Tagging - Why aren't you doing it?

T Pat · 2006-09-25, 07:59 PM

Technorati is as much a mistery to me as google
I tried registering my aggregater that stopped them crawling my site.
updated my profile now I see my picture is up as a featured blogger http://www.technorati.com/
Today I claimed another blog it was crawled and updated instantly
Yet if I ping them that I've updated my aggregater nothing changes
http://www.technorati.com/search/rssxxxfeed.com
and I'm trying to be patient

All extra traffic is nice to have, but Technorati isn't a big "natural" source for porn customers. So when I tag adult sites my main interest is using them to provide internal tagging as an extra way for search engines to find their way deeper into my sites.

That translates into a tag cloud on the first page and then I get around to Technorati, which means tags on every post. However, no way do I want to introduce all those leaks, so the links are normal, but in no-display divs.

As of now, T seems to deal with that just fine, but otherwise it is the most cockeyed directory. For example, yesterday when I looked at the profile I use for my resource site, recent posts (and they were not that recent) were listed as having been scanned a few hours earlier. Today (much) older posts scanned 3 days ago are showing as the latest. That just seems to be the way T is...

I'm not sure I understand the big "natural" source comment. No they are not your typical TGP surfer...and they may not surf link lists but since they are finding my sites looking for keywords like "sex", "fuck", "dildo", "threesome", etc. I consider them a pretty good source for a porn customer. Because they tag rather than bookmark, because they don't come from a SE, but from a tagging resource they aren't interested in the same thing that someone who types the same search terms in google?

Maybe I've been smoking to much dope, but I think the technorati traffic is much more valuable than any other traffic I get. They do tag, which creates natural backlinks, which then in return brings in more SE traffic. How does someone who only bookmark your site in their browser help you? They do buy...although I will admit I think they are less likely to buy on impulse. They are simply the new wave of customers and tapping into their mode of using the internet is keying into the future.
