Connected Internet: How To Get More Traffic From Technorati – Tips Straight From The Horse’s Mouth

  • Martin · 3 years ago
    The biggest problem I see with this approach is that you will loose lots of visitors who click on the technorati tags leaving your site this way.

    I don't think technorati won't pick up the keywords if you have them at the end of the article and ping them every time you write a new one.

    You don't need to actually link to Technorati for the tags to be picked up. All Technorati are looking for is rel="tag" within your pages to find the tags. So, you can either keep the tags hidden or use another tagging service like Ultimate Tag Warrior (which I use as it does so much other stuff) that adds rel="tag" to its tags, and keeps any clicks within your blog.

    It's definitely worth doing as when I followed Technorati's advice on my old Blogware blog, literally overnight I started to get a lot of traffic. Tags also help users find similar posts on your blog.

    I must have been too tired when I made this post last night, as making the change is a doddle with WordPress as it's easy to have different layouts for the homepage that generates the RSS feed, and the actual full posts. What I'll do when I get online tonight is make my tags part of the homepage excerpt so that they get included in the feed, but leave them in their normal place at the bottom of the full post.

    How would you add the tags to your feed ?

    Found the settings, will try that out. My previous tags plugin did not seem to work that well. Hope the new one will do me a better service.

    Why don't you use UTW? It's the most flexible and you can do so much more with it.

    I use the Bunny script. It's the best IMHO.

    I also modified it a bit, so I added a nofollow bit to the links.

    I'm really not sure of the best way to use tags. Can you recommend a good tutorial?
