Though it doesn't explain the differing data of Hitwise and Compete. Of course, features of both services are different. Though it doesn’t explain the differing data of Hitwise and Compete.

For some reason, this month I tend to be using a lot of Google's services including Google Blog Search, however, I feel Technorati provides features that I would suspect that Google isn't interested in. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see whether the Technorati profiles are as/more important than raw search. I think one thing that will determine that, though, is how good people will get at integrating their various blogs or making visitors aware of their other blogs/feeds when a user lands on content found via search.

Though things are even stranger now. ;) I just hope there will be some (new?) standard on how traffic is measured in the not so distant future. This is just one example. Yahoo's integration of AJAX is another one. Thanks for clarification. Though things are even stranger now. ;)

The reason the numbers are so different is unknown. Compete represents the largest and most diversified domestic clickstream panel (http://blog.compete.com/where-do-these-numbers-come-from/), so we are very comfortable with our estimates. If you read TechCrunch, they compared the orginal Hitwise report with comScore data. Similar to Compete, comScore still measures Technorati to be signfigantly larger compared to Google Blog Search.
