Since Technorati has established its name in blogging world, people who are searching for some blogs related to your blog might also find your blog. This might increase your traffic.

I have submitted 2 urls but have not figured out how to make it really work for me

I have two blogs. One is listed in Technorati and one not. I hope it help but at the moment I can't see any difference. I am trying to see difference between them to undeerstand if Technorati really help. I am not sure.

Technorati is a site that allows you to add your blog into their list of blogs, kind of like a directory. Once your blog is added, you can add a small code to it and people can add you to their technorati favorites. You will also be able to add them to yours. You get more exposure because you blog will be there for everyone to see and most people that put you into their technorati favorites, will visit your blog often. Technorati favorites is like a favorites button that you bookmark your favorite sites with, instead of this, you will be bookmarking your favorite blogs. You can also add a code to your blog so that you can have your favorites at your finger tips. I have been dealing with Technorati for a while and I love it. Once people add you to their favorites, they can also receive a small feed on Technorati that shows them your resent post. I check my technorati often and if I see a post that one of my favorites has made and I like it, you can be that I am going to go to their blog to read further on it. I hope that this helps you and good luck with your blog.
