But despite pinging their servers for years I don't think I have ever faired well with them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1132563040987382372005-11-21T16:50:00.000+08:002005-11-21T16:50:00.000+08:00It's a crazy list.

Then on another day they refine the system or add more people, and the numbers change. <BR/><BR/>Because it seems to be done purely by number of inward links and tag:taiwan, any big-ish blogger who adds a tag to their Technorati profile or posts will suddenly be ranked highly. I'm very high on the Hong Kong list too, although I've posted about five entries on the place...<BR/><BR/>Plus they don't seem to like blogspot and completely ignore livejournal.<BR/><BR/>A big blog like yours could fuck with their system quite a bit, if you tag a few posts "papier mache", "hendrix", or something else obscure - then email them again asking who is the world's leading blogger on Jimi Hendrix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-1132541963929769582005-11-21T10:59:00.000+08:002005-11-21T10:59:00.000+08:00Yeah - I think technorati has been struggling for ...Yeah - I think technorati has been struggling for a while now ... I don't think it's handled the increase in blogs that well.<BR/><BR/>I think the blogger search engine is in fact the <A HREF="http://blogsearch.google.com" REL="nofollow"/>, which is pretty good. I've also been playing about with <A HREF="http://sphere.com" REL="nofollow">sphere</A> - it's still in beta (so you have to register), but it looks quite good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
