According to a study on Website Analytics vs. Competitive Intelligence Metrics done by SEOMoz last October 2006 the best predictors of traffic to one’s website are:1. Number of Technorati Links (0.74)
2. SEOmoz Page Strength (0.60)

3. Number of Links to the Blog URL via Yahoo! Site Explorer (0.56)
4. Number of Links to the Domain via Yahoo! Site Explorer (0.54)
5. Bloglines Subscriptions (0.49)
6. Technorati Rank (0.49)
7. Alexa Rank (0.49)
8. Netcraft Rank (0.43)
9. Newsgator Subscribers (0.39)
10. Compete.com Rank (0.38)
11. Ranking.com Rank (0.36)
12. Google PageRank (0.21)

Results are based on visitor tracking data and other external metrics used from 25 really popular blogs.

So what does this mean for you? Simple. If you want to increase your blog’s traffic work on your Technorati links more than your Google page rank! And oh…get people to subscribe to you blog too.
