In a recent post, Brian at Technorati dissects the statistics that t'rati displays for each blog:

• Rank 1,375:the number of blogs, plus one, that have more than 1,005 blogs linking to them
  
• 1,919 links: the number of links pointing at this URL in the last 180 days
  
• 1,005 blogs: the number of distinct blogs pointing at this URL in the last 180 days
  
• 3,149 links: the total number of links we found pointing at this blog, ever

There's some explanation and discussion too, esp. of the ranking number, & the notion that several blogs w/ the same number of inbounds within the last 90 days can (& do) share a ranking.

Brian's post is now accessible from the green-circle questionmark next to the rank on your search results page...
