When I visit many blogs I see that the author has used Technorati tags in their posts. What is the actual benefit towards using Technorati Tags? In my opinion, the effort seems kind of one sided, meaning bloggers are helping Technorati grow by giving them free backlinks in posts while technorati isn’t returning the favor by either sending traffic back or by offering backlinks back to the blogs that link to them. What is the true benefit (if any) with using Technorati tags?
