Technorati Tags For Blog Traffic

Being new to blog marketing and learning how to get blog traffic has its advantages! During your search you end up finding lots of cool stuff and having the eyes of  beginner allows you to help and answer questions for others that want to know. Sometimes when you get really good at things, you forget what someone new needs to know. In this example, I had no idea how to use Technorati tags and if I did, I wouldnt know that that help increase traffic.

On to the article.

This is a very simple but great tip on how to increase
traffic to your blog and it actually came from
Derek Gehls blog which I heard about by reading James Brausch’s blog. (See, now your getting how this blog thing can catch on!) Derek writes great stuff and you
can take a look at his blog here:

This post is from the original article here:

http://blog.marketingtips.com/derek/2006/06/how_a_game_of_tag_can_direct_s.html

That I saw over at James Brausch’s site here:

This tip to increase blog traffic is very simple.  You
simply let the major blog search engine know about
the most recent topic of the post you just put up.  That
search engine is called Technorati. It has a unique way of
allowing you to tell it the topic of each post you just made
. This simple method is called Technorati tagging and you
can see it on alot of blogs. There is the old school, hard
way to do this but I am going to show you the new school
easy way.

Go to this site:

Now if you look up in the right hand corner, you will see a link for the
tag generator.  You want to click on that.

Enter your keywords that tell the topic of your post and
click the checkbox on the left for Technorati you could also
do digg at this point but thats for another article. 
Magically some HTML code will appear.

You are going to want to copy that HTML code and insert it
at the bottom of your blog entry in HTML view mode before
you post. This works the easiest with a WP blog but will
work with blogger as well.

That is all you have to do.  Technorati will instantly
list you at the top of the results for those keywords that
are related to your topic until post comes along that is on
that topic.

This is a super easy and effective way to get new targeted
traffic to your blog, enjoy!

So here is the funny part. After going through all that and understanding how to use the Technorati Tags to increase blog traffic, I went and put up the post without any tags! Genius! Fixed it now and you can see how the tags below reflect the content of this blog entry. Now if someone was looking for these topics over at Technorati, then I would come up and get some traffic!
