If you look at your name on the left of your post comment, its a link back to your website is it not?" No. It isn't a discussion being documented by Technorati. First off, it isn't a "trackback". There's no response to this blog entry on the other side. It's nothing more than a link to my blog's front page. Second, Technorati *isn't* scraping that link because it's not on the front page here. So even if it *were* linking back to a response (part of the discussion, or "conversation" as Technorati defines it), there'd still be no documentation of this conversation. In addition, it isn't being added to my Technorati ranking (nor should it be). So basically its only use is for your visitors... and their use of it is *not* recorded by Technorati. - "Well I cant complain as its a free service and they do track 55 million blogs." Actually, you could complain. While it's a "free" service, it's a business that's making money off of your labor (you might remember Regine's problems last year - http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/008634.php - "I have the same problem and just reciently deleted all the feeds I have not read in the lase 6th months!" hahaha. All-you-can-eat can be difficult to digest. - "congrats on your retainer" Thanks. But that ended on 01 Jan (and I declined another project - too many hours/week). Now on to other things. “Well it is!

No. It isn’t a discussion being documented by Technorati.

First off, it isn’t a “trackback”. There’s no response to this blog entry on the other side. It’s nothing more than a link to my blog’s front page.
