Technorati Graphs and Charts

Just a quick post this am about one of the common questions that came up during Media Relations Summit. It was a question about how to now find the Technorati graphs that show incoming links. I guess a lot of people don’t trust or feel comfortable with Technorati’s “Authority Score” which is a bit like the Google Page Rank score given in the Google tool bar.

The way to generate a graph of inbound links to a particular blog, is to use the following URL where you replace “www.blogaddress.com” with the blog URL you’re interested in:

http://www.technorati.com/chartimg?q=www.blogaddress.com
&days=60&width=420&height=200&type=url
(url is broken to 2 lines)

For example, to create the graph image above, I used the following URL:
http://www.technorati.com/chartimg?q=www.toprankblog.com
&days=180&width=420&height=200&type=url
(url is broken to 2 lines)

Another interesting Technorati charting tool shows phrase use in blog posts over time:
http://www.technorati.com/chart/keyword

Here’s an example using my name:
http://technorati.com/chart/lee%20odden

You can also find out what specific blog posts are linking to a blog by typing in a blog url in the “blogs only” Technorati search:
http://search.technorati.com/

Here’s an example using Online Marketing Blog: http://search.technorati.com/toprankblog.com
Then you can sort by Freshness or Authority

Of course you can also find out what sites (blogs and web pages/sites) link to a blog by using the Yahoo Site Explorer tool
https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com

Here’s an example to check how many links there are to Online Marketing Blog:
https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/search?p=www.toprankblog.com
&bwm=i&bwmo=d&bwmf=s
(url is broken to 2 lines)
You can check links to a whole domain or just to a specific page.

As more and more company marketing and PR teams realize the value of blogs as communication and advertising tools, there will be an increased need to find ways to better qualify which blogs have influence and reach from those that do not.

    As you said Technorati’s “Authority Score” is as important as google page rank. I agree with you.

    By the way you blog is listed in my top alexa rank blog list.

    Cheers

    I think that this is a very interesting post. I don’t think I even noticed the charts before. I like the other way better and am not too fond of the authority score, but I will deal with it.

    Hi, this is good. I have fav you in Technorati.
    I like to learn about SEO. Doing a course now and goal is to get #1 Google by next week.
    Backlinks are hard 2 get. Read about linkbait, link ninja, etc. One guy charges US$5000 upfront for linkbait, which is crazy!
    What can ordinary, small bloggers do?

    This is great fun! I spent more time on this today then on all google tools together for the last week! Reminds me to look in the technorati kitchen more frequently.
    Thanks for the info.

    Hello,
    First time I visit your blog and I find very interesting articles, specially this one, very detailed information. Technorati Graphs and Charts are really useful. It seems that graphics are always a better way to appreciate numbers.

    […] Technorati ha explicado en su blog como se pueden encontrar los gráficos que muestran links recibidos. Han remarcado que muchos usuarios pueden no sentirse cómodos con el “Authority Score” ya que es parecido al Page Rank de Google dado en la barra de herramientas de Google. […]
