If you look it up, you see massive subscribers but very little hits. Hits should generally be 2 to 3 times the subscriber count. This can no doubt be gamed as well. It's just more difficult. Yeah.

Much harder to fake. RSS can be faked, but if your feedburner API is active a good detailed history can be seen at: http://www.blogperfume.com/feed-analysis/

Technorati used to be THE blog directory, and now, I'm not sure what the purpose is. I use it to sometimes see who all is linking to me, but that's about it. In terms of measuring a website, I'm not so sure that RSS subscriber count is really such a good metric, although that's generally how blogs are judged. In my opinion, this would be extremely easy to fake as <a href="http://theuniversitykid.com/is-the-industrys-fastest-growing-blog-the-industrys-biggest-lie/" rel="nofollow">some have been accused</a> of doing. Just my opinion. Hey Shane,

It looks like the long term measurements are going to be inbound links and RSS subscribers. It was pretty cool to see you up there that high though!
