"blogeoisie (pronounced bloj-wah-zee)"
How does your other (non ACTIVE RAIN) blog rank? Technorati sees the value of your blog because of the links to your blog. These don't really work with Active Rain. These are more for other blogs.
How much is your blog worth? $$ based on Technorati links
Blog Juice Calculator Based on Technorati, Bloglines, Alexa.....

Is there a feudal system in blogging? Serfs and lords? Are you Blogging Aristocracy? Blogging Bourgeoisie? or Blogging Proletariat? You'd know if you were aristocracy wouldn't you... the crown, people bowing and curtsying in your presence would be a sure give away that you are aristocracy. I always had trouble remember what bourgeoisie and proletariat are...proletariat is the laboring class, the bourgeoisie is the middle class in most societies.... Feudal was agrarian society... the industrial revolution gave us the terms like proletariat and bourgeoisie.
Was Tino Buntic's 2000 Bloggers a way for the serfs or proletariat to revolt? A way to raise our lot in life to become bourgeioisie? Or better? You too can be a blogging queen if enough people link to you?
In The Rise Of The Blogeoisie Sellsius° Blog quotes Bill Thompson in Blog eats blog, The rise of the blogeoisie. (2003) about blogs...
These people are not quite an aristocracy. Perhaps they are simply the blogeoisie (pronounced bloj-wah-zee), a dominant class in network society. Or it may be simpler to think of blogs as a feudal system, with respect and links acting as the chief currency. The peasants toil in the low-rank blogs, paying their tithe in LazyWeb projects to the lords of the link in return for an occasional mention from Hammersley or Searls.
I have to tell you, I don't know the Hammersley's or Searls... I don't even know Bill Thompson.... Thanks Sellsius° Blog guys... I do know Tino Buntic.... I put my photo in the gallery... the rogues gallery it seems. The jigs up. The revolution is over. Technorati is not going to stand for this....
Technorati " We're listening to these concerns. In the same manner in which we decline to index blogs that don't meet our quality criteria (AKA "splogs"), we're loath to indulge these "chain posts" ("pain chosts", ouch). Your voice is the most important one in the blogosphere's distributed conversation. To dissuade chain posts from submerging your voice in their dilutative effects, we've updated our indexing systems on an experimental basis to filter out links of this nature. We all love photo collages of faces; we've had them, albeit on a smaller scale, on the Technorati site since last summer. However, "join us and use these links" memes such as 2000 Bloggers is really a disservice to rank measurement systems and thus this decision to change our indexing policies in that regard."
Darn. I put the 2000 Bloggers link to my new blog, ColumbusBestBlog.com ....While my original blog Discover Columbus blog is plodding along ... on the "Are you an A list Blogger" (based on Technorati) Discover Columbus is still a C List Blogger ... my newer blog achieved B List status in under two months because I did the 2000 Bloggers link... link farm....
Your Results:
With 120 links in the last 180 days, Technorati places http://columbusbestblog.com in the high authority group.
That makes you a B-List Blogger!
In November when I found "Are you an A List Bloglebrity?" the real estate blogs which were B list bloggers were Sellsius° Blog, Grow-a-Brain, The Future of Real Estate Marketing and Rain City Guide. Those were the real estate blogs with authority. I could not find A List Bloggers in the real estate relm. My 5 or 6 week old ColumbusBestBlog.com is certainly not in the league with those blogs... I do not deserve B-list blogger status.

If you put your picture in the 2000 Bloggers collage look up the value / rank/ juice of your blog now before Technorati filters out these links. Put it in your blogging scapbook.... Was it too good to be true? Do we have to write good content and wait and hope to get links from other more powerful blogs to become blogeiosie or a king or queen of blogging?
To borrow a phrase from the St. Paul Queen of blogging "You Betcha."
