According to David Sifry at Technorati the blog search engine is now indexing 112 million blogs. That’s up from the last time I heard an update from him (35 million). This one was posted on Blogspotting. He also says that there’s about 112,000 new ones each day. You can see the AgWired summary on Technorati.

This is interesting because Technorati ranks blogs so you know how you compare to the others. I was amazed to see that AgWired currently has a rank of 143,900. I’d say that puts it in the top 1 percent of all blogs. Of course most of those blogs are either abandoned or never updated. I’ve heard estimates that there are several million active blogs though. AgWired still comes in pretty good in the top 5 percent of them!

According to Technorati: “A Technorati Ranking relates to the number of sources that point to a particular weblog relative to other weblogs. The more sources referencing a weblog, the higher the Technorati ranking.” I feel lots of fingers pointing at me.

By the way, our Domestic Fuel site currently has a Technorati ranking of 96,541.
