The sting of falling Technorati rankings
Tristan Louis (the blogosphere’s Steven Levitt) has favored us with a detailed then-and-now comparison of Technorati rankings from May 2005 to February 2006, appropriately titled Technorati 100: Here Today Gone Tomorrow.
There’s all sorts of data to be had–we were most interested in the difficulty that most of May 2005’s Top 100 had maintaining or gaining ground. A few (Engadget, Gawker, Defamer) managed to move up the charts, but as Tristan notes:
a total of 90 blogs (25 dropping within the list and another 65 dropping off the list completely) ended up with a lower position in 9 months
Interpretation: Turnover on the A-list may be rather high in the coming months. Stay tuned.
