Technorati Only Displaying Inbound Links Up to Thirty Days Old?

Allen Stern - November 12th, 2007

TechnoratiLast week we learned that Technorati has taken blog posts older than six months out of their online index claiming that it was a part of their "economization" plan. Tonight I see that they are only displaying inbound links up through approximately 30 days ago. Counts have dropped dramatically overall. I always liked Technorati for the ability to look back in time (since CN began) and see who linked to what posts. That is gone now. I sure hope it’s a bug.

I hope we get some clarification from Technorati as to what is going on with these link counts and how they will affect authority figures since those are based on six-month figures. Please report in if you are seeing the same thing on your site. So far I have tested 10 sites and all are in the same ~30 day link display period.

Wouldn’t this have been a good topic to discuss along with other planned changes at BWE?

    I have always had problems with Technorati — particularly their Authority links. I am skeptical that they are accurate.

  2. Due to Technorati not giving me the chance to skip to “last” page of inbound links, I’m not really able to check this out for big pages. Am I missing something?

    I can still find my old posts up to 6 months. I hope we’re not in the beginning phase of another purge and what you’re experiencing is just a glitch. I mean, 30 days would be just one final step away from purging everything and closing shop ….
