The slow slide up the Technorati ranks

Gavin Stewart has an interesting post about the ‘long tail’ of blogs and Technorati rankings. Of course these rankings only measure perma(nent)links to your blog, rather than visits or any of the ‘old’ measures of a website’s popularity. But to confirm his findings – yesterday, with no Technorati links, I was ranked 2,700,000 + change. Today, with one link (from Writing and the Digital Life), I’ve moved up a million places in the rankings. More links please!

  1. Update: Gavin’s ranking moved up about 50,000 places from this post. Sadly as most links to me go to my ‘main’ homepage rather than my blog homepage I suspect I’ll be stuck in the lowly one millions for quite some time!

  2. I suspect some experimentation is in order…let’s all link to each other. :)

  3. What, frivolous linkage? Never, Jess ;)

  4. You’re right, nothing is frivolous in the name of research…right?!!
