My switch to WordPress seems to be catching back up to pre-Wordpress traffic levels!

Woot!

You have some good points in your comment.
Rank and authority are only implicitly connected with traffic. I guess that some blogs get very few blogs reaction but could be a big magnet for traffic. Now when we have Twitter it is even easier to route traffic under Technorati radar.
I did mention the option to track that and more in this post:
Bloggers clustering
In this post I did not meant to show the worth of one blog over another based on Technorati rank. My intention was to show the trajectory relative to one’s own blog.
Rank monitoring is a tip of the iceberg but in my world it is considered a “lead”.
I hope to make it more interesting in the future.
I really like that you help me thinking about it, thank you.
Keren

Any thought of measuring Alexa rank vs. Technorati rank vs. Technorati authority?

I think it would be really interesting to see the changes between these – in theory a higher rated, higher ranked technorati blog (like Technobabble, Alexa rank 626,018 / Technorati Rank 39904 Authority 154) should be more valuable and able to generate higher CPMs than a blog like mine, OnlineVideoWatch (Alexa rank 289,586 / Technorati Rank 51019 Authority 125), at least once ad targeting gets good enough.

My audience may be larger but your rankings tend to indicate that my readership is less valuable per capita…Right?
