So if your count is dropping now, that SHOULD mean that you have fewer incoming links now, than you did 6 months ago, or in April. I'll buy that for now, but if we are still seeing link counts go down next month, then either Technorati is screwing up, or people just aren't reading blogs as much as they used to.<BR/><BR/>IMO.Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-42508891283566666892007-10-11T06:34:00.000-05:002007-10-11T06:34:00.000-05:00Despite NUMEROUS pings, Technorati has not updated...Despite NUMEROUS pings, Technorati has not updated my site since August.

But TRati has been pitiful about updating link counts. Hell Marketing Headhunter hasn't been updated since 2006, it seems like. I do know that my readership, and the readership of most of the blogs I read regularly seems to be growing. So it really doesn't add up.<BR/><BR/>"shedding links faster than a Golden Retriever in the spring"<BR/><BR/>I gotta write that one down...Mack Collierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723628321171539590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24784219.post-63095918086814029482007-10-10T12:50:00.000-05:002007-10-10T12:50:00.000-05:00I'm with Greg.

I am pretty certain that I am adding new links from new blogs faster than I'm losing the old, and yet my authority declines by the day. I think that for the majority of us, Technorati has simply stopped updating the counts. Not sure why - or how some blogs are climbing - but even by Technorati support request (asking them to check into this for me) has gone unanswered for almost a week - and in the past, they were always pretty responsive.
