Hey Technorati My Authority is not getting updated! Blogroll

Chapter 1 Technorati wacks Blogrolling, the rest of us are just Collateral Damage
Chapter 2 Hey Technorati My Authority is not getting updated! Blogroll
Chapter 3 String Theory and Technorati Forum Edicate

To recount our first chapter Technorati wacks Blogrolling, the rest of us are just Collateral Damage you will recall the issue of javascript blogrolls, this issue still remains outstanding, YES Technorati did extract these links before the May 4th "Update" look at any of he blogs' authority pages that have links that number in the hundreds and thousands and you will see the blogroll clusters. The truth Laid bear's Blogosphere Ecosystem still counts them, however if your host supports php you should grab that code for your blogrolls, Blogrolling supplies it's feeds in this format, i see many other issue exist as well My Authority is not getting updated but enough history, back to the future.

as suggested by alanp (Alan Patrick) the code in the text box below contains links for all the posters to the My Authority is not getting updated! thread. They are "fortified" with your keywords from Technorati so they should serve as good search engine fodder as well.

Technorati specifies that the life cycle for their authority links are 180 day so you may "repeat as necessary."



this should produce the following:

Smooth Stone, laketrees, Southern Sass on Crime, Smashed Frog, This Eclectic Life, Gentle and Compassionate, Faultline USA, Webtalks, The Augmented Reality, Divorced Dads Matter, Popular Fiction, Republican National Convention Blog NYC 2004, Love and Terrorism, Hi3B附設Blog, Anil Gupte's Video Blog, A Billion Monkeys Can’t Be Wrong, Threat Assessment and Management, The Preachers Wife, Amberwood Ambrosia, TIBET DZI BEADS, A Yoga Coffee Outlook, broadstuff, buensancho, Pilates & Reiki In Paradise Blog, Lines from a Floating Life, Getting Out of Debt, not the most elegant but it's authority 25+1, counting your link.

Blogrolling also supplies a rss feed that will produce raw html that is readable by all searchbots. This requires the use of php to parse your code to html. If your host does not allow this (Blogspot) You may select a template, color scheme and enter blogrolling's rss feed url for the roll to have the feed displayed free of charge by rss2html.com this can then be used on your page in a number of ways if you are comfortable with code you may use or modify templates and css sheets. In the example below i've styled the roll to match my pages.



As with the html code this example is fully crawlable as a free standing page (right click and view source within the frame), but still not readable as an iframe in page. Another swing and a miss, elegant but unsatisfying.

If you care for the standard javascript code for this blogroll here it is.
