I know this is an old post Darren, but Technorati is having major issues again. Note the banner at the top of their site: “Notice: Maintenance May 11, colo move continues. Search is slow and may be unresponsive. Feeds are off for now.,” (this has been going on for weeks – only the date changes) . I couldn’t log in for a week, and finally today was a succes and BOOM and my blog information is missing from my profile (4 years of information), when I at least try and claim it back the message Technorati gives is:
“Blog claiming is temporarily unavailable. Sorry, Technorati’s claim service is down for the moment. We’ll have it back up and running as soon as possible.” Technorati is being very quiet about what is going on. Have you heard anything?

And the problems still persist today. My site was flagged and I believe it was when my site was hacked so I wrote to Technorati to explain, answered all the basic questions required and no answer. Went back again a second time and still no answer.

Right now, you can’t even claim a new blog because they system just isn’t working. It’s rediculous and, even when my blogs were claimed, I still had the same issues of my blog not being pinged etc. I thought it was just me until I began doing my research on the web.

Whilst a useful tool, my shout is “next!” There are too many other useful tools out there to worry too much about Technorati and their issues. would be nice if the team got their act together.

I think technorati relies on people not wanting to appear egotistical therefore not pushing for their statistics to be right. I am in the realm of ‘sewing blogs’ and there is a ‘Big list’ to which I have added myself, purely for reasons of feeling good about myself, and my work, but I think the person who has taken it upon herself to run it is just doing it to big up her own blog. I joined the list at number 179 and am now 287 when according the the technorati rank she says she uses I should be about number 88, but she just won’t update it.
Sorry..a moan opportunity. Ignore it if you want!

i have the same problems particularly with pinging technorati… there is practically no update and it’s really frustrating

The problem with me is that one of my blogs just won’t even claim. I have another blog at blogsite.com that claimed instantly, my blog which uses the same blogger script, simply will not claim at all. I have emailed support several times, but to no avail.

I don’t know whether to give up or what.

I have this problem intermittently with all three of my Blogger blogs, and I have a workaround that seems to be effective – edit your post and tweak the posting time, then go back to Techno and ping again. Techno seems to ignore posts that have the same time stamp as those that have already been submitted (even if they also ignored them the first time around, and that’s the mystery here).

[...] To my surprise, I’ve learned that this is a common occurence, along with many other problems. You can see the examples here, here, and here, and there are many more in the comments to the actual articles. What’s scary here is that these problems are old. Really old – in Problogger’s case, older than a year. And now I have the same problem, and probably many others. Now, if a really well-visited blog like Problogger , which is among the top 100 Technorati blogs, had to wait for months to get its true ranking acknowledged or its posts indexed properly, I wonder – how can Technorati still be an authority on blogs? I like what Technorati has done for the blogosphere and it is still a great service, but if it can’t fix some basic problems like these then there is little point to its famous top lists and rankings, because they’re simply not correct – and that’s by their own standards.

Hell..with technorati..Same stuff happening with me. I thought i had some issues with my login. My other 2 blogs were working alright, but this one even after re-registering with another Id, shows its updated 9 days ago when i actually updated 1 hour back.

Sometimes i start to believe technorati needs some to shit down relax and god damn UPGRADE!

[...] Apparently, I’m not the only WordPress blogger feeling such pain. It seems Darren Rowse got his indexing problem fixed (albeit not entirely to his satisfaction), but that’s because he’s a blogging god. I am pond scum in comparison. Is that why you don’t pay attention or respond to my emails? [...]

RE: TECHNORATI IS NOT INDEXING MY BLOG

My blog has not been indexed in over a year and I’ve been pinging them and sending emails forever, with no resolve.

I finally found an answer on the FEEDBURNER forums: it seems that Technorati’s spiders become confused by blogs that use the FEEDBURNER and as a result, they won’t index the blog.

I just removed my Feedburner from my blog and repinged Technorati. The others in the forum says that this works and I hope it does for me too! Give it a try.

[...] La secuencia de la argumentación es: no se sabe muy bien cómo rankear, pero escribamos un artículo rankeando; busquemos lo más que podamos, total ya conocemos algunos; y de última le preguntamos a Technorati. ¿Por qué no proceder de la misma forma con los artículos científicos que publica la revista? ¿Por qué no dejar que Technorati los evalúe? La fórmula del ranking de Technorati puede seguirse aquí; algunas quejas aquí y acá. Esperemos -mientras miramos los cinco blogs que propone la revista- otro artículo. Nature se lo merece.

Tell me about it !my blog gets updated rarely and so it’s appearant it isn’t a validationg problem.Also if it was a feed problem then I doubt it would update at all.I would definitely think this is a problem on behalf of technorati itself.

Technorati seem to be having major problems today. Some popular tags are showing as non-existent and others as not having a new post for 55 days.

I wonder what has gone wrong?

Technorati is a second rated service, but a popular, savvy, well designed and influential “website”, made popular by some of the more influential members of the blogosphere. All in all, technorati is a cool name for a “website”, but as a service it sucks.

I’ve emailed t’rati support but no response yet.
