People go there to see how many others have linked to you and sometimes to see your profile.

Thanks for pointing me to OnlyWire, I hadn't noticed their services before, that makes it much easier to handle.

Also, I have found that 'social bookmarking tools' are a huge benefit to increasing readership. I use OnlyWire to automatically post to about a dozen, including del.icio.us, Furl, ma.gnolia and Spurl. OnlyWire can be a little buggy, and you can't toggle back and forth between several OnlyWire accounts (though the OnlyWire people have told me they're developing auto-signout to take care of that), but it beats saving in a dozen separate services. Finally, ping like mad. Some services allow you to drop all the services in so they're automatically pinged. If you don't have that, you can use a service like www.pingoat.com, which pings about 50 services around the globe.

I've wondered about how Technorati dependent a site should become. I'm addicted to my Technorati rankings, but haven't noticed a large increase in traffic when Technorati tags are implemented. Of course, Technorati is growing fast, so maybe I should just bear with it. Great post. I’ve wondered about how Technorati dependent a site should become.

I'll be the first to admit that I don't use the tags 100% of the time either. I do try and use them in "important" posts that I want people to read though. Thanks JKE.

As for tagging the entries, I tried a WP plug-in (ultimate tag warrior) but got tired of adding tags all the time + didn't have the time yet to fully implement it in my blog. Guess I will do so soon, so thx for reminding... Congratulations on your first & interesting post on GV!
