expertise – publishing original tag articles and blurbs on technorati.com. After a successful beta, bloggers and authors can now write original Wikipedia-style tag articles and reference blurbs and have them appear on Technorati.com tag pages. Tag pages compile content from the blogosphere (posts, photos, videos, blogs) around any tag. A tag article provides an overview of the tag, and the relevance of the tag topic to the blogosphere.</p> <p>For example:</p> <p><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090206143855/http://technorati.com/tag/health">technorati.com/tag/health</a><br/> <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090206143855/http://technorati.com/tag/music">technorati.com/tag/music</a></p> <p>This is a unique opportunity for authors, brands, agencies, experts and content sites with some significant benefits. Your tag article will appear on Technorati.com with a writer credit. You will be seen as the definitive expert on a tag subject – by millions of readers. Your article can include links to useful references and sites, including your own, if relevant, as well as your own byline link. It’s also really easy to contribute: tag articles are only 2-3 paragraphs, between 100 and 200 words, and can live for years as evergreen content.</p> <p>You can also submit additional content and references to Technorati tag pages via Blurbs, which can be added directly on the page. Blurbs also link back to relevant sites or your Technorati profile where readers can see your blogs, other blurbs, watchlists and favorites. To start contributing blurbs, you do need to join Technorati, but you don’t need to be a blogger to join.</p> <p>To start contributing tag articles, sign up at <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090206143855/http://blogcritics.org/become.php/">BlogCritics</a> (or sign up via the tag page itself). </p> <p>Once you’ve received your login, claim the tag for the article you wish to contribute. You can claim an existing tag or create a new one.</p> <p><object id="_ds_3983428" name="_ds_3983428" width="550" height="450" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://web.archive.org/web/20090206143855im_/http://viewer.docstoc.com/"> <param name="FlashVars" value="doc_id=3983428&mem_id=503929&doc_type=ppt&fullscreen=0&showrelated=0&showotherdocs=0&showstats=0 "/> <param name="movie" value="http://viewer.docstoc.com/"/> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/> </object> <br/> <font size="1"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090206143855/http://www.docstoc.com/docs/3983428/tag article blog post images"> tag article blog post images</a> - Get more <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090206143855/http://www.docstoc.com/documents/business/"> Business Documents</a></font> <br/> <br/> When you’re ready to submit your article, here are a few more guidelines:<br/> <br/> Create an informative summary (what is it, what are bloggers saying about it?) – not a sales pitch. Links should lead to other content, not promotional or e-commerce destinations. Most importantly, articles need to be original content to keep the emphasis on fresh content and individual voices.</p> <p>Once you’re signed up to publish on www.technorati.com, you’re also able to publish articles on BlogCritics, our interactive community and a full service news and reviews source. Every week, thousands of writers deliver hundreds of stories: news, opinions, and reviews on music, books, film, TV, pop culture, products, technology, and politics</p> <p><br/> </p> </div> </div>
