If you saw my post about how I set up this blog in 58.8 seconds, then you are probably thinking of starting your own blog. Fantastic! Blogs are perfect for establishing you or your business as thought leaders, and even though there are a ton of them out there, I fully encourage it.
Once you start your blog, you'll want to get some followers - "build it and they will come" does not apply here. You are fighting for mind share against millions of others in the blogosphere. One well known way to attract potential followers is to claim your blog on Technorati. Technorati is a search engine for blogs, and they have indexed over 110 million blogs!
Claiming your blog involves putting the blog's URL in their database, and then posting your claim token in a blog post (e.g., XW53TBZ6CQH9). You then verify that claim token, and your blog will be included in their search tool.
Will it be seen? Hard to say. I believe the quality and frequency of your content will be as much a driver as anything else, but if you disagree, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
