100
After what seemed to be a painful eternity, crawling ever so slowly from 90 and on up, going slower and slower the higher the numbers went, and hovering at 98 then finally 99 for what seemed to be an extraordinarily looooooong time, I have finally obtained the ever so elusive Technorati authority rank of 100! Woohoo!
For a while, I thought that Joanne, being the secret weapon she is, would surely overtake me and beat me to it. I thought even Doug, who had been stuck at 90 for ages and only recently began moving up, might beat me to it as well. I thought that ChrisBlogging, who was at one time way ahead of me, would reach it before me. Or Chris Bloczynski too. Or, Lewis Empire too!
Or, how about A Blog that Lies? Or, One Year Goal–surely he was going to reach 100 before me! Or the Net Business Journal? Or Debo Hobo? What of I Do Things or Phil who basically got me started with WordPress? Or Net Hustlin?
Rubbing it in? Nah! Just trying to spread some Misdo Link Love to my fellow bloggers whom I’ve crushed along the way. (j/k!)
I’m stuck at 90! It’ll take forever to get to 100.
You’re at 91 now.
The 90’s do seem to move s-l-o-w-l-y. It seemed like I kept getting new incoming links, but the rating wasn’t increasing as fast as the links were coming!
Hey hey, congrats! I’ve sorta been hoping that mine won’t climb so fast since I’ll eventually be moving permanently over to my own domain, lols.
Thanks for the congrats.
On the domain name, you’ve been saying that for ages.
WordPress 2.3 is just around the corner, and you had previously said you couldn’t wait that long before making the switch.
Hahaha…yeah, hold on a sec while I take my ambitious foot out of my mouth.
So, I didn’t want to cut down on the quality or frequency of my posts nor can I ignore my academic schedule (among other things), so my switch over to self-hosted wordpress (and certain memes/viral tags) have been collecting dust as a result. It’s happening, just at a slower pace (I already bought a webhost so I’m just experimenting on the side when I have extra time) =P
Thanks for the link luvin’, I just passed fifty in the past few days. Never thought in a million years I’d be glad to see fifty.
You’re at 56 now! I’m still stuck at 100.
Ooospy! And of course…..CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Thanks!
And I should worry about this why?
I do it because I like writing for an audience. The fact that I’m even at 90 probably has a hell of a lot more to do with all the drive-by hits to salacious images (e.g., my camel toe post, or my butt crack bonanza) than with incoming links from the folks I like.
Besides, I bet my medical website has some kinda monstrous authority. How do I check it, anyway?
Whatcha talkin’ ’bout, Willis? You‘re the one that got me obsessed with Technorati!!!
Surely, you jest. But, if not, sigh…
Wax, Boogers, and Phlegm: Technorati Authority: 1. No Google PageRank
The Medical Consumer’s Advocate: Not a blog, so no Technorati Authority. No Google PageRank either.
You can check your Google PageRank here.
Rats! I didn’t realize authority only applied to blogs. It’s a shame, because Medical Consumer’s Advocate has some substantial Google moxie. Search ear wax (I’m #5 on page 1), Eustachian tube (#2 on page 2), nose bleed (#5 on page 1), Jewish chicken soup (bottom of page 2). itchy ears (#3 on page 1) . . .
Doesn’t surprise me Wax Boogers and Phlegm is in the toilet. I don’t update regularly and I do nothing to promote it.
Something must have been wrong with the PR checker yesterday. I just checked and you have PR4 on Medical Consumer’s Advocate but a PR5 on Wax Boogers and Phlegm. I could be wrong, but you’re probably getting the PR5 on WBP because you’re getting some PR pass-thru from being hosted on Blogspot.
I am so glad you are doing well. I am also happy that I was the one who got you started with Wordpress. I bet you are glad too as that other software you were using just had to go
I’m still using it, so you better upgrade your servers when the new version comes out.
I’m unclear on the prchecker concept. Their scale is 1 to 10; where do the supra-10 numbers come from? In other words, how do I get my blog to go to 11?
Google PageRank only goes from 0 to 10. To get 11, you’d probably have to pay Larry and Sergey a sizable amount to make it worth their while.
I’m still curious. Where are you checking for the Technorati rankings? The Type A in me wants to know. The Type B in me is unsuccessfully trying to restrain the Type A from asking this question.
Never mind. Just figured out that I could find it if I signed in. Now I need to see if I can figure out how to check other people’s blogs.
Doug,
Use this:

Do not enter “http://”. Just use the base url, such as “ballsandwalnuts.com” or “boogerz.blogspot.com” like this:
http://www.technorati.com/blogs/boogerz.blogspot.com/?reactions
I’ll race you to 150
You’re on!
[...] of mine, Dan from DCR Blogs. I find Dan to be imaginative in his writing, and and judging from his rising Technorati ranking, lots of other people are reading (and linking over!) to Dan’s blog, as well. Get to know Dan [...]
lol, I still have a long way before I get in the 3 digits. Congrats
