John Chow dot Com Ranked #1 on Technorati
written by John Chow on August 4th, 2007
I have done it! I am ranked number 1 on Technorati! Yes, it took a while, but John Chow dot Com has finally hit the number 1 spot. It’s too bad Technorati still refuses to put me in their official Top 100 list.
Reality Check Time
OK, I’m not really ranked one 1 on Technorati (I’m really ranked 47). However, it appears Technorait has a glitch in their ranking system and every blog in their system has a number 1 ranking. Now would be a good time to take a screen shot to show all your readers you’re amazing number one ranking! 
*Update - Looks like Technorati fixed the glitch. I am back at number 47. Hope you all got your screen shots.

Reply to this commentI am ranked #1 as well just like you mentioned
Reply to this commentYay. For once in my life I feel like someone. My blog is visited by no-one anyway
Reply to this commentYour blog supposed to be the number one…gud luck…
Reply to this commentWell I certainly wasnt surprised when I read the title, more surprised that I found out he was joking
Reply to this commentI just snagged my Technorati screen shot. Just for posterity and all that.
Reply to this commentHope it will help
Reply to this commentI wouldn’t be surprised if your blog DID become number one John, shoot for the stars!
Reply to this commentlinkbait, and its gonna work
Reply to this commentCongratulations! Everyone should be No. 1 at least once.
Reply to this commentI always wondered how long it would take for me to get that spot!
Reply to this commenthaha Josh, just keep up the hard work on the blog and you never know, it might stay like that
Reply to this commentShame Technorati.
Reply to this commentI agree, they dont really seem solid these days
Reply to this commentWhy is johncow.com redirecting to you now?
Were you the one that sent Cow the cease and desist letter, what’s going on here?
Reply to this commentSee his other post: Miscellaneous Ramblings: Weekend Edition for the explanation to this.
Reply to this commentGotcha, thanks.
Reply to this commentThat still doesn’t answer why johncow.com is now redirecting here.
Reply to this commentGreat! but too bad Technorati doesn’t put you in Top 100 list.
Reply to this commentWoo Hoo, I’m #1!
Reply to this commentCongratulations John, well done.
I am now ranked no1 on Technorati also and it only took me 2 months
Reply to this commentWell im pretty happy at doing it in 4 days, was hoping to be a bit quicker though
Reply to this commentDang you, John Chow!
I thought I was the first to think of this. Took my screenshot, then I started browsing blogs and came to yours…
Reply to this commentGood eye, I definitely took a screen of that.
Reply to this commentI saw this an hour or so ago, and I got my screen shot. Engadget must not be happy!
Reply to this commentWell I doubt it will last for long so good to take advantage while it lasts
Reply to this commentNo longer john. Now my blog ranks no 1 in Technorati!
Reply to this commentHmmm It seems like everyone is number one.. That’s not good, since there is no competition.
Reply to this commentMaybe Technorati has decided to help build up everyone’s self-esteem by making everyone number 1! No more hurt feelings from those of us previously ranked at numbers comparable to the U.S. national debt. Of course, no more motivation to do better, since we’re all equals now, right?
Reply to this commentThanks for the heads up John! I got my screenshot!
Reply to this commentI totally believed you were #1! I was thinking… “How much does technorati suck to leave the #1 blog out of it’s official rankings??” hahaha . either way.. I’m sure you’ll make #1 soon enough!
Reply to this commenti missed it, i would have love to get a screen shot of my blog like that
Reply to this commentYou still have a chance. Mine is still showing as number 1, so I’m sure it’s probably still doing the same for everyone else (unless a miracle occurred and I really am #1).
Reply to this commentWell, it’s fixed now, so you’re out of luck if you missed the second window. Unless something else goes wrong at Technorati…
Reply to this commentOops I missed the screenie too.
Reply to this commentBug is open again. Just took the screenshot. So hurry up.
Reply to this commentIs it just me or is technorati not reporting links for blogs?
None showing in wordpress and none directly on the site…not even for this blog
Reply to this commentThat’s probably something to do with the same glitch that’s making everyone #1.
My Authority ranking actually increased during this time, so, even though it’s not showing links, Technorati must still be recording them.
At least I hope so! I mean, I hope I keep my higher authority when Technorati recovers.
Reply to this commentJohn, I feel that you should rank #1 already…
Reply to this commentIndeed, it is a ugly glitch. I rank #1 too
with my really really new blog, but it shows 0 reactions uh huh.
Reply to this commentCongrats John!!! But I bet one day you will officially be number 1 with no glitch soon.
Also John do you know why your parody site John Cow dot Com redirects here? Where you the one behind it or a friend or something and was just an experiment?
Reply to this commentI dunno what happened to technorati, but they made me laugh becoz of that huhu
Reply to this commentI saved my screen shot just so I can say I ranked #1. I am sure they will catch it by tomorrow at the least.
Reply to this commentwow, that’s some glitch
Reply to this commentWell I can confirm the links are bad aswell
Reply to this commentJohn, when were you in the UFC? And for how long?
Reply to this commentI was never in the UFC. The part of the about me is a joke.
Reply to this commentaww that sux but alright though…when are the car/food posts comming?
Reply to this commentcool
I am happy for you xP
Reply to this commentJOHN CHOW IS THE MAN.
WHO ARE THESE OTHER 46 BLOGGERS THAT THINK THEY’RE BETTER??
PS. I heard John Cow was # 45 on Technorati. Coincidence?
Reply to this commentI wonder who else is not in Technorati’s Top 100 that should be? JC is ranked 47, but doesn’t appear there. Whoever is ranked 48 is also missing from the list. The blog at 49 is ranked 46 (there are three blogs tied at 16, which affects the numbering) and the blog at 50 is ranked 49. Curiouser and curiouser.
Reply to this commentDang! I must have caught it to late. I wasn’t number one when I checked. I was back up to 370,000 or something.
Reply to this commentI’m number 1 as well!
Reply to this commentDarn Technorati has been broken for years now - they just can’t seem to get the infrastructure in place to be anything other than a novelty.
Reply to this commentYup, I woke up this morning and I saw an email from a friend telling me that I’m number 1 in Technorati, I really thought it was Fouls Day, but I got up, opened my laptop, browse to Technorati, and here I was, #1. After 30 sec of thinking, I knew it wasn’t possible, I mean, in the end my site only gets about 5k hits a day so I can’t be that high. So yeah, it was nice to see a 1 in there rather than a 300,000 whatever number
Reply to this commentWell done, I think you will be soon the real #1
Reply to this comment
RIght now mines at http://lilyruthsthisandthat.blogspot.com says authority 32 and the other one http://dogcents.blogspot.com says authority 6 is those good numbers? Im sorry I missed seeing that # 1 if I did get it I would hae wanted to take a screenshot to post on my blogs.(smile) just to show off.. Well congratulations anyway soon you will be # 1 Cause I see your name everywhere on different blogs and communities. You are well known you see. This is my first time here and Im glad I came. bye now
Reply to this commentyou know what, this morning I checked my Technorati’s ranking and I was ranked #1 too. But now, Technorati has fixed it and my ranking dropped to the normal level.
btw, hope you’ll be put on top 100 list very soon!!!
Reply to this commentWith a quick photo edit we can all be #1 in the top 100 list, Alexa or whatever. If a person can’t verify the information themself, a screen shot isn’t worth anything.

I was going to say congrats on reaching number 1 until I began reading the second paragraph!

Reply to this commentHave you ever asked for explanations about why you are not ranked on the top 100??
Reply to this commentIt seems that you posted this 1 hour after I blogged it on my blog. Any chance you saw it there first and didn’t credit me?
Reply to this commentCongrats, even if you were only #1 because of the glitch…
Reply to this commentI missed my number 1 moment. Gonna have to do it the hard way, or wait for the next glitch…
Reply to this commentdamn..i missed to be number 1
Reply to this commentIf someone deserves it, it’s you..
Reply to this commenthow long do you thinkl you will keep in the top 1?
