Sorry brides, but this post probably will not appeal to you… This post is for the other half of our readership, the photographer and bloggers…
If you have a blog, you most definitely have heard of Technorati. It is a search engine for blogs and updates as new posts are done on its listed blogs. The good news is that joining is free. Anyone can submit their blog here.
Technorati ranks your blog and the higher your rank, the bigger the better the chance that it will appear in searches done on their site. Furthermore, they encourage blogs to link to each other. The more blogs that link to yours, the higher your rank and the higher your blog will come up in searches.

This system is called “Authority”. For each link on another blog to yours, you get one “Authority point” The more Authority points you have, the higher your rank, the more visible your site will be. And the rest is exponential, as we all know.
I have been tracking my Technorati ranking
for the last 2 weeks. With each post I did, the ranking increased by a meager 1000 places. It started at 4 800 000th blog in the world.
But… that was without any “Authority points”
Today I got my first “Authority point” and that boosted my Ranking by more than 2 million places!!!!Our blog is now 2 600 000th in the world. Still a long way to go, but a great challenge.
So this is what I suggest to the readers of our blog.
- Open yourself a Technorati account (if you have a blog).
- Write a post where you link to our blog (http://www.zara-zoo.com/blog).
- We will return the favour and link to your blog in one of our next posts.
By following this formula, we will increase the rankings of all the blogs in our photographers network. We will become more visible to the world (and South Africa).
