If you have a blog, this is the most important thing you will read today
People doing work at home are conscious from the step of domain registration where they often overlook the aspect of seo services that are to be rendered thereafter. It’s good to buy dedicated hosting plans that would help you generate good revenues afterwards. Also foucs on making a user friendly website design.
Have you claimed your blog at Technorati?
If you have, well done, if not, read on:
If you have a blog, this is the most important thing you will read today….
If you have a blog, claim it at Technorati now. In fact, I will forgive you if you just open up a new tab and go there right now, honestly it is that important.
What happens if I try to claim this blog ( http://www.ricklomas.com ) is I get an error says:
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.
If you contact Technorati, they don't reply. That's it, nothing. Apparantly Technorati is a really small outfit and they just don't have time to support people like me.
Being an 'author' in Technorati is really important, you can easily dominate pages of Technorati with your niche keyphrases and you can tag your posts as you go along and get great results with search engines and Technorati itself.
So why won't my site work???
I'm not sure, I have automated things in the past, but only using things like WP AUTOBLOG to fetch genuine fresh content from ebay.com. I may have stronged the more popular phrase like 'iPhone' and 'Nintendo Wii', but nothing too bad. My content has always been a pretty good mix of low quality and good stuff too.
Preventative Measures
- set up a blog, make 1 post and then claim it
- look at everything else you have, for example Myspace.com has blogs that need claiming.
- wordpress.com blogs can be claimed too
- don't decide to change your URL by deleting the old claim and then setting up a new one (this is exactly what happened to me on this site), you can make multiple claims, so that gets 'round that for the moment.
I'm going to be releasing the other essential thing that you have to do as well, tommorrow, so stay tuned.

Hello, I too got many problems with caliming my blogs and even not pinging… But all was solved as soon as I contacted tech team – they are just great!
I posted about this more here: http://www.niggybuzz.com/2007/06/15/technorati-support-team/
I had to try several times over the course of a week, but I finally got lucky. I think Technorati's servers are too busy and not able to handle all the claim attempts. Good luck.
I had this happen. They do reply after about 2 weeks. I sent about 10 emails, tho.
Nice!
Cool!
