How to Increase Technorati Authority
Your blog's authority ranking on Technorati is a score that measures its relative importance within the blogging community. When other blogs link to yours in a short time frame, your authority increases. However, authority drops over time if your blog stops attracting links. Therefore, you may find it difficult to increase your blog's authority without a concerted effort targeting other blogs listed on Technorati. Increase your blog's authority by looking for blogs on Technorati that allow reader comments and do not append the nofollow tag to links.

Check the link for a "nofollow" tag. A link with a nofollow tag looks like the following:
<a href="http://www.mywebsite.com" rel="nofollow">My Website</a>
A link with a nofollow tag does not contribute directly to Technorati authority. If you see this tag, check the next blog on the list.

Leave comments on blogs that do not use the nofollow tag in comment links. Make sure that each comment you leave contributes to the discussion; a comment that contributes nothing and includes a link to your website may be marked as spam and deleted by the blog owner. Each link to your blog contributes to its authority rating on Technorati.
