		<description>Hey - very nice finding... this is yet another metrics to go into the site valuations - I assume Rand&#039;s PS as well as many others will adopt this metric to the overall &quot;link valuation&quot; formular pretty soon (and so will we)

cheers,

		<description>Hmm..this is interesting. I&#039;ve just checked 2 of my blogs at Technorati and arrive at the same conclusion as yours. Authority should refers to the no. of inbound links to your blog / site.</description>

		<description>Yes it is late. :)

T-rati does discount some theme and widget links, like in the case of Pearson and Perfomancing. Maybe it has to be a ridiculously large number... punished for too much success, perhaps? ;)</description>

		<description>Oh my, we are both late Brian :). I agree with you by the way. You&#039;d think Technorati would discount a certain number of consistently patterned links, but I suspect that will happen soon enough.</description>

		<description>Hi Rand, this is a list of blogs, therefore a subdirectory URL for SEOmoz is appropriate just like it is for Matt Cutts.</description>

		<description>Yep... and it obviously worked well for me with Tubetorial. I wasn&#039;t being critical, I&#039;m just saying that Technorati doesn&#039;t seem to be consistent.</description>

		<description>Brian, like Pronet&#039;s WP theme links, OMB gets quite a few links because of our widgets. It is what it is - marketing.</description>

		<description>Hey Lee, what&#039;s up with the subdirectory use on SEOmoz? The authority is normally 4247 (which I think is just the number of unique blogs linking in). They used to show two numbers - total number of links and links from unique domains, but now the &quot;authority&quot; number is the same as the old &quot;unique domains&quot; number.</description>

		<description>Looks like they stopped discounting theme and widget links for the top 100, at least in select cases. Both Pronet and Tubetorial made the Top 100 based in large part on linkbacks from free WP themes, but Chris Pearson&#039;s Pearsonified is still excluded for the massive linkage her gets from Cutline in WP.com, as is Performancing with all those links from Performancing for Firefox. A bit arbitrary.</description>

		<description>[...] As you can see Technorati has changed around the individual blog profile page completely, adding a screenshot of your blog as well as your most recent &#8220;fans&#8221; (rather than &#8220;people who favorited&#8221;). The most notable change, however, is obviously the addition of &#8220;Authority&#8221; in the blog profile page. Instead of listing your rank on your profile page (although you can see your rank when viewing the total blog linkbacks page) they show your &#8220;authority&#8221; - mine is 609 at the moment. Lee Odden has posted up some other - more high authority - blogs in a nifty little list . [...]</description>
