Technorati Watchlist Tips

At Technorati, the Watchlist feature allows you to watch certain tags or categories for new blogs or blog posts. Tags are just like keywords - in fact, they are just a fancy name for keywords ;-)

 
Set up a Watchlist for all of the Tags that you use on your own blog, and any keywords that are relevant to your blog. If you dont blog, or you have other websites in addition to your blog(s) - you can set up a Watchlist for any keywords that are relevant to any of your websites.

 
Create a set time in your work schedule specifically for gaining quality links and driving traffic to your sites or blogs. You might set aside 30 minutes each morning for this task, or 1 hour blocks three days a week. Whatever works best for you, but is consistent and something that you can stick with, is sufficient. The key is to continually gain quality links and to consistently build your traffic and readership. (The search engines prefer signs of steady growth over spikes!)

 
Using your Watchlists, find bloggers and blog posts that interest you and that are related to the topics on your own blog/site(s). Leave comments on posts of interest. If you find a blogger in particular that you like, stay active in their discussions consistently by leaving relevant comments. Not only does each comment that you leave include a link back to your site (which other readers - and spiders - will follow), but it also 'introduces you' to that blogger.

 
Add blogs or bloggers that you like to the Blog Roll on your own blog (or you can link to them from your related content pages on static sites). Most blog platforms will notify that blogger immediately that you have linked to them. Through your comments on their posts, and the fact that you have linked to them, they will generally take the time to check out *your* blog or website.

 
It has been my experience that (if you maintain a quality blog/website) this will usually result in them adding your link to their blogroll in return - and beginning to comment on and 'trackback' your posts. Even if they dont immediately show interest, they will at least be familiar with you when you email them with an offer to exchange links. ;)
