Get into Technorati Top 100 in 24 Hours
Technorati Ranks are given to a blog based on how many blogs linked to you in the last 6 months. This number which was recently termed as ‘Authority’ determines your rank. One link is counted from a Single blog irrespective of how many times it linked to you.
To get a rank of 100 on Technorati you need to have about 4820 blogs linking to you. Blogs already on Top 100 have taken years to reach this position, then how could you do it in 24 hours! Well that’s I am coming to…
The page that showed how many blogs linked to my blog caught my eyes… I had three of links from a Single Independent Blog showing Different Authorities besides them. Obviously they were indentified by Technorati as three different blogs even if they were actually part of the same blog. A probe into the matter revealed that links to each other within these types of sub-blogs (to give it a name) were also counted as Authority to the other. Where did Technorati went wrong? Let’s get on to it…
Example shown assumes that you are using WordPress as the blog application, have Apache installed with mod-rewrite activated. Though the Appication/Provider is not a concern, Mod-rewrite is a must here.
Say you have a blog www.exampleblog.com URLs to your posts would look like
http://www.exampleblog.com/ ( The main page )
http://www.exampleblog.com/2007/05/05/a-typical-post/ ( for a typical post )
http://www.exampleblog.com/2007/05/05/ ( All posts posted in a single day )
http://www.exampleblog.com/2007/05/ ( Post Archives for a Month )
http://www.exampleblog.com/tag/a-category/ ( All posts for a single category )
http://www.exampleblog.com/a-typical-page/ ( A typical page )
Technorati is intelligent enough to find that all the above links correspond to a single blog… except for… for the last case… a typical PAGE. If there was a link in a page to your blog/post, it will count as a separate authority for your blog, if…, Technorati knows that this page existed…
Confused! Well… we are getting to it…
When you publish a new post the Technorati server is pinged by calling the page http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping , following which, Technorati extracts the URL from the Header(Referrer) and gets the page content extracting links on the page and storing them in database. This however does not happen when you publish a PAGE. Workaround is that you manually ping Technorati by giving the URL of the new page that we just created on form available at http://technorati.com/ping and doing so, you added +1 to the Authority of your blog.
So Add a page “Begin With Me” to your blog with a link to one of your posts, it will publish to URL http://www.exampleblog.com/begin-with-me/. Open the Technorati Ping page http://technorati.com/ping , post the page url and submit. Within a few minutes your page would be fetched by Technorati and will be visible on the page http://technorati.com/search/www.exampleblog.com. The Rank would however may take upto 24 hours to update as they are not calculated on-the-fly but at regular interval perhaps once or twice a day.
The pages that you ping need not compulsorily appear somewhere on blog pages, and they may be hidden from a visitor/spider (not linked from anywhere. You can achieve this by removing the Page widget from the Sidebar. Or alternatively you can create such pages as a child to a hidden page (a page that after getting published was edited and saved as Draft page). The page you add may be created just blank without any links and the links on the sidebar can compensate for them.
Will that make me to Top 100?
Oh that depends on how fast you are in creating pages and pinging the URLs to Technorati, and how fast is Technorati in removing this bug. They may restrict manual pinging per IP address or temporarily withdraw the ping form before going for fixes, and above all ban your site from Technorati.
You have been shown the way, see if you can make it to the destination.

I did some digging and I don’t think I’m missing those 230-some links. This FAQ indicates that as long as the main domain is the same, it should be indexing those pages properly.

@Lou Paglia – “the “authority” is more for myself to know how many links are coming into me”
Well, if it was meant to be for private use it could have existed in a password protected area where only blog owner could see it. The fact that it is publicly available means that it is there for all to see and to create a sense of competition within bloggers.

I don’t see the point of “gaming” the system. From my sense, the “authority” is more for myself to know how many links are coming into me. Gaming it so that I get self-counted hits is meaningless so what do get out of doing it. Aside from the academic exercise of pointing out the Technorati short-coming which is interesting from a technical perspective. Just my thoughts…
