How to get a blog into Technorati

[catherine-279388]

Hi

This again is probably a naive question, but here goes anyway.  I've searched around a lot to find out how to use 'Technorati' with my companies blog posts, i.e.extend their reach.  I have discovered, from lots of querying, that WordPress does an automatic RSS feed which 'Technorati' will automatically pick up on once it has been told of an update to the blog by WPs automated Ping.

In a WP forum I found a discussion about the problems of getting your blog into 'Technorati'.

In it basically it states that you blog post should be there.  If it isn't it is due to errors in coding on an individualized theme.  I ran a W3C validater suggested, that did pick up 90 errors for my 'home' blog page.  The link even explains in practical terms how to correct the errors.

However, the designer is not convinced this is the problem.  As a novice I don’t know if this is the reason for definite.  Does anyone have an opinion on this problem?

Typically Technorati requires you to post a unique code in your blog to display that you're the author when you sign up for their service. Also of note, Technorati's search is pretty bad. It's better to go to Google and search: yourblogname site:technorati.com.
