How To Find Technorati Tag Pages With PageRank

This post describes how to find Technorati tag pages that have PR. I would like to point out that if a tag page does not have PR it does not mean that it wouldn't be valuable to get a link from it. Tags that are becoming popular (trends) and tags with a large list of "blogosphere posts" (volume) are also valuable. But of course, having PR makes it that much more valuable.

Here are the steps:

First, install the SEOQuake Plugin for Firefox. Get it here -> http://www.seoquake.com/

Next, you want to make sure it's on. The icon in the bottom right corner of your browser will indicate whether it's on or off. See the image below.



I like to just turn it on as I need it, then turn it off afterwards because it seems to hog resources or have a memory leak or something. If I keep it on throughout the day for regular browsing, I end up having to reboot my machine.

Go to Google.com and change your settings to allow for 100 results per page. That option is under "Advanced Search".

Now do a Google search for:

{niche} site:http://technorati.com/tag/
- of course, replace {niche} with a keyword or phrase

Near the top you will see some sort options. You'll probably have a lot more than me. Find PR and click the down arrow like in the image below.



Now the list of tag pages will have the highest PR near the top. You'll find that some of the tags aren't necessarily related to your niche. That's because there the word or phrase you chose happened to be within a "blogosphere post" the last time Google crawled the tag page. Try different keywords to see what you come up with.

You can now create a list of the tag pages that you are interested in and send them over to me. If you want, you can check to see if the tag has already been taken by someone else. Find out how in this post: How To Find Out If A Tag Page Is Available
