So, I was looking at our Technorati account today and I noticed that we just broke the 1000 barrier, with a current ranking of 982. So according to Technorati, we are the 982nd ranked blog out of the 57 million blogs that Technorati tracks. Brian Pinkerton, Technorati’s director of search, recently did a great write-up on how Technorati counts blog links and calculates their ranking.
Of course a much more exclusive club, is the Technorati 100, which represents the top dogs of the blogosphere.
If you have a blog, then chances are that you are being tracked by Technorati. If you haven’t already, you should claim your blog, which will allow you to provide some additional information about your blog listing in Technorati’s search results. If your blog is not showing up in Technorati at all, you’ll need to make sure that you are properly pinging them.
Like FeedBurner’s FeedCount, the Technorati link count and ranking system is great for stats junkies like myself, providing additional motivation to continue posting interesting stuff, to keep existing readers, while gaining new ones.

Great work, Scott. You earned it – and it won’t stop here!
Nice post. I am just getting started and using Technorati is still tough for me to understand. While the ranking is straightforward, I am a bit fuzzy on the (2,895 links from 1,048 blogs). The 2895 links pointing to your URL, are most of those generated from links left after you comment on other blogs?(basically, your legwork?) And for the 1048 blogs, does this denote the number of people who have marked you with a live bookmark or attached your blog to their newsreader? Sorry about the dumb questions, just am unsure.thanks~rick
Technorati can be very useful but thier support really needs work. It is very hard to get a hold of them when something is wrong with the way they list your blog, or your blog not showing up.
