I have been looking at my stats on my 2 most popular blogs and I have found that about 10% of my readers are clicking out of my site on my technorati tags that I put in from using my performancing tool. I don't want this. I want them to click on adds or something similar. I guess I could put an aff link next to something that says technorati tag but...
(jj)
I am having good success gaining traffic from technorati so I don't want to get rid of it but what I am wondering is there a plugin or something that would tag my blog post without providing the link?

they are clicking for a reason
Perhaps you should analyze what specific tags are being clicked and consider why. You could try and optimize your ads for those specific keywords to try and make them more relevant so your users want to click on them, instead of the technorati tags.
You might be able to learn a lot about your user's preferences by which tags they click. Don't be so quick to throw that data away.
Also, links are for clicking
Also, links are for clicking right?
I'm just about to turn off my technotags
I use a plug-in whose name I can't quite remember right now, but it requires an edit to the template to add the tags to the blog. I'm going to keep the tags in the RSS feed to keep technorati happy, but I've just finished adding instead Jerome's Keywords tagging thing for WordPress, so tonight I'll replace the Technorati tags with the keywords, which link to internal pages for more of the same topic.
Ken, you nailed it!
That's exactly what I did on my site with a Textpattern keyword solution. Keywords create rel="tag" and a link with a clean URL to an internal search result page which shows the excerpts from the found articles. The success is overwhelming.

And the homepage of sankt-georg.info looks nice as graph too :-)
Hmmm.
If I remember correctly, there's a way to post invisible technorati tags in your post.. You might want to search on their faq..
Here's a link that explains it..

Personally, I've never used those tags.. I tried a few times, but all I got are a few additional hits per day.. (less then 10).
