Michael at That Says It All has started a technorati chain. He is hoping to help not only himself, but everybody who adds a link in the chain get their Technorati Ranking up.

Start Copy Here

Here are the rules:

1. Favorite the blogs you see below.
2. Copy from where it says “Start Copy Here” and stop where it says “End Copy Here” (I know that’s obvious) and paste it in a post on your blog.
3. Add your blog’s name and your Technorati Favorite link next to it like you see below.
4. Once you have done numbers 1 thru 3, leave me comment telling me so and a link to your post. I will then fave your blog and add your link to my chain which will appear on the front page each week.

End Copy Here

According to Lifehack.org, step #6 is to add your blog to 9Rules. I have mixed feeling about this step, particularly after Marcus at My Thoughts was accused by 9Rules of spamming when he was actually trying to get his site registered. You can read his full account at My Thoughts . I then went to 9rules myself to see what was going on. I read their about page and checked out a couple of listings. Everything seemed okay although I felt they were a bit vague in what their function was. Are they a dirctory, a forum, what? Well, I decided I would attempt to register and go from there. After clicking on “create my 9r account” I then had to read the About Membership page. Way at the bottom it said the following:
Due to the number of submissions we received, we are no longer accepting submissions at this time. However, we strongly advise signing up for notes and interacting in the community. At this time we are not accepting submissions from those who are not participating within the community. Thank you for your interest.

After reading my way through all of this I was not feeling very welcomed and was not feeling comfortable about registering, so I opted not to. While this was my decision, you may feel totally different about it so check it out for yourself.
