Google in Wordpress Dashboard and Technorati Losing?

Published by Jun | Filed under Search Engine, Technorati, Wordpress, Google

I just upgraded some of my blogs from 2.1.x and 2.2.x to latest wordpress version 2.3.1. I have noticed that the Wordpress Dashboard “Incoming Links” at the sidebar has been replaced from Technorati to Google Blog Search.

Maybe the Wordpress Developer is not happy where Technorati is going. The Technorati search results is not that good and it’s losing against Google in Blog Search results. As of this writing the search results of Google returns are far more superior compare to Technorati. When i try searching same keyword in Google Blog Search and Technorati, the SERPs of Google Blog Search has more results and relevance against Technorati search.

One good thing i like about Technorati is the idea of authority and the numbers of backlinks linking to your blogs but this past months Technorati’s servers are down or broken. It can’t crawl all the blogs and can’t compute all the linkings between blogs in blogosphere. In this niche of weblog search engine the Google find a hole to compete against Technorati as Google Blog Search overtakes Technorati.

The blogosphere authoritativeness is mostly based on Technorati Authority algorithm. Like Ratified.org of Andrew where it uses Technorati as one of the bases or factors who’s the Top 100 Blogs in Philippine Blogosphere. If technorati losses eventually to Google Blog Search i wonder other site that ranks Blogs will also change their algorithm. Is there will be a Google Blog Search Authority?

Honestly i like more the results of Google Blog Search compare to Technorati.

Is Technorati Losing ground?
