More From Adam Hertz on Technorati Link Counts
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Adam demonstrates that Technorati actually has access to historical link counts for the blogs it tracks:
Stowe,
We ran the calculations on your historical counts -- that is, the total number of links to your blog that we have in our databases.
The results: A total of 2817 links from 757 unique inbound sources.
-A-
As I said the other day, I believe that this information -- the long-tail, cumulative link count -- is much more important than the current link count that Technorati provides, which is more of a hit parade, short term approach. In general, if I go to Technorati I would like to see a measure of authority tied to the blogs -- which is a long tail phenomenon -- as opposed to recent popularity.
