I did, and then removed it - it doesn't make any sense at all for me to favorite a blog which isn't in English, and I can't understand a word of it.
If I wasn't planning to use the OPML data for other projects, it wouldn't be a problem, but it would prove difficult filtering it out manually.

Hi Jules

They do tend to be picked up, it is one of the reasons cloaked affiliate links can include the details of a page within search results, whereas older frame methods didn't.

You don't really want to go beyond 5 RSS items, because they leak Google Juice, and because they are probably in your sidebar, those links then get discounted.

On many themes sidebar contents gets included on every page, including the duplicate content pages, so ends up multiplying.

Hi Andy, I have a question for your Technorati Faves list. If it's in an iframe will it still be picked up by the search engine spiders? I always thought that iframes were not bot friendly.

True, looking at it from the long term point of view. Anyone who ends up reading your blog from Technorati or MyBlogLog is a blogger, which means they're more likely to subscribe and they're more likely to link/interact/engage.

I hadn't thought of it that way.

You are looking at this from a purely statistics point of view, the amount of traffic that might be generated on a single day, from a single search term.

I take a long-term outlook on traffic, and also place a lot of value of various forms of social proof.

Technorati favorites is just measure of success, and actually has some use as it also allows me to help my readers as well. Whilst I have removed the Technorati widget showing posts from my sidebar temporarily because it was running very slowly, I will be introducing an RSS feed there soon.

I don't think I have ever received more than 20 visitors in a day from MyBlogLog, but it has brought me a huge number of subscribers.

Matt Mullenwag had a good comment on being in the Technorati top 100: http://engtech.wordpress.co...

He said that being in the Technorati Top 10 only drove around 200 hits a day.

I've been in the #1 position on Technorati search for the top search term before and seen only 40 hits/day.

Technorati doesn't matter.

I've come to this a little late but I've just added your blog to my technorati favorites. Would have done it anyway without any incentive because it's a pretty damn good read. :)

Hi Peter

Glad you found it useful, now reciprocated

What I didn't mention is that it seems logical that the more favorites you have, the more likely Technorati will pick up your content quickly.
