Technorati is seeing success on Google, rarely seem but by a handful.
The success keeps growing bringing in massive traffic.

Is it SEO-Tagging or TrustRank?

Will there be a backlash or penalty?

   Techcrunch says SOMETHING has go to give – too many successfully ranked pages to be of any use to Google's search quality goals.

Scoble suggests it is basically due to quality.

You Decide!

Techcrunch has a pretty interesting and somewhat cynical article about how Technorati is getting Google juice by not excluding their tags results pages, which are essentially search results. They've quickly climbed into the top results for searches like "facebook" and "myspace".

It's a pretty convincing argument, considering that even Google excludes YouTube tag results from getting indexed. But will Google or Technorati take any action? It seems like Technorati doesn't really have an incentive to change anything.
