Technorati Ranking Explained

• Links: the number of links pointing at this URL in the last 180 days.
• Blogs: the number of distinct blogs pointing at this URL in the last 180 days.
• Total Links: the total number of links found pointing at this blog, ever.

Your rank puts you into a class of blogs that have the same number of links pointing back to their sites as you do. So if your rank is 10,000.
