And they only show the most valuable backlinks. Yahoo doesn't filter rel=nofollow from it's backlinks, so those links say nothing about your ranking potential at Google or other engines, while the other way around does work. And as a little extra, for blogs in Google, recent entries and links are quite important. You can always see your recent blogposts getting high in search engine results pages, only to drop down later. So, ironicaly, looking at Technorati popularity might even be a better indication of your Google performance.

It might have been more useful doing that with Yahoo backlinks. Unfortunately Google’s backlink query has lots of issues. It might have been more useful doing that with Yahoo backlinks.
