If Om and Mike won't link to you, go for a mindless spammer instead.

I have certainly noticed some spam links in my Technorati list (which, by the way, seems broken again, but I'm too weary to try to get it fixed, again).

The other strange thing that happened recently at Technorati is that a ton of old links from Memeorandum starting showing up as new links. I don't even know how that could happen, unless someone starting pulling up old archives and pinging Technorati. But even if you were that link obsessed, you only get one link added to your account per website, so why ping all those old archives?

Anyway, I thought Seth's mini-experiment was pretty interesting.

A decent compromise would be to go for the M-listers – it works in more than one way. As for “old” Memeorandum entries showing up on Technorati, I wonder if it’s yet another manifestation of this problem – or feature? :-)

Sorry for all the crap that showed up in the previous comment, it looked good in preview. (hello .. Google?)
