This topic has been covered many times before but I have never found actual examples of how many blogs need to link to you to get into the top 100,000 - 50,000 - 20,00 and so on. As many of you will know, Technorati decides how to rank you depending on how many other blogs have linked to you in the past 6 month. So in essence the more blogs that link to you the higher ranking you have. Currently Engadget is the "Number One" blog with around 28,000 blogs linking to it, what I am interested in is the "rank to link" ratio.
Currently my blog has an authority (blogs linking in) of 66 and is ranked 72,449 in Technorati's scale, by the end of next month (June), I would like to to have my blog ranked 30,000 but I don't know how many links I would need to achieve this this is why I trawled through about 50 blogs and compared their authority to their rank.
From this data I came up with this table below:
Rank: - Authority:(blogs linking in)
1 - 28,243
10 - 10,232
20 - 7,445
30 - 6,545
40 - 5,688
50 - 4,902
100 - 3,305
500 - 2,171
1,000 - 1,550
2,000 - 1,037
3,000 - 802
4,000 - 720
5,000 - 577
10,000 - 349
15,000 - 277
20,000 - 205
30,000 - 150
40,000 - 115
50,000 - 98
60,000 - 80
70,000 - 69
80,000 - 58
90,000 - 49
100,000 - 45
150,000 - 32
200,000 - 25

From here you can work out roughly how many links you need to get that desired ranking score, now I know what I need to head toward to get a ranking of 30,000! I'm not sure how long these numbers will stay relevant for as links are coming and going all the time. Ive satisfied my curiosity and its much easier to see the data represented in a visual form!
