers are referencing your blog – a sign of interest. I do take it seriously. It’s not that I’m a ‘rank’ monster. I don’t try to bait people to my site or anything. But I use the ranking as an indication of my success as a blogger.
Mentioning my blog is appreciated! Thanks so much! I hope you stop by and appreciate my content.
Regards,
Doug

Hi,
I too recently came across the so called “Z-list”. It indeed had some useful blogs.

Thanks for keeping the link love going into the New Year and including CustomersRock! It has given my blog great exposure that I couldn’t have gotten otherwise.

Having Women, Art, Life on the Z List for me opened a whole new world of bloggers I might not have paid any attention to…Flooring the Consumer above is about retail but what she writes is almost always pertinant to art…there are a lot of cross overs I would never have thought about if I hadn’t found myself listed (and I still don’t know how I got there). It’s been fun and broadening. Thanks for keeping the list going.
