All About Technorati

Technorati is an interesting service to blogger and blog visitors. It enables users to track the popularity, viewer-ship and links to their blogs. One of Technorati's features is its ability to search blogs registered with it. This is very helpful providing relevant and accurate results. However it is not just a search engine it is as said before a tool for blog users and writers. Users and aggregate blogs they like and topics they want to read about. It also allows bloggers to give brief information about their blogs and a profile of themselves. It is different from Google in that it is specifically for blogs and provides additional feedback.

Blog writers are able to monitor their blogs in terms of 'authority' which measures the links to the writers blog from other blogs. The higher the authority the higher the rank. So the blog with the highest authority has the highest rank also. At the time of writing my authority is 5, not too good but its early days!
