Technorati Button

Well it’s a month later from when I posted last about the Technorati Button. I said I would post today about the benefits or lack of benefits it had on my site.

For a month I had its button in my sidebar, and on the top right of every post. Benefits? None. My number of fans went up by a big fat 1. My authority, actually went down, though I believe that will change very soon. The authority is based on blogs linking into you, and though Technorati has not see it yet, that number has been rising rapidly for me just in the past few days due to my release of the Twitter Toolbar.

So, the advantages of having a Technorati Button, at least on this site? None. Buttons are now gone, and so is their distractions.
