David L. Sifry, founder and CEO of Technorati, keeps tabs on more than 45 million weblogs. Here's his advice for cracking his site's Top 100 list.
1) React quickly. Commentators like Andrew Sullivan and Michelle Malkin draw megatraffic with immediate rebuttals to A-list pundits at The New York Times and Fox News.
2) Make your posts easy to read. Italian comic Beppe Grillo broke into the Top 10 by setting his key points in boldface.
3) Link, link, link! It's counter-intuitive, but the busiest blogs in Technorati's index are those like Insta-Pundit.com that link prolifically to other sites. Linking works because most bloggers reciprocate by sending their readers your way.
4) Optimize for search engines. Put the name of your blog (even if it's just your own name) in the main URL and the title tag of your site. On Technorati, identify your blog with search topics, like "politics" or "sewing."
5) Post, post, post! Chinese actress and director Xu Jinglei has the most popular blog on the planet. At first we thought it was a glitch in our system, but it turns out she's a real-world celebrity who makes time to post almost every day. What's your excuse?

Some great tips there.
I'd be interested to know if any of the bloggers on Fashionising have ever received traffic from Technorati? Looking over our own statistics, it doesn't seem to be the case.

I've had fashion PR people contact me and a lot of them have said they found me on Technorati. I don't think Technorati is as important in the fashion blogging industry as the tech/gadget one, but I think it still helps.
