Today LIZ STRAUSS did a great post about Technorati and does anyone really take them seriously anymore? They don't seem to keep track like they used to. Are the understaffed? Are the overwhelmed by the number of blogs these days? Do their numbers really matter? Google "technorati problems" - a lot of people have issues with them!I take all that data with a grain of salt these days. We too have been frustrated with Technorati. We have one blog that has not been pinged in 100 days! When we write them, we get no answers back. And when we checked the forums, many people were having the same issues. Not being pinged. Links not being counted.
We have a couple new clients who are so caught up in the numbers. Their Technorati rank, their Alexa rank, their quantcast data….none of it can bee 100% accurate. It is my opinion, just write a good blog, link to others, get incoming links…..as long as I come up in Google searches on Page one, I am happy. If people are finding me organically and my phone rings with new business, I am happy. If my readership is steadily growing, I am happy. Decide what is you want from your blog or what you expect your blog to do. Don't get caught up in the numbers game. That’s my 2 cents!
