WTF is up with Technorati's "claim blog" process?

    Has anybody else had problems trying to "claim a blog" on Technorati?

    I have been trying for several months now to claim several of my blogs. As soon as I begin the process I receive the message:


    There was a problem claiming your blog. Please try again in a few minutes. You can also go to Technorati Help for help claiming your blog.



    I went to Technorati's Help area and submitted a problem ticket just as they directed. Their site says that if you don't hear back in a week, then you should email them back as a reminder.

    I have been sending them problem tickets and emails every week for 3 months. I have never received a reply ... save for the auto-reply that you receive letting you know that they received your problem ticket. They have also never returned phone calls.

    I know that this claiming process is a problem for many people.


    Has anyone here had problems claiming their blog, but was eventually able to figure out what was wrong? I guess after 3 months I can figure that I'm on my own.

    Thanks.

    I don't get far enough to try all 3. The very first thing you do is key-in the url of your blog. It's at this point where I get the message.

    Doing a Google search on this problem turns up all kinds of people having the same issue. Unfortunately, they are getting no help either.

    Technorati bans domains? Well that would sure suck if that was the reason.

    Yes and for random untraceable reasons. It's really nutty sometimes.
