No I Did Not Link To You Again. Technorati Is Just Screwing With Your Mind.

October 6th, 2007 by Vlad | Filed under Other (Fom Old Blog).

Have you ever visited a fellow blogger straight from your WordPress dashboard? You know what I am talking about! I know I visit bloggers very often that way, in fact I visit every blog that pings me or links to me.

Lately I have noticed an increasing amount visitors to my blog who have come straight from their WordPress dashboards, probably just to get disappointed to find out that Technorati have yet again reported a link from 6 months ago.

If you looked on my blogs statistics today you would think that I am trying to spam Technorati:

In fact moments the entire page 1 of “blog reactions” looked like the image above not just 4 latest reactions. I know that once in awhile Technorati reports incoming link to blogs on my blogroll from my blog from posts that do not necessarily link to those blogs. Maybe it is good idea after all to get rid of my blogroll. It definitely contributes to “gaming” of Technorati, maybe that is why Technorati “flagged” me again.

Last time Technorati indexed my blog 21 days ago. Technorati has stopped indexing my blog once in the past, about one year ago. After I e-mailed the support they answer was that my blog was “flagged”, and the indexing resumed. At the time I cared about being indexing by Technorati, which I can’t say I am today, and now one of their biggest weapon against Google, the ability to report incoming links, is screwed.

Google has been doing an outstanding job indexing the content of my blog. On occasions Google indexed my posts in under 24 hours. Google Blog search has been sending my way a decent amount of traffic, I just wish Google would do a little better job reporting incoming links. You can setup Google alerts to report incoming links however if you have 400+ posts, it may become a problem. I wish some one had written a plugin that would set up a Google alert for every url for posts written in the past and that it would create these alerts as you publish new posts. (Please enlighten me is something like that exists already).

As for all of you who see incoming links from “My Affiliat Journey” in their WordPress dashboards, sorry, chances are Technorati is reporting either a blogroll link or it simply confused about older posts and lists them as entirely separate blogs with their own “technorati authority”.

Share and Enjoy:

Technorati is great in many respects, but the incoming links feature definitely needs work. Hopefully that will come with time.

I just removed your link. Sorry, I would like to learn your name first unless of course you would like me to call you "Make Money Online". The website I landed did not help me to learn anything about you. ;)

As to Technorati reporting I see the "blog" reactions are down to about 600 today. I understand that the latest version of WordPress uses Google Blog Search to report the incoming links. Is it the sign of Technorati's end?

I don't have as many blog reactions as you but I have also seen strange stats from technorati on the same day the numbers go up and down. I am using feedburner will have to see if there is a problem with it.

Ian,

Thanks for stopping by. I completely forgot that I have removed that code from the header. It's back now. When pinging Technorati I just simply used the home page of this blog.

When Technorati receives a bunch of pings for lots of URLs on a site and feed discovery is not functioning, indexing can run off of the tracks. If you don't see a feed icon in the URL box in your Firefox toolbar, chances are your feed discovery mechanisms are not in place correctly. Please let me know when that's remedied and send along the actual URL you're pinging with (or the list if you're pinging with more than one), I'll take a look.
thanks,
-Ian

Andy do you think that is the theme that is at fault? I have noticed this phenomena started to increase as I changed to this theme. I did not really pay any attention to it until Technorati stopped update and indexing my blog.

Vlad, tag pages also can be treated as different blogs.

Technorati know it is noise, and they also know it is their fault. It is not like you have registered each of your categories as separate blogs. yes I know a few blogs that have done that, in some ways it is legitimate.
