Climbing the greasy pole of Technorati rankings

I’m wondering if an additional layer of grease is added as you approach the 100,00 mark on the Technorati rankings pole? My travel blog has been sitting just outside the 100,ooo Technorati blog rankings for some time. Today I’ve reached the highest ever Technorati ranking of 101,381. It seems that the higher that you climb in the rankings, the harder it is to move up. In early May my travel blog was siting at around 257,00 with 19 links, another one link took me up 10,000 to a ranking of 247,000. Now when I get another link it only counts for an increase of around 2,000.
Now I don’t think that one should be obsessive about rankings. I try to concentrate on keeping writing quality content for my travel blog. It’s just that every time you log in to a Wordpress blog, the Technorati links come up in the right hand margin, so you do end up seeing them a lot.
I have to say I think I’ve done well to achieve this ranking in under a year. I started my travel blog in late October in 2006. Hopefully the blog will be in the top 100,000 by it’s first birthday. However no room for complacency, I must keep up with the blog slog.
What’s been your experience of climbing the rankings?
Update 14/9/07
Made it into the top 100,000 with 60 links now sitting around 95,000.
