Dear Technorati,
Fair enough – adding the key is pretty simple but come on, can you not at least bury it in some invisible code so we don’t have to share the verification process with the world?
Regards,
Marc
Update 24th Nov 2009
I just received a notification that I need to add a new code to my blog and resubmit. i did that and got this:
I then received an email telling me the ‘ratibots found my verification code and that the claim is now awaiting review.
I’m not one to complain but as I said, this whole process should be a lot slicker.
Update 3rd January 2010
Wow – a full 84 days since I started my claim and I finally received a confirmation email telling me that my blog has been added to the technorati database. Here os what it said:
This is an automatically-generated email.
Congratulations, your claim is now complete! Please allow 24 to 48 hours for Authority and recent posts to begin showing for your site now that it has been successfully claimed. Once they are there, we will update your site’s Authority once per day.
At first you may not see your site listed in the Technorati Blog Directory for all of the categories you’ve selected. As you write blog posts around those topics, you should see your Topical Authority in those categories begin to rise.
I’m not one to grumble but that’s a lifetime in internet years. It’s just amazing that something could be so needlessly complicated and time-consuming. And when I finally received the email, there wasn’t even a link to the site, let alone my account. A tech site that operates at a pace like this surely can;t survive for much longer, can it?
