Climbing the Technorati rankings.

Today, for no particular reason, I checked my Technorati ranking. The first time I checked, it was 8,155. That is my blog was ranked 8,155^th out of all the hundred and fifty six million plus blogs in the world (as of February 2011). Pretty good, I thought. Later, I checked back and discovered that I had risen to 7,915^th in the world. This means that my blog is in the top one out of 19,709 blogs - or in the top 99.995%. That seems pretty exclusive to me.

My Technorati Authority is now 403. This means that 403 blogs have linked to me in the last six months (at least that is my understanding of what this means). My Entertainment Authority now stands at 449, and my ranking on entertainment blogs is 810^th. My Books Authority is 569 and I am ranked 214^th in the world for all blogs that concern themselves with books.

Now, I am pleasantly surprised at these rankings. They mean that, in the almost five years that I have been writing my blog, it has become accepted, by many, as both authoritative and worth reading. What is more gratifying about this is that people find my blog through active searching and by recommendation: no-one reads a blog unless they want to, for a blog is something found through active searches.

Thank you to all my readers for reading. Don’t forget, that if you like a particular blog entry, please link to it, to share it with those you know. Of course, you could also tell other people about the blog. Thank you.

A "Green" blog, on Technorati.

Today, I checked Technorati, to see what its assessment of my blog was. I was both surprised and pleased at what I found.

Apparently, my blog is thought of as a Green blog, in the sense of environmentally concerned. I have a Green Authority of 88, as of today and I am placed at 2,544 on the list of all blogs in the world with a Green theme. That, to me, seems quite a good placing, considering that I only write about Green themes, occasionally and not each and every day, as some Green blogs do.

As an overall assessment, my blog today has a Technorati Authority of 92 and a placement at 27,851 out of all the world's blogs. Again, that is surprisingly good considering how many blogs there are in the world. (Note: according to Wikipedia, there were 156 million public blogs, by February 16th 2011). My blog is accounted, by Technorati, to be in the top 0.0178 %. That is it is 1 in 5,601.

Technorati comes to these assessments by monitoring the linking activity of the whole of the internet in response to a blog. So, my "Green Authority", for instance, comes from the response of the Green community in the blogosphere, and the internet in general, to my blog postings. So, too, for my Technorati Authority: it measures how the internet is responding to my blog posts.

In a way, it is helpful to learn this, from Technorati, since it tells me what I am doing well and how I am affecting the wider world. Without such a monitoring tool, it would be very difficult to know one's impact on the wider world. The only clues I have, other than that, are comments on my blog and my traffic data.

Thank you to all my readers and, in particular those who are linking to my posts. It is heartening to come to understand that my words are having an effect, somehow, somewhere, or at least, some influence.
