[...] Sites like Twitter, however, never factored in a premium option (which I would happily pay for) and as a result are seeing their you-know-whats because of scalability issues. Technorati suffered bad press and continue to struggle when I would have happily paid them an annual fee for their offering (I wrote about this some time ago). [...]

[...] How can we prevent this from happening? Lots have been said about Technorati and how crappy it has become, but there are lots of great features that could potentially make Muti great! Two features I love is 1) Watchlists and 2) Tagged feeds. [...]

What worked for me was an email a day for 60 days. The manual ping doesn’t do a thing, neither does anything else.

They need to flick some switches, toggle some tags and do some magic on their end and everything then works magic again.

Good luck. They will answer your email soon-ish.

Just let me pay, please.

57 millions blogs. Let’s say 10% are having the same crappy experience I am. That’s 6 million bloggers needing help. Let’s assume 10% of them feel like I do and would pay $20 a year for reliable listing on Technorati. That’s $12 million instantly. Sounds like a plan.

Had the same issue on http://cowboysengines.blogspot.com – though not as bad. Usually takes a day, sometimes more to “catch up”. Manual pinging and all. Perhaps use Google Ping as well? (following the Bush theory of if you throw everything at google, something else is going to pick up on it )

On the other hand Darren, 57 million blogs to index is a lot…

I have the same problem – and GorillaSushi, manually pinging doesn’t work either. I’ve seen lots of conflicting reports out there, but I suspect your reason may be that your RSS feed is not on the same domain as the rest of your site – Technorati apparently uses the RSS feed for most of its spidering.

That’s a guess, and it’s also not my problem, and I’m still not getting indexed, so who knows. I wouldn’t try mess around and change your feeds just because Technorati is bust.

Quick fix – you can do a manual ping on the Technorati site…
