I am otherwise very happy with the success of my blog (some 1500-2000 uv/day ) and get some decent traffic from blog toplists and blog/RSS directories but my technorati efforts remain with ZERO results. here what I have done so far: I have properly registered my blog/RSS feeds I have "claimed" successfully my blog in technorati I ping technorati after every new post - either using any of the ping services or manually - and always get a confirmation for the ping received aftger each ping my blog is registered and listed with technorati and some OLD blog posts also show up - also the last ping shows up correctly, but none of the recent articles ever shows up in the listed "Latest posts". I always used the very same blog SW ever since I started - hence also the already existing OLD "Latest posts" have been created in same format. RSS2.0 feed as well as blog / XHTML are fully validated code !! Anyone ever experienced same and solved that problem ?? any help welcome.
This is not the first case dude. I too had the same problem, and those 2 blogs were updated once every couple of days and i used to ping at technorati. But no results and changes seen.
so what are WE going to do about this situation ? this definitely is nothing normal my blog is unique, active - sometimes several articles daily, well ranked in Google AND visited by G after every ping within minutes or hours latest. hence there definitely is NO penalty of any kind just a mismatch of format or bug in technorati ... but all fully vaildated on my side. looking at technorati's overall traffic - I would assume that there is a potentially high additional traffic potential to be realized when properly appearing in technorati with all new posts.
Have reported the problem to Technorati people some time back but no answer back. The same was with problogger's darren with couple of his blogs, but nothing changed. We are unsure what those guys are doing and what they tend to do.
I posted a support message just minutes ago on technorati support page it seems there are many others with same problems - and it appears that support solves problems sometimes after posting ...
Yeah, lately Technorati services is not that good. All of my blogs with Technorati is not updated even have pinged them frequently, automatic and manual ping
I am having the same issue with my blog. After reading the pinging thread in this section (blogging), I assumed that they might consider my site as a spammer.
Asking for help in their support forums is a waste of time. They'll fix it if they feel like it. My advice, go about your business as you would normally and don't worry about Technorati.
They have problems. Sometimes site shows up updated and other times it never lists updates. Just ping sites and hope sooner or later they pick some new posts up.
