Technorati Rank: I Don't Get This

Email This Entry

Posted by Stowe Boyd

Technorati ranks all the blogs that it tracks, so it shouldn't be possible that two blogs have the same rank, right? Can someone explain this to me:

Dunno. Possibly you have the same number of inbound links from equally important blogs.

Just a guess.

We also get "tie" ranks in the PubSub LinkRank system. I don't think this is really a problem in the Technorati system. Such ties are probably inevitable in most systems that aren't completely arbitrary.

The rank is based on ordering by the number of front-page links from distinct blogs. Naturally 2 blogs can have the same number of these, and thus the same rank.

The rank basically tells you how many blogs have more links than you.
