But you're right of course, if Technorati doesn't care it's pointless having so many links out that do nothing for me.

The hippy is right...of course. The problem with UTW is the documentation. It's just flat out intimidating.

The plug-in itself isn't that difficult to figure out and does some really cool things like adds your tags to your feeds, allows you to do related posts based on tags and can even add the tags as keywords on your post pages.

I would never use tags if I had to link to technorati as I believe a large portion of the traffic they do send is of the spammer type. But there is some anicdotal evidence that suggests that the SE's may in fact pay attention to them. I suspect it's a similar boost to say bolding your keywords but haven't tested any of the theories.

If you need some help with UTW, hit me up. I can get you running.
