Not a single myspace blog is ranked among their top 100, despite having more readers and comments among their top blogs. It looks like Technorati is among the last of the nearly extinct dot com bubble company's. It’s too bad the Technorati ranking system is completely bogus.

It's more challenging to me to make it on my own rather than have a bunch of people, who don't even read my blog, favorite me. I understand why people do it. It's just not for me.

Anyone who uses that file distorts the statistics somewhere. Maybe it is not Technorati number of subscribers, but Bloglines or Google Reader... or in some cases both. Bloglines is a more popular RSS reader than Technorati, so to get on their Top list would take a lot more people importing, but based on the low number of Bloglines subscribers that is currently typical in many industries, and the high percentage of how it affects monetization with text links with TLA (40%) at least on their Blog Juice Calculator, a few extra subscribers makes a lot of difference.

It's not only cheapened by the favorite swapping, it doesn't send any traffic any way. In the end, it's still a list and some people go nuts over lists. :) This is something I noticed after our blog hit the 100 fave list.

It is because of having so many people wanting to get to that list, it devalued the quality of that list. Also, the list is now very inconsistent because it is in a constant change. (changes every minute because of thousands of bloggers wanting to be there.) I do still do the habit of adding people's blog to my favorites but not as frequent as the first hype of the wagon.

I do still do the habit of adding people’s blog to my favorites but not as frequent as the first hype of the wagon.

News to me. They've been funded millions countless times and have no real innovation to prove for it. =/ When the top 100 was initially put out I was on there for months, with a peak of slot 32 or so. Traffic-wise Technorati doesn't send much of anything. The top 100 list has become nothing more than a contest to see who can do a better job begging their readers to favorite them, with the exception of the top 30 or so that are quality bloggers.

It's nice to trade links with those in your industry with blogs you already read and admire, but I've never put much stock in 'favoriting' just for traffic.
