  • What is Technorati Authority?

    Written by admin on July 1, 2008 – 7:34 pm

    Most of us know what Alexa Ranking is. However a somewhat more mysterious concept is Technorati Authority and Technorati Ranking.

    Basically Technorati is one of the web’s leading portals for finding blogs and blog articles. Technorati has its own method of ranking blogs and the two important concepts are:

    1. Technorati Authority

    Higher is Better

    Technorati Authority is the number of blogs which link to your blog in the last 6 months. Therefore the higher the number of incoming links, the better it is for you.

    Note that Technorati measures the number of blogs rather than the number of links. If a blog links to you many times it still counts as 1 vote. But a new link (even from the same blog) means that the vote will last another 180 days.

    Another indicator, the Technorati Top 100 shows the most popular 100 blogs based on Technorati Authority. The No 1 blog is the one with the most other distinct blogs linking to it in the last 6 months.

    2. Technorati Ranking

    Lower is Better

    Technorati Rank is calculated based on how far you are from the top. The blog with the hightest Technorati Authority becomes the No. 1 ranking blog. So the lower your Technorati Rank, the closer you are to the top.

    So what is the No 1 blog in terms of Technorati Authority?

    Well as at the date of writing, it is American Internet newspaper Huffington Post (which currently has Alexa Ranking of 568 and Google PR 7). Renowned “problogger” Darren Rowse stands at a respectable No 23 with a Technorati Authority score of 7,784 compared with Huffington Post’s score of 26,553.

    So there you go… Technorati rankings explained in a nutshell.
