Is there any real benefit to Technorati tags?

Croak from The Bavarian Falcon on Problogger thinks so. He says "Another benefit of tagging (and displaying those tags) is that readers who bookmark you to del.icio.us can see what tags you’re using, and will often copy them."

Yet Om Malik shows us the dark side of Technorati tags.

I wonder if there is any SEO benefit to Technorati tags at all? Which one will benefit more: your tags or Technorati’s tags?

If you use your own tag for say Google's Blogger it would look like this


Google's Blogger


Wayne Hurlbert states, " Technorati tags provide search engine benefit as well. Since the important keywords for the blog post are spelled out in the Technorati tag, and are part of a link, they have real SEO value. Google gives strong consideration to Technorati tags, whether post generated automatically from code or pre-existing categories, or from manual coding for individual posts."

Is there any real benefit to Technorati tags?

I guess that all depends on who you ask.

I don't think there is that much benefit in Technorati full stop. I have had two people link to my Blog, but Technorati still shows no linkers!

There must be better ways to get your blog rating up, although right now I can't think how icon_rolleyes.gif

Strange as it seems to work fine for me. I currently have 13 blogs linking to my main blog and expecting it to show 14 before the day is out.

Can't remember when I first started using it but most of the links I've had added all seemed to show up quickly enough.

My ranking is 22,061 (536 links from 134 blogs).


Technorati is supposed to bring more readers to your blog, but does it?

I'd have to agree with you on that one westen, I have a who's online widget on mine and you do only see the technorati bot in after new posts. I can't recall a single time seeing it just there, but then it's not a search engine like yahoo or google so it is probably just how they work.

Having used Technorati tags now I found that Tagging is useful to your bog.

If your blog software supports categories, and you use the included category system and are publishing RSS/Atom feeds then your categories will be read as tags on Technorati.

However, I use many popular Technorati tag words in my post that I don't have categories for. This is one reason why it is useful to use tags on your posts.

The Technorati Tag page for 'YouTube' at the time of writing this post contained 1,358,057 results from blogs where bloggers are blogging about YouTube.

I have searched through the tags on Technorati and have received visits to my blog through other searching the Technorati tags. It does not bring a great deal of traffic, but it has brought some.

I get very little traffic from technorati, tagging or not.

I've also noticed this: there are bloggers linking to me that do not show up in my technorati profile. Is it because they haven't claimed their blogs? Not everyone does; I didn't for a long time, but it shouldn't make a difference, right?

Hello Kathy, I explained one reason for this in my article Who's linking to your blog?

They also have an explanation in their FAQ section as to why links from other blogs may not be showing up in search.
