But anyway the point: Just yesterday I was commenting on one blog post (which I can't find) where the guy discusses how technorati penalizes anyone who tries to "influence" ranking artificially. It strack a chord with me since I have just released a WordPress theme and in his article he goes into explaining that sponsored links in scripts and themes are also dangerous and can lead to penalty. Quite frankly I din;t find it to be true since wordpress.org has a clear rank 1 and it is mainly due to all the backlins from people using blog platfrom. But perhaps there is a merit behind his information? Don’t you wish you save the links to all psost you read sometime ? But anyway the point:

Other links in the Technorati 100 come naturally without any apparent incentives. I think Technorati is catching wind of what might be "deceptive practices" to alter the rankings. Truthfully, I can't blame them. The eleventy billion "Make money online" and "evil contests" make me shudder. I think you'd build more link trust organically if you actually just focused on those how-to posts that make you truly unique.
