My Technorati Targets

Technorati is a blog search engine, according to their site they track over 112.8 million blogs and over 250 million pieces of tagged social media.
Here is a quote from the Technorati about page:
Technorati is the recognized authority on what’s happening on the World Live Web, right now. The Live Web is the dynamic and always-updating portion of the Web. We search, surface, and organize blogs and the other forms of independent, user-generated content (photos, videos, voting, etc.) increasingly referred to as “citizen media.”
Technorati uses several different methods for ranking blogs:
- Authority
- Number of Fans
- Ranking
The Technorati Authority is the number of blogs that have linked to your blog in the last 6 months. The higher the number the better.
The number of fans is simply the number of people that have added you as a favourite on Technorati.
The Technorati Rank is based on the Authority of your blog, the blog with the highest authority is ranked #1, with the smaller the number being better.
Technorati also has a Top 100 section that lists the top 100 ranked blogs, the top 5 current blogs are:
All of these can be increased, and that is what I am looking to do. I am setting myself a target to reach by the end of July. July is going to be a big month for ProTycoon.com. I will be competing in Blogging Idol, I also have my blog redesign which should be ready in the coming weeks. I am now going to raise the bar by setting some extra goals to add that little extra motivation.
These are my current Technorati stats:
Authority: 23
Fans: 1
Rank: 293,031
I am looking to improve all three of these stats. The targets I have set myself are:
Authority: 200
Fans:20
Rank: 200,000
As you can see I am sticking with the number 2 a lot. These are just some rough targets to give myself something to work towards. I will assess how I have done at the end of July, then set some new targets for the following month.
Help me reach my targets, become a fan of ProTycoon.com. Why not share your blogs stats, do you have any goals or tips for Technorati.

I don’t have Technorati goals per se, I’m more into my Alexa goals. I want to be in the top 500,000 ranking. I also want to have 10,000 pageviews/month, and I’m currently at 6400. I’m sure that’s lame for some that get that many hits per day or hour, but I’ve got to start somewhere.
I may have missed it but I don’t see an easy way on your site to add you to technorati. You should include a link even directly on the post.

if you get an authority of 200, your rank will be more like <30,000…
I reckon you can hit that target easy!

I have my new design coming this week.
It is included on there, make sure you check back this week, the new design is awesome.
Just keep going, you will get there, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I am expecting to make a big jump up the rankings.
A top 50,000 would be amazing for a 4 month old blog.
