Thanks to the enormous success of the ongoing Technorati Favorites Exchange programs that have been sweeping across the blogosphere for the last week, not only have I increased the number of people who have put azazil.net in their technorati favorites list by almost 400%, I’ve also picked up an enormous number of backlinks. As a pleasant side effect, that has meant my overall ranking has climbed almost 150,000 places! The exchange schemes are already very well established at dozens of sites, and with only a few hours spent clicking through the lists of blogs in the comments of the sites that I’ve listed in my original post, your blog can also be climbing the rankings in a similar fashion!

Some of the participating sites have broken into the technorati 100 most favorite blogs list already, which has raised the number of favs required to get on the list to 123 when I last checked. But the exchange is gaining momentum every day as more people join in, so I’m hoping to make the top 100 list myself in another week or so.

It does appear that Technorati is having some issues at the moment, possibly in part, because of the current wave of favouriting. As a result the overall rank of my site has been stuck for the last 24 hours despite a continuing influx of backlinks. Hopefully, Technorati will pick up my support request soon and I’ll start climbing the ranks again.

In the mean time, if you have a blog, and you haven’t started exchanging favourites yet: What are you waiting for?
