Blog-Search Shootout - Technorati vs. Google
Welcome to Gauravonomics Blog! Subscribe to my combined feed in a feed reader or by e-mail and you'll never miss a single post. Thanks for visiting!
In response to Robert Scoble’s call to test Technorati Search vs Google Blog Search, I decided to search for Sanjaya and Shyamali Malakar (something I have been doing frequently anyway) -
- Sanjaya Malakar (without quotes) has 9988 results on Technorati (including 588 results from blogs with a lot of authority) versus 16437 results at Google Blog Search
- Shyamali Malakar (without quotes) has 517 results on Technorati (including 51 results from blogs with a lot of authority) versus 420 results at Google Blog Search
While the results from both Google Blog Search and Technorati don’t look like spam, I personally prefer to use Technorati because it allows me to filter results based on the authority of the blogs.
The verdict then? Based on number of search results - inconclusive. Based on usability - definitely Technorati.
By the way, it’s that time of the week again when I write a Sanjaya Malakar post. This week, I have two or three up my sleeve, and I’m not even counting this one.
