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! :twisted:

*Update – Looks like Technorati fixed the glitch. I am back at number 47. Hope you all got your screen shots.

Missed my opportunity to grab a screenshot - bugger!

Now your rank is 50 . big drop .

I love it when stuff like this happens. If nothing else it gives you a great screen shot to show your grandchildren someday!

If someone deserves it, it's you..

damn..i missed to be number 1

I missed my number 1 moment. Gonna have to do it the hard way, or wait for the next glitch... :smile:

Congrats, even if you were only #1 because of the glitch... :)

It 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?

Have you ever asked for explanations about why you are not ranked on the top 100??

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

well done John.
I'm still in the top 5,000,000 :-)

Congrats man, I'm still trying break the top 100000.

With 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.

you 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!!! :smile:

:roll: 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

Well done, I think you will be soon the real #1

Yup, 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 :mrgreen:

Darn 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.

I'm number 1 as well!

Dang! I must have caught it to late. I wasn't number one when I checked. I was back up to 370,000 or something. :mrgreen:

I 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.

JOHN 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?

cool :) I am happy for you xP

John, when were you in the UFC? And for how long?

I was never in the UFC. The part of the about me is a joke.

aww that sux but alright though...when are the car/food posts comming?

Well I can confirm the links are bad aswell

wow, that's some glitch

I saved my screen shot just so I can say I ranked #1. I am sure they will catch it by tomorrow at the least.

I dunno what happened to technorati, but they made me laugh becoz of that huhu

Congrats 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?

Indeed, it is a ugly glitch. I rank #1 too :shock: with my really really new blog, but it shows 0 reactions uh huh.

John, I feel that you should rank #1 already... :grin:

Is 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

That'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.

Oops I missed the screenie too. :cry:

Bug is open again. Just took the screenshot. So hurry up.

i missed it, i would have love to get a screen shot of my blog like that

You 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).

Well, it's fixed now, so you're out of luck if you missed the second window. Unless something else goes wrong at Technorati...

I 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!

Thanks for the heads up John! I got my screenshot!

Hmmm It seems like everyone is number one.. That's not good, since there is no competition. :shock:

Maybe 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? :lol:

No longer john. Now my blog ranks no 1 in Technorati! :twisted: :cool: :twisted:

I saw this an hour or so ago, and I got my screen shot. Engadget must not be happy! :D

Well I doubt it will last for long so good to take advantage while it lasts
