I Finally Joined The Ranks of Technorati Top 10K

  • Whew! I thought it would never get here. I finally broke the top 10K level at Technorati.

    So for those of you who are already there, perhaps you can answer me this question: precisely, when do the movie offers and book deals start coming in? I just need to make sure I have my calendar cleared for the meetings. LOL :lol:

    Congratz!

    It is always fun to hit a milestone like that, especially when you specifically targeted that particular milestone.

    @Ad Tracker
    Oh how silly of me, of course, the checks should be arriving daily now. :lol:

    @Christine
    I read your post last night and thought I had commented on it. Maybe I forgot to press “submit”. Congrats to you too! ;)

    @Kyle
    Looks like you’ll be hitting that level soon yourself. :)

    Way to go Mark, congrats!

    I’ve not checked my rank in months, I’m guessing it won’t be very good at all, but I’ll take this as a prompt.

    Well done!

    Congratulations! Great job. It’s not so easy to get high rank at Technorati at all, especially if you don’t like to ask people to favorite your site lol. I am very far away from you, still need do lots of work, only in Rank: 55,948 right now *shocked*…

    Congrats, buddy! Welcome to the club :mrgreen:

    I’ve yet to receive any movie deals :/ I did get an e-mail from someone who wanted to pay me to write about their wine. I’m not much of wine drinker though so I had to decline. Now if it were milk :P

    @Zath
    Thank you, buddy!

    @K
    Hmmm, t-shirts. I’ll have to look into that. ;)

    @Mike H
    Thank you! I never really thought much about it, but glad to have made the achievement.

    @IngaOz
    And thank you too for your kind words. :)

    @Mike W
    Well, seeing as how you’re into indie films, I guess that means you’ll be doing your own, which may be more fun anyway, come to think of it. I’m sending you a virtual “cheers” with milk!

    @Tish
    I do so appreciate that!

    @Tay
    5K? My fingers are crossed. ;)

    And Kyle’s isn’t there already?

    I was there for awhile, but now I’m going the wrong way :mrgreen:

    I had a bunch of inbound links from the Technorati Favorites Exchange that fell off because it has been more than 6 months now.

    I don’t place a whole lot of value in Technorati’s algorithm because it doesn’t factor related links. For example, if a celebrity gossip blog linked to my site, that would have the same value as a technology blog linking to my site, though Google wouldn’t even count an inbound link from an unrelated site.

    I definitely think there is some value in Technorati’s rankings, but it can be manipulated a bit like Alexa.

    I couldn’t tell you how much mine is I don’t check it however despite what it is I still get offers weekly from solicitors, and my websites are doing very well. You can do well monetarily without the high ranking.

    A few of my low ranking websites have proven that. In my case it had something to do with how I marketed myself and also had a lot to do with the type of content I provide.

    @Opal
    It’s good to know that the solicitors are looking at you as the author/owner and the quality of your content and not the ranking. Good to see you hear. :)
