Top Commentators See Huge Technorati Boost

written by John Chow on March 17th, 2007

If you’re a top commentator on this blog, you may have experienced a huge boost in your Technorati ranking today. This boost came about because Technorati is ranking my posts as individual blogs.

Normally when another blog links to you, it shows up on Technorati as one blog link. However, because Technorati thinks over 500 of my blog posts are actually blogs, all the Top Commentators suddenly picked up hundreds of blog links overnight.

The boost to some of the Top Commentators has been massive. Here are their current ranking at the time of this post.

Technorati still has me frozen with 14,152 links from 2,405 blogs. However, news links to and from my blog are still being counted so I can still affect the rankings of blogs I link to. While Technorati has locked me at 14,152 links, the actual number is 59,228 links from who knows how many blogs. Hopefully, Technorati will unfreeze me soon so I can join the Top 100.

In the mean time, you can consider your huge Technorati increase as another perk for being a Top Commentator. I hope that this will help you make more money online.

I had to get that “make money online” in this post somehow! :twisted:

  1. Not only top commentator. People in your review batch also got huge technorati boost too!

  2. Jon

    Wow! I wonder if the technorati people will notice. What do you think will happen?

  3. Who the what now?

    John, could you explain why technorati thinks you’re 500 blogs instead of one? and why today, what was special about today? is it a weekly thing?

    And finally, will technorati even be recognizable after you’re done with it? or will the coroner just point to the puddle in the corner?

  4. I really don’t know what you did, but keep on doing it! Do you know how long this is going to last though? I really can’t believe I’m going to be ranked 2065 forever!

  5. seriously…i need to take notes from saman on how to be the top comment whore. :wink: i still think he’s a robot

  6. Someday I’ll be a top commentator….just got to keep on commenting….

  7. John,

    Did you check your ranking in ‘make money online’ on Google? The last time I checked, the previous post was in #14 so page 2 while your old post as mentioned in my blog last night was in 34 or 36. You’re moving very fast in climbing the google ladder John.

  8. I’ve noticed the links seem to come in waves from your site John, although I didn’t have as large an increase this time around. But not too long ago I was up around 100,000 and am now down to about 22,000 and have been dropping nicely.

  9. It’s everyone on your front page. I jumped too…

  10. Guys, i just checked on Google with keywords “make money online” and John Chow Dot Com was at #7. Congrats John, your evil works show the result :grin:

  11. John, you were wrong about Saman. He got boost because he defeated Godzilla. :twisted:

  12. max

    Hey thanks John, my blog went up to 1695 from 20,000 somethin’ after your recent review!

  13. I miss being one of the top commentators :( I took a 3-4week break and I can’t catch up anymore!

  14. Damn, that’s nice! I’ve got a long way to go before getting to the top though :razz: .

    • Jez

      If you reach the top you dont stay there long, Lyndon seems to have a good run.

      Janes back in the game now and stayed there briefly, but not for long…

      As long as you get enough posts so you dont get knocked off the benefits are much the same, bottom of the list is not much different from top, technorati boost will be the same…

  15. Funny. I just saw this on Technorati page:

    John Chow dot Com The Miscellaneous Ramblings of a Dot Com Mogul
    Search this blog Rank: 1,839,567 (2 links from 2 blogs)
    URL: http://www.johnchow.com/page/3
    Updated: 13 hours ago

    Please go and check it yourself.

  16. whoa.. should have commented more on this blog. lol.
    I am anticipating the 36th batch review, hehe. Watch out people. :p

  17. of course this happens within hours of me not being a top commenter, however i got a big boost from you anyhow

  18. This is what I found when I search for this page on Technorati:

    Sorry!
    No posts link to that URL yet. Please try again later.

    Now I know, why each page has different Technorati numbers.

    When I go for top page, http://www.johnchow.com, I got this number:

    59,244 links to this URL

    Now, let’s see what is the rank of this page with highest authority:

    Engadget
    Search this blog Rank: 4 (451,999 links from 27,086 blogs)
    URL: http://www.engadget.com
    Updated: 10 hours ago

    :twisted:

  19. You’re crazy John. :twisted: Did you know you’re number 4 in Technorati even though you think they still freezed you!

    Don’t know who is number 1. Could it be his good twin? :lol:

  20. wow, i dunno how the top commentators do it. i’d have to spend more time commenting on your blog than working on my own blog! heheh

  21. To make sure I got the ranking right, I went to check Technorati Most Linked as well as More Favorited blogs, and yes, they have not let John in those list yet. Now, I can go to bed without thinking about this number games while dreaming. :twisted:

  22. I have had steady improovement from technocrati in the last 3 weeks going from 150 000+ to just over 25 000. I am far from being a top commentator in here so I guess this is not the reason.

    BUT I am sure that some of your tips that I gradually try to successfully incorporate in my blog are the main reasons for my performances.

    Once again I will never thank you enough John. Keep it simple for us the little blogs and the newbies.

  23. Technorati has my site frozen as well. It claims I haven’t updated in over a year. :lol:

  24. I, too, have been frozen by Technorati since December. An acquaintance put me in touch with their CTO, who made a bunch of suggestions which made no difference at all to my Technorati ranking (though they may have helped other things).

    I thought Technorati was simply having trouble coping with my weird hybrid site/blog, but if it’s happening to you guys as well, perhaps I shouldn’t blame myself.

    How common is this freeze problem? How reliable can Technorati rankings possibly be if some (many?) blogs are not perceived as updated for months? It’s disturbing that, as with Alexa, this very flawed ranking is to put market value on blogs and the relatively influence of their writers.

  25. That’s great news..guess i better start commenting more here :P

  26. this is just amazing. Commenting on someone’s blog could boost tracfics and so.

  27. thats a great news… will make me post some comments too..

  28. I just got two more linkbacks from the ReviewMyBlog that I did 2 weeks ago. Go Technorati! Since reading JohnChow.com I have gone from like 700,000 to just above 91,000 in about 1 month. THanks

  29. This amazing, but I have little question, why this post, detected as individual BLOG?

  30. Good John, should start making a point commenting each of your post from now on..samanathon is a real winner..

  31. Top 100? You will be number 1! Engadget only has about 25K links.

  32. Maybe I should do a review of Johns blog anyway :)

  33. good!

    is a trick or is a Technorati bug?

  34. I guess I should comment more often! :twisted:

  35. That’s it, I’m hiring one of my Korea kids to post comments all day on this blog. The top commenter spot will beeee minnneee!!!

  36. Ed

    If you ever had that dream where you walk along the street and find money under leaves in the gutter, and then wake up penniless, you will get an idea of how I feel about Technorati rankings.

    If Technorati can step up to the plate and make some sense of the nonsense, then the rank manipulation going on has not been in vain. If not, as someone commented earlier, Technorati ranking is yet another decent idea turned into a puddle in the corner..

  37. John your evilness never ceases to amaze me :wink:

  38. Could you tell us how you got technorati to count each post as a seperate blog?

  39. I got 300 more backlinks when I briefly hit the Tom Commentators list :) .

  40. I see lyndonmaxewell just took the lead away from Saman (he must be away or something).

  41. Now people – don’t abuse the comments list just to get ahead in Technorati.

  42. John will probably ban me now – but just making a point.

  43. I guess I need to start posting more.

  44. this is interesting how this has happened. But this hasen’t just happened to john’s blog, it’s happend to many

  45. i’m going to do some research on this and find out whats behind this

  46. does this have an effect on people who are necessarily on the top commentators list?

  47. Just my luck…this post comes a day after I fall off the top ten :evil:

  48. I already go my massive boost the last time you did this. So I got a boost this time around, but not quite as big I think.

  49. Xof

    That’s quite insane! How come Technocrati can actually think that blog posts are actually blogs??!!

  50. This is pretty impressive. I’m going to have to comment here more often. :razz:

  51. I’ve been reading this blog for sometime now but mostly as a lurker. This is my first comment and you can expect more comments in the coming days XD

  52. I’m starting to notice a trend with these top commentators blogs.

    They now all have a technorati blog rank on their sidebar

  53. Whenever your site has something like this happen to you, it’s got to be soo good. Because all of a sudan there’s tons of comments on your blog.

    • Jez

      Most of my comments came from sites I visited or commented on myself, I dont think ive had a single comment out of the blue yet…

      The myBlog widget is good, you can track back your visitors, comment on their site, or vice versa if they see you visit them.

  54. Just remember, skewing with these technorati rankings is like lying about your score in golf–you’re just cheating yourself in the long run.

  55. Darn I was on teh top commentators list last month but I missed out on this one.. :(

  56. Just notice that my Technorati Ranking has jumped up to 36,166. This must be a combination of the back link from batch #35, top commentators and my going out to visit more blogs from this community. I know, at the end, the content is the most important thing. You will have a repeated visitors if your content is good.

  57. Wow thats awesome! Perhaps I should actually post some comments here hey!

  58. Jez

    Weeellll, thats me back to No. 1 for an hour or two!!!

  59. Aly

    That’s nutty! This stuff is really informative.

  60. Posting for rank increase. No other purpose.
