Recently I came across this post on Dosh Dosh about Technorati favorites exchange experiment and since I am a regular user of Technorati, I was intrigued by it and decided to participate in it.

Before going into the details of the contest let me give you some background information.

What is Technorati?

On the World Live Web, bloggers frequently link to and comment on other blogs, creating the type of immediate connection one would have in a conversation. Technorati tracks these links, and thus the relative relevance of blogs, photos, videos etc. Technorati rapidly index tens of thousands of updates every hour, and monitors these live communities and the conversations they foster.

What is Technorati rank and why is it important?

A Technorati Ranking relates to the number of sources that point to a particular weblog relative to other weblogs. The more sources referencing a weblog, the higher the Technorati ranking. The Technorati Ranking for a blog is displayed in URL Search results, Blog search results, and is displayed in the account profile for all claimed blogs.

Technorati rank is very popular in the blogosphere and thus it becomes a prestige thing. But besides that lot of advertising tools use this rank as a parameter while evaluating your blog for cost/per link of advertisement.

What is Technorati Favorites?

It is way of organizing your favorite blogs from the blogosphere. It is sort of like a bookmark but provides powerful features like:

ability to see/monitor posts from your favorite blogs
ability to subscribe to rss feed which gives you posts only from your favorite blogs
ability to tag your favorite blogs

The Technorati Top 100 most favorited is a list of blogs according to the number of people who have favorited them on Technorati.

What do I achieve out of this game?

Objective of part I of the experiment is to land into the Technorati Top 100 most favorited blogs. This brings glory, name, recognition and more traffic to your blog.

Objective of part II of the game is to increase the Technorati ranking.

The rules of the game are simple and there are two ways in which you can participate (you can choose both):

1. Exchange favorites on Technorati

you can do that by clicking here or the image below:

and then leave a comment to this post with the following pieces of information:

your Technorati username
your blog name

I will verify and add your blog to the list of my favorites blog on Technorati. My Technorati username is vikassah.

You might as well provide a link to directly add your site to my Technorati favorites by providing a URL link this: http://technorati.com/faves?add=http://www.technacular.com replacing technacular.com with your blog. You can get various types of Technorati favorites button from this page.

2. Exchange links on posts on this Technorati favorites experiment

Bloggers who are interested in participating in this game can post a similar post on their blog and provide a link to this post there.

I will monitor the trackback and add a link to your article on this post. Please email me with your post to expedite the process.
