Technorati: Blogs Up; Splogs Down

Technorati is tracking more than 57 million blogs, and Q3 2006 figures show that number is growing steadily, with 100,000 more blogs being created every day, according to Technorati's October 2006 State of the Blogosphere report. The company also contends that, while it appears that blog growth is slowing, better splog (spam blog) control measures are to blame for the dip.

Also reported:

* The blogosphere is doubling in size every 230 days.

* In Q3 2006, Technorati reduced the overall percentage of splogs indexed from 8% to 7%.

* More than 70% of pings are from known spam sources, which Technorati blocks before they become splogs.

* About 4% of splogs do get past Technorati's filters -- even if it's only for a few hours or days.
