I’ve been blogging for awhile now and have almost completely ignored Technorati. Yesterday one of my colleagues mentioned that she marked this blog as a favorite in Technorati and was shocked that my authority was so low (9!.) I guess I shouldn’t ignore Technorati, so, I want to do a little experiment.

This morning while visiting I noticed that there was a top X most popular searches list published in the home page. So, the first experiment is to write an entry that has a blurb on each item mentioned in the top searches to see what traffic might result from that. The second is to reinstate specific Technorati tags to see if that makes any difference over time.

I’ll report back on how these experiments go. Look for the top search blog entry later today sometime.
