Technorati Tags

I've had a few people email me asking about the Technorati Tags found at the bottom of many of my posts. So I'm providing my answers to those questions here and will provide instruction on how to use them for the benefit of your own blogs.

What's a Technorati tag anyway?

Without reinventing the wheel, I would like to point you in the direction of Consuming Experience and the information on Technorati Tags they have. Their introduction covers just about every question you could ask - where tags are concerned.

How to use Technorati Tags with Blogger -

I've sang the praises of Qumana many times over and Technorati is the biggest reason of them all.

Utilizing a tool such as Qumana - allows you to have full benefit of various tools that will drive traffic, get you tagged and allow you to blog to multiple blogs from one single platform.

With Qumana, I am able to post to my wordpress and blogger blogs without all the hassle of loging out and in to each.

When looking at the Qumana screen, simply run your mouse over each of the photos are the top of the editor. In the top row, second from the far right side is a big Green button with a large white Q on it. That's your tag button!

In the space provided for tags, you're going to want to write in the tags you wish to use. When entering the tags you want, be sure to separate them with comma's and use + symbols for spaces in tags that contain more than one word - example: technorati+tags - there are no spaces in that tag, just the + sign.

Update from Qumana: The new 3.0 beta has been changed a bit. Now you don't need a "+", and tags are separated with a comma.

Technorati has been instrumental in driving a large portion of traffic to my blogs. I am a firm believer in utilizing their free service and tagging everything you can.

If you still have questions on technorati, please feel free to post them in the comments section or drop me an email.
