As I belong to several social networking communities, I’ve seen quite a bit of interest in how bloggers can increase their Technorati Authority.
I spend quite a bit of time on Twitter and a tremendous amount of traffic to my blogs is generated through links to posts that I tweet. My friend Cheryl, from The Daily Blonde recently told me that she receives 80% of traffic to her blog via Twitter.
That’s quite a bit of traffic, but then again, almost 11k Tweeple follow @thedailyblonde, and I’m nowhere near those kind of numbers!
If you Tweet, another way to increase your Technorati authority and get extra traffic and exposure for your blogs is to claim your Twitter Profile to Technorati and add it to the Technorati Directory. You will then be able to add relevant Technorati tags to your profile. I recently did this and it was so easy!
After I followed the easy instructions, I then added a Technorati link to my Twitter Profile page so that any visitors who might want to follow me can click on it and fave me. (While you’re there ~ I’d appreciate it if you faved me! You can fave my blog here too ~ look for the banner!)

Wooh,
Such a simple but effective idea. I have pretty much everything else ‘claimed’ on Technorati, but adding my Twitter Profile page didnt even occur to me.
It’s a great way to see where people are linking to your profile and Twitter ID.
Love it, thanks for sharing.

Technorati authority is bar none the most useless stat a blogger can worry about. Last year when I was into a bunch of stat boosting, I got my Technorati authority over 5000, but it only lasts 180 days. Again technorati authority only determines the amount of incoming links from the last 180 days, then the links are no longer counted. It can easily be pumped up with memes and link chains thus rendering it completely useless. It’s just a number that means nothing:)
