I think you blog too little as it is.

I think that is both good and bad. The issue is whether or not the comments are good comments or just a blurb to get on the list.

Here I thought I had some major scoop and it was all John Chow! I’m glad I got on his top commentator spot before he pulled this trick.

Evil John did it. No wonder. I just checked, and my technorati rank is now higher than my “other blog” I mentioned above: it’s now ranked ~22k, while the other is still at ~62k.

Every page that gets referenced via Technorati has my top commentator links attached to it.

I noticed that I have a link from you that references your archives. Seems like the new archives plugin creates new links for Technorati as well. I am not sure how Technorati calculates it all. I figure that it does take the number of links from a single blog into account as Ryan suggested and as your linked blogs ranking increases, your rank increases along with it.

I have 33 links from 12 blogs at the current time and I’ve seen my ranking increase and decrease with nothing really changing with respect to links. Having your rank increase must’ve yanked mine along with it because I was in the 404K range last week and now I’m in the 342K range. Kinda funny but I started out around 1.6 million!

Having you speedlink to one of my posts sure helped!

I have a pretty abysmal Techno rating, so maybe I should start giving that Top Commentator a go. I’ve been reading some reviews of it and it seems like a good idea. Gotta set a good refresh/expiration rate on it though.
