Spread the word about your blog

All bloggers and webmasters need to make use of Technorati, which is a search engine and directory for blogs, holding details of 60 million blogs worldwide. All blog feeds are ranked according to the number of inbound links to each blog. Multiple links from one site will not help: Technorati looks for a range of sites that have decided to link to you as a gauge of your blog's popularity.

Sign up is fast and free, and you can immediately 'claim' your blog in their directory and add your favourite tags - up to 20 tags for each blog. These tags will be used to list your blog posts in Technorati's tag indexes. Look for a popular but not too-competitive tag: for example, home business is a very popular Technorati tag.

You can search the tag listings yourself to decide how to target your blog posts. Whenever you update your blog, your blog platform will ping Technorati instantly and there will be a listing of your post in their records. There are thousands of blog directories on the world wide web, Technorati is a must for any serious blogger.
