I noticed a recent improvement on Technorati's Search feature : when you search for sites linking to a blog, they now specify whether results are returned because of their content (i.e. someone wrote a blog entry containing a link to some site) or because the site uses a theme that matches your search query.<\/p>\n
Examples : a lot of people use themes by if…else<\/a>, and upcoming theme K2<\/a> by Michael Heilemann<\/a> is already widely spread<\/a>.<\/p>\n This is a nice technological improvement : except for K2 that adds some meta data in the <head> ("<meta name="template" content="K2 Beta One r73″ \/><\/em>"), making theme identification quite easy for a search engine, other WordPress themes produce no theme specific content but the link to their stylesheet, pointing to wp-content\/themes\/yourtheme\/style.css<\/em>. So I guess the Technorati folks built their own list of WP themes so that they can filter search results.<\/p>\n I don't know if this is part of their plans, but Technorati seems to be a few lines of code away from making a WordPress theme list ranked by popularity and number of links. Similarly, you'll notice that use of the WordPress software is highlighted on search results for binarybonsai.com<\/a>, so we can easily imagine better blog profiling in the next future (blog engine and theme used), and why not blog engines market share statistics (this would make a particularly interesting trend to follow on the long run)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Technorati has improved their link search results<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[67,74,97,245],"class_list":["post-343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-blogostuff","tag-stats","tag-technorati","tag-wordpress"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/343\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
