Have you ever wondered why you keep making posts and gaining backlinks, but your authority rank on Technorati never seems to go up in count?

Well, this is because Technorati’s spiders have not realized that your backlink count from other blogs has increased. The websites linking to you have not pinged Technorati since before they were updated with your link.

In order to make sure your backlinks are being indexed by Technorati, use Google or Yahoo! Site Explorer to search for your backlinks.

Make a list of all websites that are linking to you, and submit all the websites in your list to Technorati’s ping tool. (Or, if you have a huge list, you can use Sebastian’s Technorati Ping Application) When Technorati receives the pings for the various websites linking back to you, it will add the backlinks to your own website’s count, increasing your authority ranking! Make sure to ping Technorati with your own URL when you update your website, so your own links out will be counted.
