I was searching through my logs today saw a referrer link that brought a visitor to my page from Google. The interesting thing was when I clicked on the link to go to the Google search, I noticed a big yellow banner at the top, alerting me to the fact that Google is now providing a more personalized […]
I just realised today that Technorati’s blogfinder search by “Most Authority” is flawed. Why? Let’s do another Formula 1 test case (yes, you can see we love the F1 sites we run here! ).
Do a blogfinder search for Formula 1 in Technorati and sort by authority (http://www.technorati.com/blogs/formula+1?sort=authority) .What is the number one site? A […]
