    hi there,

    Wondering which tags you use. I myself use technorati and it gives me some traffic.

    Which good tag sites are there besides technorati?

    I use tags but I use them to increase my internal navigation, not send my readers elsewhere

    right, but also to improve the user experience as I'm able to build up related posts, tag clouds etc.

    @sarahk, true true. First I implemented the freetag_class (don't remember what the php class was called), but now since I use WP I use a plugin.

    @jarodboy, what do you mean?

    Anyone can put a "technorati" tag into any post on any blog platform. See the How to add Technorati tags to your site page. If you use blogger, then using a third-party platform to post with makes your life a little easier. I think the performancing firefox extension is pretty cool because you can post to just about any blog platform from your browser.

    I find using Technorati Tags very useful. It brings in a lot of visitors. If, like Sarah, you worry about bleeding visitors through the links, try the good ol' Target="blank" option.

    Technorati tags help a lot. An interesting new addition to the Technorati toolkit is the ability to identify your favorite blogs. They now have a Top 100 Favorite Blogs list. It is still new, so you only need to get about 20 friends to add you to their "Favorite Blog List" ( http://technorati.com/pop/blogs/?faves=1 ) and you will get onto a nice high traffic page.

    If anyone is interested in making my blog a favorite it is www.deepmarket.com - let me know your blog!

    tx,

    spore looks indeed very promising

    I guess Spore Gameplay Video on google is some kind of viral marketing thing.

    Not for me - I have been waiting for Spore since SimLife...

    No other bloggers looking to trade favorites on Technorati?

    If you don’t want to install any programs there are some sites that let you create Technorati tags. Then all you have to do is past the html code. Don’t forget to ping after you insert the tags.
