As I revisited the tail of the homepage for another blog with which I experiment, and on which I make a variety of notes, I rediscovered a Technorati blog monitoring tool that I’d added to it way back when. (I may even have one on this blog, but I’m reluctant to look before I complete this post.)

What grabbed my attention on second glance was that a third blog, one I use with writing classes, currently manifests (according to Technorati) greater authority than the nearest peer linking to it:

The Writing Studio Blog · Authority: 45

Though I am hardly surprised that ELT notes (Authority: 20) surpassed this blog (Authority: 1), I was almost shocked to discover that the writing course blog had leapt suddenly into the double-digits.

Any ideas how Technorati construes authority, or where I might find out?
