I just signed up at Technorati to claim my blog as they call it. This is another one of those sites I was well aware of, but never quite sure how it could help get traffic to my site. I’m assuming all those keywords I put in when signing up have something to do with being found on their network. I’ve also read that WordPress will ping Technorati whenever I publish a new post, so the site always knows when I have new content available. I also found page and page about how to use Technorati tags and and lots of conflicting information about it helping the blog versus helping Technorati. I’m not going to spend much time on this until I figure out if getting deeply involved is truly a benefit. Until then, I’ve claimed my blog and I’ll just wait for the massive wave or traffic to come my way. *insert sound of crickets chirping*
