Ponder this for a second:

We launched the Technology Evangelist blog six months ago this past Friday, and have learned a lot about blogging over the past 180+ days. Here are a ten things we learned and/or wish we knew before we started:

Let's face it: Even the best columnists at the New York Times bat somewhere around the Mendoza Line when it comes to delivering newsworthy or thought provoking columns. It's simply impossible to write something remarkable in every column.

You probably know by now that you need to claim and ping your blog to start moving up the Technorati ranks. But what else should you know about this blog search engine?
April 5, 2006
Now that Technorati is tracking MySpace blogs, we can see what topics MySpace bloggers find interesting. Technorati tracks the terms used on blogs they index, so spikes in word usage this past week - other than caused by news stories - can likely be attributed to the addition of MySpace blogs to Technorati's search engine.
April 3, 2006
Technorati is now tracking MySpace blogs, which means MySpace users can now claim their blogs on Technorati. MySpace users now have a chance to become as addicted to Technorati as they are to MySpace!

Frank Gruber raised a good point in the comments following my post, Ping Your Way to a High Technorati Ranking, when he asked how does one know that another blog is linking to you.
March 23, 2006
Two months ago, I posted an article called,
"Technorati
Link Optimization: Getting What You Deserve" that explained how the
Technorati blog search engine uses inbound links to blogs to decide how
important a blog is, and thus how high to rank the site. In my opinion, if a
site chooses to link to you, you should deserve credit for the link to you
site on blog search engines like Technorati. I figured out a way to optimize
the Technorati ranking of this site by detecting who's linking to the site,
and pinging sites that hadn't already pinged themselves.

Technology Evangelist has switched to using a tag cloud for the category navigation on this site. So, what does that mean and why does it matter?

Google's latest Toolbar (Verson 4) has a new feature that is sure to be popular with people who are interested in making the most of their toolbar real estate: custom buttons. (Check your toolbar version under Settings > Help > About Google Toolbar. This function currently works only on Internet Explorer versions of the toolbar.)

Technology Evangelist has been live on Google News for two weeks now, giving us time to analyze how this new syndication source has effected our traffic. While our traffic has increased significantly since being added to Google News, the most interesting thing we've learned is how Google News together with Google AdSense plays a role in blog spam.

Yesterday's post on Technorati Optimization has fueled some stinging commentary from a few sites:
January 26, 2006
Anyone who has a blog and is familiar with Technorati is probably very aware of their blog's ranking on the popular blog search engine. If you're not careful, watching a blog's ranking fluctuate may lead to carpal tunnel from clicking the refresh button. Every blogger obsesses about this at some level, including respected bloggers like Steve Rubel, Frank Gruber and blogging newbie, Guy Kawasaki.
