One of the top travel blogs on Technorati
I knew about Technorati so last week on Saturday I was curious to see the top travel blogs. Three blogs from BoardingArea made the top 10 list and I felt privileged that my blog is here too.
However, a blog about insurance drew my attention. It was on the position 8 and I thought why not ‘Insurance is related to travel and it is an important aspect of travelling, very important I might add, but better to have insurance and never to be put in a position to find out how important it was.’
But big surprise when I navigated to the site, articles with titles like: ‘Cordless Roman Shades has been tip choices for homeowners’, ‘More Good Collection Of Yoga Mat Bags’, etc. And the English the articles are written in does not make sense.
There is no one month is not heard of some young children strangle themselves blind wired. It is a shame because it’s a solution so simple. For most blind-technology has been a time for Roman shades, this is the first year the option is available.
Roman Shades are safe for young children to play. What relief to know that their children and grandchildren will not be tempted by a rope hanging there for them to torture.
These guys are very good at Search engine optimization (SEO) if they could make the site be among the top 10 travel blogs. Perhaps Technorati should update their algorithm.
Today Feb. 13 the site went to position 20 but still.
All the other blogs seem to be bona-fide travel blogs, I wonder how this one made it among top 100, let alone top 20, but it seems that the SEO techniques do really work.
What’s SEO? We’re not all industry experts here…
thanks.

SEO is ‘Search engine optimization’ and I updated the post also with a link to Wikipedia where it is explained.
Thank you for pointing it out, I dislike it too when people use acronyms and they assume everyone know what they mean.
I did not delete the @Map My Trip comment on purpose. ‘Backlinking’ is one of the SEO techniques: blogs comments, forum posting, etc. and the link (backlink) points to a website. However, it is time consuming to make relevant comments so some text vaguely connected to the post is used. Or sometimes the comment does not have anything to do with the post. In both cases it is spam. However, I’ve seen much worse than @Map My Trip, at least their site is travel related.
Thanks for the explanation and the link!
I agree when the content does not match the title of the blog that is like spamming the web for marketing purposes. It does not help the user looking for the content to find the correct item to find online
