Free Traffic to Your Blog - Submitting Your Blog to Technorati

By Zachary Stevens

One of the major advantages to owning a blog is that blogs have a tendency to naturally draw copious amounts of traffic. But if you are interested in making serious income with your blog then you need equally serious traffic flow. While you can do next to nothing with your blog except make an informative post every few days and still get plenty of traffic, you are going to have to do a little extra "finger" work if your goal is to get a few hundred or even a few thousand hits a day.

Technorati and technorati tags

Technorati is kind of like the Google for blogs in that it is kind of like an all encompassing search engine of blog content. Technorati currently follows more than 120 million blogs worldwide. Listing your blog with technorati is extremely easy and is a must for any serious blogger. Technorati will not only provide you with traffic but will also provide your blog with highly marketable authority. Authority allows you to more or less rent your blog on a periodic basis and the higher your technorati rank the more you can charge.

This is how to add your blog to technorati:

1.Go to technorati.com and click on sign up

2.Once you have created your account, log in to your email account you used to register and confirm your account.

3.Log back into technorati and click on "Blogger Central" and then "claim your blog."

4.Now click on "Claim a new blog" and enter your blogs URL.

5.Once your blog is claimed, your blog will officially be listed in technorati's enormous index.

But simply having your blog indexed at technorati is not a sure fire means of grabbing rank and traffic. To get noticed at technorati you need lots of indexed pages. This means you need to make daily blog posts with technorati tags added to each of your posts. Your tags are the keywords that you want to rank for when someone does a search at technorati.

Unless you have a technorati tag plugin installed in your wordpress blog, you will need to use the free technorati tag generator. With this, all you need to do is enter your keywords and the generator will provide you with the html code that you need to insert into each of your blog posts. The more technorati tagged posts you have indexed in technorati, the more traffic you will be able to get from technorati. More traffic means higher rank and ultimately more money.
