So, how does technorati respond to blogroll posts. Someone commented on my blog that they somehow penalize bog the blogs that publish blogroll lists as well as sites that are the recipients. Reading their FAQ I can't find anything on this.

Mike, trying to figure out what Technorati really does is hopeless. There are lots of independently hosted blogs they won't pick up unless claimed. They may not catch a link below the fold. Their algorithms don't match their stated goals and aren't terribly consistent. And if you flip through your blog reactions, you'll notice that the number of them changes as you go.
Don't spend time trying to read the tea leaves that you could use writing. Writing is what'll pay off.

I would like to know more about this. If I am doing damage by putting out the blog roll, I'd stop.
Given that I already use my blog roll to look for current and interesting posts which I comment on and/or point people to, perhaps the blogrolling bit is a waste.
Opinions welcome!!!!
Technorati surely is a mystery.

My view is similar to Stephanie . . . in general, you're best just doing whatever will make your site/blog the best it can be for the readers, and traffic will follow from there. I like when people call attention to their blogrolls just because it sometimes helps me find a gem I was previously unaware of.
