It&#039;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. :)</description>

		<description>I couldn&#039;t tell you how much mine is I don&#039;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.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;And Kyle&#039;s isn&#039;t there already?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I was there for awhile, but now I&#039;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&#039;t place a whole lot of value in Technorati&#039;s algorithm because it doesn&#039;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&#039;t even count an inbound link from an unrelated site.  

I definitely think there is some value in Technorati&#039;s rankings, but it can be manipulated a bit like Alexa.

		<description>@Zath
Thank you, buddy!

@K
Hmmm, t-shirts. I&#039;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&#039;re into indie films, I guess that means you&#039;ll be doing your own, which may be more fun anyway, come to think of it. I&#039;m sending you a virtual &quot;cheers&quot; with milk!

@Tish
I do so appreciate that!

@Tay
5K? My fingers are crossed. ;)</description>
