Technorati tags (thing 14)

So... Technorati Tags. The most important thing to know about Technorati Tags is that Blogger Labels are indeed picked up by Technorati and displayed on their tags page. Blogger A Consuming Experience has spent a great deal of time investigating this and has written up some findings... here.

Benefits of tagging:

• Search engines pick up your journal post and send more traffic to you
• Your journal has an index of sorts, particularly if you keep a running list of your tags in a sidebar
• You can index any posts you contribute on other blogs (see Meblogging)
  

So, Del.icio.us has trained me pretty well - I've been "labeling" this blog from the start
