Not seeing page rank would tilt value towards public link-value measuring services for sure. That's a really fun idea. Thanks for stopping by.

The only problem I've been having is that Technorati won't allow me to claim my blog. I've written their support team and they just won't respond or fix it. Too bad, because they show tons of links to my blog. The one time that they did respond and gave me some code I was able to add it to the blog...then for some reason it was for someone else's blog so I immediately removed it. Dealing with Technorati has been a nightmare, to say the least. This is great info, Marty. Wouldn't it be interesting if Google at some point removed public view of PageRank? Only then might we have to rely on another means to buy and sell links--like Technorati's authority and the number of links to a site or page. Great post.

While there are many good reasons to participate in other communities, comments in most blogs get you links that have no authority. Some time ago bloggers felt they needed to make comment threads no-follow zones. There is some debate about this and Andy Beard (http://andybeard.eu/) has written some very interesting posts on the topic. Alternate views are well taken. For instance Andy deserves a followed link from this post...not that he needs it :). Jason,

Right. First, aimClearBlog is new and splog attraction is new to us. It's already clear that many do not respect intellectual property on the Internet. I'm sure you get bombarded and akismet is only so good. There is a serious noise problem. Some Technorati SERPS are total rubbish too. There are pockets of usefulness sprinkled with buzz data mining flashes of brilliance. Certain aspects are infuriating. Certain corners of the app' are so cool they keep me up at night. <Rant> Andy, In my last life I was a musician and it was discouraging as the Internet took hold. All of a sudden there was this bullshit open source mentality that music should be for free. Umm...what's wrong with this picture? The Internet, for all it's promise, only does a mediocre job of policing IP. This is going to become exacerbated as the Internet penetrates even deeper into the jungles. People need to create. People are driven to steal. SAY IT AINT SO </Rant> Great points. Right. First, aimClearBlog is new and splog attraction is new to us.

Some of it is even from myself. You get a lot less if you use Feedburner tracking links, but then you get less unique blog links counted as well. SEO Round Table has only been linked to from just over 2000 blogs in the last 6 months, which is what determines the "authority" figure.

Thanks for the info. Curious as to what qualifies as "authority". The only authority links I currently have (new blog, less than one month old) are from comments I've placed (like this one) on other people's blogs. I do know, however, that I am on a couple of blogrolls which don't show up on those listings. Any way to crack that code? Thanks again. Great advice. Interesting read. Thanks for the info.
