I have continued to be frustrated with Technorati and actually am cultivating a theory that the more you complain on their forums, the more sharply your numbers decline. :)<br/><br/>My numbers have severely tanked which is a huge source of annoyance to me because I feel like I've worked really hard to build community in my blog. <br/><br/>Oh well, probably just time to let it go!

My numbers have severely tanked which is a huge source of annoyance to me because I feel like I’ve worked really hard to build community in my blog.

Oh well, probably just time to let it go!

However, I do agree with using the ping page as a great way to get attention from your servers.<br/><br/>Thanks for stopping by and commenting! :) Ian - I usually ping manually, but generally I use ping-o-matic for my pings, and it seems to do quite well for me.

We actually recommended that folks claim their blog on Technorati and ping us at the <a HREF="http://technorati.com/ping" REL="nofollow">Technorati ping page</a>. This will raise the priority of processing your update notification (unfortunately, we have to dedicate a lot of resources to filtering out spam pings and prioritization is one aspect of that). Pinging through 3rd party services has proven to be unreliable, so we recommend that folks stick to pinging us directly first.<br/><br/>And yes, sooner or later, these "link train" deals are counter productive. We recommend that folks build their audience organically (basic stuff: read and comment on other blogs, link to other blogs posts conversationally, post often with original content on your blog, tag posts with contextually relevant tags, etc).<br/><br/>Thanks again for the great post!<br/><br/>regards,<br/>-Ian<br/>Technorati Thanks for discussion about Technorati’s authority calculations!
