If you have read my last post, I was so triumphant declaring that my goal of hitting of 100 or any three-digit technorati authority would come true. I have to say, I have had an authority of 99 that time, the moment I actually posted my preceeding entry here.

Know what? Just a couple of minutes after, when I refreshed my blog, the technorati authority jumped down to 80 from 99! My Goodness! Honestly, this is NOT the first time that my authority has been jumping down, but this time, it moved down for almost 20 authorities downwards and it was never good for me or for anyone!

Honestly, I do not understand what I have if I have a good authority. All I know is, I love greater authority! Who doesn't anyway? I love numbers indicating good things: from Alexa ranking, google page ranking, any ranking, any authority and specifically, the technorati authority.

I have, in fact, a suspicion why this happens. I usually ping the network if I have found that my authority is static... I do that around every 10 days and it would definitely go up. However, the new increased authority would stay for a day or two and go down really bad. I bet it is better not to Ping technorati anymore and allow it to just update itself rather than being bothered...

I want to hear from your experiences.
1. Did you experience your authority(ies) fluctualting downwards?
2. Do you feel good if you have greater technorati authority (TA)?
3. ANy ideas on what does it indicate i your TA is good or higher?
4. The best answer fo this would receive free 200 ECs from me (provided, at least 12 comments/answers are made here)
