IceRocket, Technorati, BlogPulse & Feedster

Though I have been using Technorati for a while now to run some relevant blog searching (just checking who have been linking to me or mentioned me in their blog that I did not know of), I checked out several others just to compare them based on search results for my blog.

Results for Sites Linked to:

Technorati: 82 links from 62 sites (Rank: 27,130)

IceRocket: 36 links from 26 blogs

BlogPulse
: 114 links

Feedster: 75 links

Though BlogPulse found the most number of inbound links, they were not measured by unique blogs so you’d get multiple link counts from one blog. IceRocket was able to track both the incoming links and the source blogs but they were less than half of what Technorati found.

Technorati seems to be doing very well in terms of coverage and tracking. The ranking system is also a good measure how your blog stands in the blogosphere. I’m hoping more features are added to these services.

The dynamic “Linking Post” feature is a Link Tracker plugin from IceRocket and can be found here. It automatically displayed the number of blogs linking to your blog entry, sort of a trackback count. What’s funny though is that this post just got 7,069 inbound Links. Something is missing here.

    Technorati has been one the first in this game, and they’ve been doing particularly well in providing coverage. I wouldn’t be surprised if they get gobbled up by some big search company like google or yahoo. Maybe any day now, but that’s just a wild guess.

    One of the owners of Icerocket is Marc Cuban, who owns the NBA’s Dallas Mavericks, his blog is www.blogmaverick.com, hosted by weblogsinc. Which is the company of Jason Calacanis, who placed that $10k bounty on anybody who can make a better blog site ranking tool than technorati… small world :-)

    Total number of links is irrelevant. These tools are about finding new links, not 2 yr old links.
