I did give it a Digg yesterday and commented, but I was far too busy to write something constructive. Even now my head is buried in htaccess stuff and I should have proofed that post a little better before publishing.

Andy, I like reading about stats and website testing. 29% is much lower then I had thought. digg is not the end all be all for traffic, so 71% of the Technorati Top 100 having made first page on digg was a shock.
Yesterday I was doing research for the 30 day challenge and found that one of my key phrases was not popular in the us. The top 10 for that key phrase was Thiland and other smaller countries.

I'm still spinning from making the front page of Digg two days in a row ... but OK OK that's off topic :) As for the Technorati top 100: that would be an interesting test, now that you bring it up. I wonder if this publicity about the facts will actually challenge people to submit them to Digg? This could be a case of the statistics influencing reality in the long run ...

I think people are missing the point here... Digg is a primarily tech-focused community, and not all of the top 100 blogs on Technorati have to do with tech-topics. Some of the top 100 blogs would never make the frontpage of Digg, because their content would never appeal to the Digg community. Just because content is "good" does not mean it deserves Diggs... anyone who knows the Digg community will tell you that.

Christian I still think it is highly unusual for someone to get that many genuine links and not have some Digg suitable content, but maybe not a highly cultivated Digg audience.
I am sure a few of them could benefit from more exposure and would add value with topical news and commentary.
Most of the Top100 do cover material that appears on a regular basis on Digg.

I almost wrote a comment but I realize you are referring to the 100 most linked to blogs. However I was just wondering how does being on the front page of Digg relate to getting on 100 list at Technorati?

I suspect that if you don't discuss technology, a large fraction of your audience doesn't use of visit Diggs. They don't have Digg accounts.
That means that even if you occasionally write Diggable content, they won't Digg. Digging is easy when you know what the button does and you've already joined. Otherwise, you end up being asked to register. That may not seem a high hurdle, but it's big enough to prevent people from bothering.
AndyBeard

It depends, I submitted a picture of a guy cleaning a fishtank yesterday and it received over 1100 Diggs.
Lots of the Technorati Top100 are tech, but many are political, marketing or cool stuff related, with a few GTD and How To sites.
I would really be interested in a list, as on manual inspection I couldn't spot 15 English language blogs on the list which were totally unsuitable for Digg.

Just goes to show that the obsession with being Dugg is not all there is to driving traffic to your site. There are plenty of other ways to do so without trying to please the fickle Digg users or game the system.

i have to say technorati is more on making friends,reading quality post and also the ranking.if let say your site is really one of the top ranked,there isnt any need to join technorati because technorati is more for new site that need reputation.

Actually my father was the head proof reader at the Daily Telegraph and I had a fairly good grammar school education.
Unfortunately I don't have a full time employee to proof read my content, and sometimes mistakes slip through if you are trying to pump out quality content on an almost daily basis.

Especially as the troll left a fake email address
I have been having a terrible time for the last 2 days as I am using a PC which only has a Polish grammar and spell checker, and I dare not change that otherwise "she that must be obeyed" would get upset.
It is really hard to spell check when every single correctly spelled word is underlined in red.

A likely excuse...
As far as I'm concerned, occasional errors are to be expected on blogs. Heck, scroll down and read
Every single one of the co-bloggers on that blog are university professors. Every single one is recognized to be an excellent writer. The one who wrote the "Important Note" is one of the most highly cited law professors in the US! Plus, every single one of those bloggers occasionally has typos.
If faculty members don't hold themselves to the standard of "don't click publish until it's perfect" why should anyone think that standard is reasonable for other people?
You're writing is excellent. Your information is valuable and would be worth reading even if your writing were less good. Your readers know this. :)

I really agree with you. If your blogs are in the top 100 in Technorati, better avoid to get banned by Technorati. I know one of the blogs in top 50 technorati get banned by Technorati is John Chow. Maybe he really too evil, that's why get banned. :P

It makes a lot of sense your blog post. the problem with both of these services is that people are using them to increase there marketing. Instead of focusing on genuinely interesting articles and services.

I do not know what sort of license you publish under so I thought it best to inform you.
Thanks for the heads up though.
Once the link attribution kicks in I have no worries ranking for content, and in many ways it helps me.
