Technorati recomputes inbound links.

I recently logged on to my Technorati account and found the inbound links of several of my blogs have changed (increased) dramatically. My blog here and PTB got the highest increase so far.

Adam Hertz of Technorati posted an explanation on their blog:

For URL search, we’ve been looking closely at how we calculate the number of links and sources pointing to a blog, and we’ve made some tweaks to the display to better surface recent blog activity. Technorati now displays the total number of links from blogs over the last 6 months. Up until now, we displayed a count of all links from blog homepages, which tended to weight more highly blogs that have been around for a long time, even if they have not been posting recently.

The change affects how Technorati ranks its over 18.5 million blogs. Our new link counts expose more active blogs and rising stars, allowing readers to discover blogs currently receiving the attention of the blogosphere.

If you’re still unfamiliar with how Technorati works, it basically determines a blog’s ranking based on the number of links from unique blogs over the last 6 months. If John links to Susie 5 times in 5 months Technorati will count 5 new links to Susie from 1 unique source. Susie’s rank will change based on this 1 new source.

The last time I checked and posted the Technorati rankings here was over 6 weeks ago. Now, here’s what I got:

Houseonahill.net: Rank# 1,707 (1,248 links from 407 sites)
PinoyBlog: Rank # 2,163 (783 links from 348 sites)

Hi David,

Yes, I believe the new counts are close to the real thing. I am also seeing less and less “server busy” notices whenever I do search on Technorati.

I hope you’ve added enough servers already to give it more umph. Thanks for passing by. :)

Wilson,

Aha! Just found out about it. :D Thanks for the props!
