Every Company Needs a Good Map

Is Technorati authority sort of like currency in Second Life? Anyway, I hope you reach your June goal.

Thanks for stopping by the Creative Think blog.

I would tend to agree with you and the others who discount the value except that most turn around and use it. They are listed on the Vial Garden because of it. They get to put little icons on their blogs when they hit milestones and so on.

SecondLife may seem like a joke to many but it would appear that a few people are actually making money - or should I say, allegedly making money there.

I think I'll try the write well with some help from friends to Digg, Fark, etc... so that people can find what I write. As it stands it's feeling quiet lonely so far.

You've got a good head start on the Technorati front by being part of KMM. ;)

As for feeling lonely, keep leaving great comments on other blogs and making friends just like you did at Eye on DNA. I'm glad to have "met" you!

Interesting article, but I think the Technorati Authority number is time limited. If I remember correctly it is 6 or 9 months, so every link you get will disappear after 6 or 9 months, meaning your numbers will start to drop in 6 months time. Of course everytime someone else links to you it is renewed. It is pretty clever actually. That way you are sure that the links on Technorati are constantly updated.

Thank you for your comments Hsien and Dennis.

Hsien - I will keep commenting. I think that is the way the blogosphere is supposed to improve.

Dennis,
You are correct. The "links" expire after 6 months. So one has to keep a continual feed going. I have a number of sites I check daily. If I have a comment that seems useful and valid I make it. If not, I wait for the next time. That should keep things fresh.

Makes me wonder though..does having more authority on Technorati result in a higher traffic to your site?

I think a Technorati rating only works for you if it gets you listed on other sites like the Viral Garden or the Power 150.
It does help you see if you are connecting with others. If your content is such that other people link to it then it has real value. If it is just the product of games, well that may have value for you.
