I just bought a new 3 character domain (cost me a packet) for a niche review blog, and i was wondering if your design is a free or paid one? I'm new to Wordpress and about to set it up, and i would really like to get something with a similar look to yours. Any ideas where i could download or buy something similar? Thanks for your help! :) Hiya, i have seen your site when searching a few weeks ago and i really love the design!

I migrated these over and they're still in there but I haven't bothered to do so with posts since coming over to Wordpress. My impression is that Technorati tags are not very helpful. I've never gotten any significant traffic from their use. That said, I never had any significant issues getting Technorati to update itself about my old site. In fact, I still see incoming links added to it on a regular basis. Getting Technorati to update itself about the new site, on the other hand, has been a bit problematic at times. Any connection or is Technorati just slower to index links for newer sites?

I stopped showing them a few months ago, and it didn't affect me in a bad way at all. I personally see very little traffic coming from the technorati tags.

I just had to know if the Technorati tags I was appending to my posts were actually making any kind of difference at all -- and the evidence so far indicates that they are in fact making no difference whatsoever. So I think that part of the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin will just get turned off -- thereby saving me from having these ugly keywords showing up on the front page. :D Thanks kayliz.

I've always wondered why I haven't heard of some(or all) of the Technorati top ten searches on any given day. Now I know(from this post2 and its comments) that there are other people like me. I wonder whether there are more. Naturally, this leads to the question: who makes those particular searches? This is an interesting study.

I just always assumed I just didn't know what was going on in the world. But it would seem there's just a viral effect -- the more people that post/search about something, the faster it grows.

Feedburner stats are not showing me a single visit from either Technorati or a Google (or other search engine search) that includes any of these search terms. So if you got here through either of those means, please, leave a comment and let me know. I'll be checking my more detailed site stats later on in the evening, and would happily post them here after a few days so we can all see the results of the experiment.
