@BigPappa That is awesome to have 250 ( I am working on it ) You will have to tell us about your contest, I would love to donate…

@Karlonia I also agree these a great ways to increase technorati ranking, I considered mentioning them but thought I would save them for another.

I think mine is about 250 right now. I check it every now and then to see who is talking about me. If they link to me I go and thank them. It's a simply matter of blog courtesy. I have another big contest coming up. That will probably yield some big links and shoot that number right up.

Yes, contests are definitely a good way for boosting Technorati authority relatively quickly.

What I have been doing for Technorati authority (besides writing content) is commenting on blogs that do not use the nofollow tag in the comment URL field. If the blog does use nofollow, Technorati does not seem to count it, or at least that has been my experience so far.

Another little tip that I figured out increaseing Technorati rank is to do manual pinging. You can go to the ping form page at Technorati, enter the URL of any web page that you know contains a link to your site, and press the "Ping" button to send out Technorati's crawlers.

Sometimes it will take up to 24 hours to get credited with the authority point, but I have found that this is a good way to quickly increase authority when you have backlinks from lots of obscure sites that do not normally get crawled often.

About three weeks ago, I used this tactic by simply browsing through my backlinks at Yahoo's site explorer page, opening up the Technorati ping form in another tab, and pinging any sites that I knew were not crediting me with backlinks at Technorati. It took a few minutes to get through them all, but at the end of the day I was able to increase my Technorati authority by more than 20 points with relatively little effort.
