I have been one odd viral trains in past. No doubt, my blog was benefited with the backlinks and my technorati authority shot up to levels of 50000 from nowhere that time but that was only compilation of some website links. Technorati Authority is comprised of the total number of unique links to your blog in the last 6 months. Though stats of your blogs improve, the content goes down. I found a nice mid way though. This will not only get your backlinks and improve your technorati authority but also give you some of the best articles to visit around the blogosphere.

Would you like to improve your technorati authority and backlinks, and still want to provide good content to your readers? Enjoy the snowball effect and gain many links but still provide great content to your readers. I am starting off with a nice article from my friend and favorite blogger Enkay blog, on how to host a contest.

So here is what you need to do - follow the rules!

*** Beginning of Great Blog Posts ***

Life is Colourful has started a great blog posts train, that would help to compile some of the best articles around the web giving due respect to the blog post author.

Rule 1: Write a short blurb on this unique idea of giving due respect to great blog posts you like from your favorite bloggers.

Rule 2: Copy the content from “Beginning of Great Blog Post” upto “End of Great Blog Post” and paste it in your blog post

Well, it’s there since last few days and I have taken snapshot of it for simple reason of the number - 9999! Not much to write about it at this moment, but I would soon let you new bloggers know, few ways to increase your Technorati authority. The most important method is to publish quality content though.

Though it does not have a huge significance in my blog’s quality, it’s just something I wanted to achieve in statistics of this blog.

Last time I posted about sudden jump in my technorati ranking that I really could not understand what kind of bug technorati had seen in past. But I am not sure now what should I call it, a bug or reality, I am not understanding at all. I am not sure what happened the other day with this blog’s technorati rank but suddenly the blog started showing up technorati rank of 14800 that was 12130 last week. The blog reactions at technorati have been increasing every day and the blog authority reached to 379 with the blog showing up technorati rank 12130. Next day, I see the authority remains same but the technorati rank reaches to 14800.

First of all, I could not believe such a huge downfall in a day and moreover the round figure of 14800 make it little suspicious. I don’t have much in hand to do, but I thought I shall bring it up so if you are also facing this issue - we might think of together how to get it fixed.

Early this year, I had mentioned about my goal to take this blog’s technorati rank to top 10000 from 15592 [Feb 2008] and I had almost reached half way to 12130 in only 2 months but this sudden downfall makes me reinstate my goal. Anyways, I would bring it in Top 10000 blogs by any way this year. If I could increase the technorati rank by 3000 in 2 months, I shall not take more than 6 months to get my position back.

It’s not like I am a statoholic but it’s just that there are always few things in our life that we want to achieve. In the same way, I want to take up my blog to Top 10000 blogs in technorati. Apart from the challenge, there is nothing interesting in this.

I am not using some “get quick cash” kind of tactics to increase the technorati ranking of this blog but I am going slow and steady on the technorati rankings of this blog like a long term investment

I have seen the technorati ranking of this blog around 18-19000 few months back and since then it’s consistently increasing day by day. I hope you know that more your authority, more your ranking in technorati. And how do your blog gets authority in technorati is when technorati calculates how many “authorized” blogs link you back.

Right now the authority is around 317 and the ranking is close to 156000. This authority can change as technorati excludes the links that are older than 6 months. So if you monitor your authority numbers, you might see some variation in the technorati authority after few days interval.

For lifeiscolourful.com, my goal for this year is to make it to Top 10000 blogs in technorati. Let’s see if I can achieve that. Wish me all the luck and link to any of the posts on my blog that you like!

My blog at Technorati had Authority of 125 yesterday in Technorati and Rank of 40265. But I don’t know what have been changed in a day, but today my Authority is 126 and Rank is 22166. A sudden jump of 18000 is unusual when there is no significant change in authority.

In the past, I had posted that I wanted to check how much change I could see in technorati authority and ranks after participating in all those viral links and trains. That was a significant difference and need to be mentioned, my blog’s technorati jumped to Top 50,000 within couple of months. I don’t know the exact time line, as I did not track technorati ranking then. I was just hoping to be in Top 100,000 then.

Let me check if my latest technorati rank stays the same for few more days, which will prove there is nothing wrong with Technorati system. I am happy anyways. I will update you on this again.

Meanwhile, if you have more insight on how technorati ranking work, please feel free to drop a line here. And to get higher ranking in Technorati, I would not mind to suggest you to participate in the viral linking post

Update: Yes, there was something wrong with Technorati today. Now the stats are changed to Authority: 130 and Rank: 38,907 on main page. Though it still shows near to 21000 ranking on this page at technorati

Damn, the fun did not last for long it seems… LOL!
