Issues pinging to Technorati
Have any of my fellow bloggers out there been experiencing any pinging issues with Technorati? It just came to my attention yesterday from a kind blogger that my posts are not showing up at Technorati, even though when I update with new content, I am set up to ping Technorati, in addition to Blogrolling, Weblogs and a few other sites like that. Here are the ping URLs I’m set up to ping to:
http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/
http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
http://ping.blo.gs/
http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
http://ping.rootblog.com/rpc.php
I even tried deleting all of the above and just using the Pingomatic pinger and that didn’t work, either.
I know it’s pinging Blogrolling and Weblogs as I checked them last night (I didn’t check the rest, but assume they are as well) but Technorati is showing that my site has not been updated in the last 76 days. I have emailed their support as well as their feedback dept and even David Sifry himself to try to get some help (all in the last day) and have heard nothing back. I’ve heard varying stories about Technorati’s turn around time on support and with that in mind, that’s why I’m posting this – to see if anyone else has had this problem and if so, what was done or what can I do (if anything) to correct it. Technorati is the number one search engine out there for people to find what bloggers are blogging about and I of course want people to be able to use key words and have my recent posts (if any) on that keyword show up. Even trying to manually update at Technorati for me has not worked. I am simply at a loss as to why my site at one time updated to Technorati and now no longer does and need some help with this.

Hi,
It’s working now. I fould your post via technorati.
Jim:razz:
Hi Jim – thanks! I do see them showing up now, but each update is showing up with a link to this post where it says “Sister Toldjah”. At least the link to the actual posts are showing up first … but I need to get them to change it so the “Sister Toldjah” link doesn’t take them to this post, but the main link.
Thanks for letting me know!
Hi, sorry that things aren’t working right! I found you via my Technorati watchlist, so clearly this post got indexed, but I’ve also passed on your request to our engineers to see what is up.
Sorry that we’ve been unresponsive in the past, please don’t hesitate to drop me a line at dsifry AT technorati DOT com if you have problems like this in the future…

Hi David – thank you so much! It looks like my posts are starting to show up in Technorati now, but see my above note to Jim as to how the “Sister Toldjah” link is directing people to this post, and not the main page. I also wonder if it has anything to do with my manually pinging earlier, which did not work last night?
It might have to do with your manual pinging – you should always ping with the URL for the main page of the blog, not the individual entry pages.
Our engineers have also looked into it, and your blog claim should also be processed now. Let me know if you have any other problems, best by direct email as above…
Dave
Dave, it looks like updates are showing up now without me having to ping manually – I’ll check on it throughout the day to make sure everything’s ok, but so far so good.
Thanks again for the quick response from both you and your engineers!
One final comment – new posts appear to be indexing correctly now, I just tried this search:
http://www.technorati.com/search/Rangel+should+be+ashamed
and you post (with the proper attribution) came up. Let us know if you have any other issues.
Dave
Looks like we’re good to go! Between pinging issues and emailing issues I’ve had this week, I’m awfully glad it’s Friday
Thankyou for this information. I was trying to figure out why Weblogs said I was a ping spammer. I thought you were suppose to update with the home URL and each individual page. Hopefully it resolves itself? I guess I will find out soon enough! Thankyou again.
Good luck Hat Girl!
Found ya!
