Changing Your Site's Thumbnail Image In Technorati

UPDATE: Okay here is the New Post on how to

Update your Site's Thumbnail Image in Technorati

UPDATE: Technorati is changing the way the thumbnail images on the site are done. They will no longer be using the Alexa images. This method with still obviously work to change your Alexa thumbnail though. Stay tuned for an updated post with the new Technorati thumbnail information.

After browsing around technorati and visiting many sites, I noticed that quite a few were drastically different from the thumbnail image shown at technorati. I knew that my thumbnail was outdated and it bothered me a bit every time I saw it. So I decided to figure out why this was occuring and how to change it. Now this may seem like a small detail to you, but I do feel it can make an impact on traffic. If this was a problem for you and my fix below helps you out let me know.

Well here is what I found.

I have been trying to boost my Alexa ranking and so have been visiting Alexa on a regular basis lately. I noticed that the site image that was on Alexa was the same as that on Technorati. I updated the thumbnail at Alexa and it updated the thumbnail at Technorati. Apparently Technorati uses the site thumbnails from Alexa. Here is the link for where to update your thumbnail at Alexa.

later all and have a profitable and productive blogging day

Thanks a bunch for this useful info, mate! It used to bother me for a while now that my thumbnail didn't reflect the redesign of my blog :)

P.S.: Check your title! There's a spelling mistake hidden inside ;)

What the F Does the C Stand 4

I know all of you have been waiting with baited breathe for my first contest. Well we are taking the plunge together. Here is the chance for all of you to win something for doing almost nothing. Hopefully you won't think this Contest is full of Sh-t . For many many years I have had the "nickname," I guess you could call it, of Cman. Here lately, probably due in part to #10 in my 10 Reasons John Chow Probably Thinks This Blog Is About Him article, I have been getting asked more and more what the C in Cman stands for. Herein lays the focus of this contest. For the person who can guess what the C in Cman stands for I will give them $100. If multiple people guess correctly the winner will be chosen by random drawing from among the correct entries. If no one guesses correctly I will randomly pick from all entries and will award the winner of the losers $20. Clarification: 1.

Win $50! With The Stripping Aristologist - Contest

NOTE: Due to personal illness I have not been available and therefore have extended the contest through October 31st @ 4:00 PM CST. Well the September Contest is finally here. I have been pretty much MIA for a little over a week to take care of some offline "stuff." By the way, it is nigh on impossible to blog by cell phone. I am back now though and getting into the groove again and felt like giving something away! The contest rules are simple. Of course I can't make them totally idiot proof, last month proved that :), because there will always be some "brilliant" idiot that makes it through all the idiot proofing in place. That said here it is. Oh and read everything before doing anything :) . The Contest Guess my favorite Gourmet Chef . You don't even have to be right to win!
