So I just spent about 10-15 minutes going through everybody who has added me as one of their favorites in technorati. Wow this Technorati Train thing really took off! This one simple train took my blog from a 350k technorati ranking to an 88k ranking last I checked.
I have to let you know though, it has nothing to do with the actual favorites themselves. As Nick “Spud Oregon” Ramsay has pointed out in his post: Technorati Favorites. Its not about the favorites, its about all the back-links that are being created by this train.
I got in on the train fairly early, so I can rest assured that my name is being spread around quite often as long as it keeps going. With the combination of that and the favorites themselves – Well – I didn’t let that stop me from still trying to be active. Why did it take me 10-15 minutes to go through all those that favorited me? Well that because I went through every user and every blog of that user. They all now have me favoriting them, not just the blog from the train, but every blog of that users. If by chance I missed you, please post a comment here to let me know. Heck that comment even comes with a free back-link

The number of people who have favorited my site has doubled since I joined the train, and the backlinks are coming in, too! Don’t miss the train!
I’m not sure exactly where my rating was before the train, but I know it was at least 350k+. The train’s effect is very impressive.
It really is! Before that last train, my rank was 20,000. As of right now, it’s 15,230!!
But all of a sudden the links stopped coming in…
I don’t know what happened.
I’ll be taking on another train…
Seeing Ive it to all my 6 sites, some which get 1,200 pageviews, expect more faves than ever.
Lets make you hit 20,000
It would be so nice to get down to that range.
Thank you so very much for continuing the train and showing all of your support!
In a different way, the Technorati Favorites Train helped me as well. My ranking went from 3mil (yeah, i know
) to 800k. That’s still a way too high number, but that’s a big jump.
Actually my blog is quite new and I haven’t tried getting it out there since this past week… I mostly made it as a personal journal, then a few real life friends started reading it, and I even got some to start their own blogs
But hey, a few readers that I don’t know won’t hurt!
The Link train actually showed me great blogs to be active on and get backlinks from instead of getting backlinks from people who continue the train. As I said, I really had no readers other than RL friends so no one was going to continue the train from my blog
All of us started at that 3 mill mark. Trust me, as long as you have an active blog, you will have it go down fast.
I’m just glad you tagged me because the people I tagged stopped the train on my side
Hey, you read about the DoFollow list right? That’s helped my Feed number a lot. I know there’s a D-list train running around somewhere out there too but that’s mainly for the backlinks, not the feed.
I know I too was extremely lucky to get into when I did. It really helped me and as long as you can get somebody to continue it, the results are amazing.
Plus I was very lucky when David Culpepper (of PureBlogging.com) read it on my site and rebranched it from there!
That NOFOLLOW thing was crazy! I got so many links from that too!
the train flew off the tracks and ran around the world seven times… it’s crazy… i’m going to have to hire a part-time assistant to “fave” everyone who’s faved me, and check out their blogs. last i checked i was #78 on t’rati faves. and my rank dropped from 88k pre-train to 31k. crazy…
Would it be cool if I used that Technorati Train image?
Yep, as my post says at the bottom in small text, anybody can use that image that I created. Please feel free to use it.
