Well, it looks like Technoranti has recovered from my evil blog ping attack. They have managed to removed all the posts that have been showing up a individuals blogs and re-ranked everybody that saw a huge boost because of it, including myself. I am out of the Top 100. 
It was very nice to see myself in the Top 100 list, if only for a few days. I need to move up another 52 more spots to get back into the Top 100. Here’s the current rankings of the Top Commentators. Looks like most got their rank pulled back. The reminding blogs can expected to be reset anytime now.
- Jez (2,493)
- Mark Shead (22,433)
- Culture Shiok! (26,036)
- Marc (3,829)
- Michael Kwan (36,748)
- Zach (48,027)
- lyndonmaxewell (26,377)
- Jane May (34,679)
- HMTKSteve (2,022)
- Aris (36,358)
It was fun while it lasted, wasn’t it? I hope that Technorati learns a lesson from this and will make their service better. More coverage of this story can be found at Mark Robinson.

Well John, I’ve got a feeling that you’ll find a way to be back in the top 100 within the next few months!
So that’s why I’m still at 26k.
I experimented on it, based on Mark Robinson’s “under 5000 in an hour”
Took me 2 nights to get into the Top 10 commentators.
Got my consolation prize… another link to Johnchow.com
Congratulations to Technorati!
Enjoy it while it lasts, I’m coming back!
Thems fightin’ words!
You guys have been lucky that work has kept me busy!
Did your traffic had a big boom because of that, saman?
I’ll be moving then…
…to Samanathon.com
let’s go
I think we all feel the same way!
lol.. it was about time technorati discovered this err of theirs. or, people will be losing confidence in their accuracy!
Ain’t that the truth…
I dropped to over 200,000 from 82,000 an lost about 25 blogs that were counted previously
I’m sitting about 32K now.
I’m slowly moving up…
I thought I’ll be growing roots at 26k.
Just broke into 25K.
Consider it a sidestep, not a step backwards.
Maybe not for John but I when from 1,900 to 29,000!
What’s an extra 50 or so spots? Just focus on the goal and you’ll be back.
50 spots?! try 18,000….
Really?! That’s a lot of JC links that got cleared.
It’s wasn’t just John’s, most were, but not all!
I see your reviewme prices have dropped now. Maybe I can afford it now?
Well, since I’m not Top 100 anymore, I figure I would lower it. However, I didn’t want to lower it back to the $250 price.
I have no doubt that the you’ll be back in the Top 100 by the end of next month - you come uop with some evil plans!
That would be only fair I guess… You still have until the end of 2007 to achieve your goal!!
I am pretty far from Top 100… I Rank: 122,811
I wonder… did you get any reviews at the $500 price tag? They would have been screaming by now if so..
He did get at least 2…that’s what he said in the post announcing the price has gone up. I wonder if those people got any compensation.
John is too evil to issue refunds.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case derrich
Why should he? They bought them didn’t they?!
That;s fair. So long as you’re still getting requests, there’ no reason not to crank up the price
Thats a really good point, I was so into the post, that I didn’t think to look there.
John, thanks for the permanent link in this posting. I thought I’d be out like two days ago when I decided not to flooded your site with comments simply to keep my site in top commentators list. Apparently there is this slow traffic during the weekend, so may be I’d stay another hour or two.
I really don’t understand Technorati ranking. Even at the time when they listed you in #76 Favorite, when I clicked on the link it showed 102 etc. But you have the (evil) power to bring it up again.
BTW, as of this writing you’re still in #3 spot on ‘make money online’ in Google below bidvertiser and squidoo.
Not too many people can understand technorati, you’re not alone.
I don’t think your supposed to understand it! If you did, there would be a hundred other products like it out there!
Too bad your out of the top 100 now !! im sure you will get in soon
With the amount of articles you post, the audience that reads you and your evil technics
it shouldnt take more then few weeks..
Not that I don’t have faith in John, but he’s in insanely competitive territory now. It might take longer than all the well-wishers think.
That’s too bad, but fair I guess.
No doubt you’ll get back into the top 100 on your own merits again though!
Don’t kid yourself - John will come up with another evil scheme!
yes. I think the next evil scheme will come including Mitch’s product as a prize. Mitch did offer him 5 for a contest! I’m still waiting for that contest John!
That would be cool, I though I don’t really need a Newletter app…
Maybe if I got one, I’d find uses for it!
Yeah, I could use a couple!
John … evil? … never!
I’m sure you’ll think of some crazy PR type thing to do to make up for the 52 places you need to go
I’d love to see that, the Google guys are pretty smart…
He doesn’t has to wait long. There are still tons of batch reviews coming in..
I was WONDERING why the heck my rank went UP today and not down!
I thought they might have caught onto your evil ways. What a bummer!
I know it! But I guess John is above the radar any way, so it was just a matter of time
Hey lady! Always great to see the other female John Chow chick hanging around.
I was all psyched that I cracked the top 10,000 a couple of weeks ago. I went up about 1000 points earlier today - then packed on another 1000 tonight to go BACK up above 10K!
Sucks.
Keep building links to your blog and you’ll get back up there
I’ve just noticed, they also Downgraded your ReviewMe price… at list you’ve got to earn some money when it was 500.. i wounder what will be This Month revenue with all those crazy things happened to you.
Damn, that’s sucky. I’m sure you’ll be able to make it back to the top 100 again though.
you still got a good boost from the traffic
Well, looks like it was fun while it lasted.
Now it’s time to properly work our way up there.
Yeah, it felt like we had some time to concentrate on other things since we didn’t have to worry about technorati
But now it’s back to the trenches
I ignored it altogether knowing it was only temporary. I’m not surprised to see that rank vanish for my blog.
