He posted about Technorati and being added as a favorite. It dawned on me that I’d never pegged Lee’s site as one of my Technorati Favorites even though I’ve been reading his blog for over a year now! I think at that point a blog deserves to be a Favorite.

One of the Technorati widgets appears at the bottom of every page, and I used to also use their recent posts widget - I am going to be switching to an RSS feed but haven't decided which RSS plugin to standardise on yet.

The point of my post relates to Topseos.com--ranking the success of the many kick-*ss consultants has me a little curious about this kid's insight about what knowledge he has on the success of campaigns run by the firms listed. Not that the list is accurate or not, but my Fortune 500 clients have extremely different perspectives, and the successs of a campaign, for various brands is evaluated differently in based upon the board room--no matter how much our staff tries to influence them about core competencies (rsults). I'm not trying to de-legitimize the efforts of Topseos.com, but online marketing (not just seo comrades) is subjective to the client, let alone an outdsider lacking the specific campaign analytics and bottom line results. When SEMreportcard.com launches (April now), we will base our critique not only on baseline realities, but will include input of each company's interactive marketing management when possible. The fun starts when... well, you'll see and understand I am a huge fan Lee, and devout subscriber (sorry semreportcard.com hasn’t launched yet, we’ve nailed down the criteria but client management has been eating all my time).

There are two lists: "Favorites" and "Popular". We are 90-something on the "Favorites" list and 263 or so on the "Popular" list. A lot of the links for the popular list come from people using our RSS button tool on their blog. BTW, you're in our queue for review on the Search Marketing Blogs list update either this Fri or next. Thanks Kevin! There are two lists: “Favorites” and “Popular”.

Not everyone knows about Technorati favorites. How do you know your blog was not in our queue to review? There's no double standard here. I have no interest in link exchanges and do not add any blogs to our list unless we feel they pass some very simple criteria. Complaining isn't going to help.

But now it's a bit tricky, b/c it's hard to favorite a blog that leaves your own blog (that your staff works hard to produce) off the list week after week. Plus, this whole post is about asking for favorites, yet others cannot request the same of you? Not trying to start something here, buddy, just comes across as double standard, that's all.
