The difference between blog aggregation and RSS search tools
(Posted by francois to: RSS )Mary Hodder over at Napsterization has a great post on how the different blog aggregation and RSS search tools work.
One big surprise for me was how Technorati only counts links that are on the front page - so if a post with a link to your post scrolls down to the archives, the link count disappears.
Dave Sifry from Technorati comments about the pros and cons of doing that in the comment section.
Considering that in-links are a measure of a blog's reputation, and not of how interesting a blog is at any particular point in time, I am not sure that only counting home page links works.
