The Next Big Tech Thing

I did it, and I also got this:

Nov 23, 2009. We have successfully crawled your blog and found the claim token, and your claim is now awaiting review.

This was 10 days ago :> What now? http://technorati.com/blogs/www.mypage.com doesn’t exist. Did technorati forget me or do I have to do something else in order to get my blog listed?

Also have the same questions. My claim is now awaiting review – since November 25. I was wondering how long does it take for the review.

Claim Status – “We have successfully crawled your blog and found the claim token, and your claim is now awaiting review.”

This at least tells you that your site is in the queue waiting to be processed. At times Technorati has a large backlog of claims to process and the wait time can be considerable (1 month or more).

I can only suggest that you may want to contact them via Twitter (@technorati) or Get Satisfaction (http://getsatisfaction.com/technorati) to find out how much longer it may take for your site to be processed.

I am still waiting for review, Is technorati team personally review it or it is automated. Is it possible that they will not approve my post.

To the best of my knowledge there is a manual review process which checks for sites built for pure spam purposes.

It appears that Technorati is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it. This was posted by a Technorati employee November 16th, 2009 about this issue:
“Yes, it is taking weeks (> month for some) to process claims, and no, we don’t think that’s acceptable. I expect things will getter noticeably better over the next few weeks, but it may be a bit longer before the process is really working smoothlly.”

There is a growing viral backlash to the Technorati review process. I am among those impacted by their tremendous poor customer service. Amazingly, the lesser-known blog catalog reviewed my claim, and added my blog within 2 business days.

@Technorati: Customer service still matters.

This article has recently been receiving a considerable amount of traffic because of the review process delays. From what I've head it seems that Technorati is still not processing any new blogs. As soon as I hear that they have started processing new blogs I will get a new post up to let all the readers know.

From your experiences with blogcatalog (http://www.blogcatalog.com/) would you recommend that other readers submit their sites to it? Have you been seeing any traffic coming from blogcatalog since you've submitted your site?

Thanks for this! Technorati should refer to your post for instructions to this frustrating exercise. Happy New Year!

Thanks for your support. Trust me if Technorati would allow me I would do work for them for free as a part time site reviewer.

Hey Charles,
Thanks for taking the time to respond. I defintely recommend Blogcatalog. Effectively, they stated they would crawl my blog within 48 hours, and that was over the Thanksgiving Holiday. They met their target and my blog posts were being published with their service within the two-day window. While I'm not a huge community member at Blogcatalog, I've noticed that some traffic is generated from their service (but make sure you use relevant and meaningful tags, and for even better results, join communities, etc).

I suppose the only downside with Blogcatalog is that the subscriber base is much smaller than Technorati. Still, they say they provide a service, and actually fulfill that commitment. A novel idea that Technorati might want to consider.

Technorati is now processing new blogs once again. I've just received the following:

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.

How long is it likely to take before they review it??

There are 2 sites that I submitted about 2 months ago. Out of the 2 one has been approved and the other is still pending. Two months is clearly a long time but at least they are now processing the queue.

What are you experiences? How long have you been waiting for?

I followed this after the confusing no explanation on the email I got from Technorati or on their website but when I checked my account all I got is “We are evaluating your claim. It may take quite some time for evaluation. ” and that's it.

Maureen, that's how a lot of people are finding this post. From what I've heard there is still a large backlog of sites they are processing. It may take some time to see anything happen for your site.

Shoot me an update and let me know how long it took to get your site up. I am sure other reader are curious also.

Just registered our blog as well…do you just keep that verification code on your blog for that long? Looks kinda silly. Anyway around that? Appreciate the advice.

You can remove the verification code when your site has the status:
We have successfully crawled your blog and found the claim token, and your claim is now awaiting review.

Then you just play the waiting game… Does that help?

Thanks…I'll keep a look out!

So how long have You been waiting till your blog in technorati was claimed?

I have personal had more than one blog wait (and still waiting) for more than 2 months.

Another blog that I've submitted has been approved in less than one month.

Hi, I finally got an email from technorati saying “Thank you for submitting your blog claim on Technorati. We have successfully crawled your blog and found the claim token, and your claim is now awaiting review” so is it ok for me to remove the post with the token number now? Thanks for your help!

No problem Maureen, it seems that I've been appointed unofficial Technorati support because of this post.

Yes, that means that you can remove it and now you just have to wait to be approved by Technorati.

And I think you're doing a much better job than them! Thanks for all your help! Really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for this post, and being so great about answering everyone's questions. I've been only waiting a week…so I guess I'll need to learn the art of patience!

Now I know, compared with the other, my “waiting time” for technorati evaluation claim is nothing… I've just been 2 days long..
At least I am not wonder “when?” anymore..
Thanks Charles..

Come On Technorati my site http://www.speedyvehicles.in is still awaiting review from te last 1 month.

I must say I'm glad that you answered this question. Technorati doesn't do a terribly good job of explaining a simple way of utilizing the token. Thanks, I appreciate it!

Thank you for posting this! Worked like a charm.

i have add my blog and post claim token, but there's the messages: “Unfortunately, we encountered a problem reading your blog. Our engineers are investigating and we will update your claim status as soon as we are able. “

thank you!

You made this extremely simple. Thank you! You may want to note that the confirmation message you receive can differ–for example I got the following one: “We are evaluating your claim. It may take quite some time for evaluation.”

[...] Prijavljivanje bloga na sajt Technorati.com je takođe zanimljivo. Potrebno je otvoriti nalog na ovom sajtu, otići na novootvoreni profil , skrolovati na dno stranice radi takozvanog blog claim-a, i uneti tražene podatke . Nakon toga, na email adresu koja je prijavljena na ovaj servis biće poslata poruka koja sadrži tzv. token kod, koji je potrebno iskoristi na pravi način. [...]

Thanks for this – I was looking all over Technorati for what I was supposed to do with the token – 10 seconds in Google found your article and I'm done. Don't know why Technorati is being so user unfriendly with the process.

Thank you so much. I've been working on this claim token riddle for a week and thanks to your post I've finally got it. Cheers!

thanks for great tips, now fix my token problem

Can you put the snippet of code in a <!– — > type of commenting bracket? Thank you.

Thanks. It works though it is quite cumbersome. Technorati should follow the way Yahoo/Google/Bing authenticate the website owner.

Just wanted to let you know we mentioned you on our site at
http://www.wacktrap.com/media/websites/how-use-…
regarding this post.

thanks for your help. It was simple, but i could not find any explanation on technorati.
I thought it to add it like google analytics or like a meta tag.

I submitted 2 blogs to technarati in 2008 and they are still are not included. They are not fly by night blogs, but ones with a team of contributing writers, posting every week. I just learned that they have a token verification- which was poorly explained. I can't leave a public post on our blog as a blank page with a token though- that's too unprofessional and there are too many readers who would see that. Is that really the only way to submit a blog to Technarati? For those interested, one of the blogs is: http://www.caslab.com/News/

Thanks , I had no idea how to find that claim token , your post was very helpful, now my site is finally claimed , Thanks for your help

Thanks for this great post about the token.
I was kind of confused about posting that token on my blog.
Got it right now.Thank you so much!

I’m glad you are telling us what to do with the claim token, because I sure can’t find that info on the Technorati site — it’s not even included with the email sending me my token. But I see that your post is almost a year old, so I wonder if your directions are still up to date. Nonetheless, I will follow them and hope it works.

What an involved process for claiming my blog, with insufficient directions provided by Technorati!

Kathleen

Thank you. It took me a while to figure it out working with my blog but got it through. Very helpful

Thank you mate I needed that

Thank you! This is really helpful. Technorati really needs to revise their own instructions (or lack of). For instance, why does the last confirming message from them say “…and your claim is now awaiting review.”?? Review by whom? As you point out, by the time you receive that message, you’re essentially done.

I tried to search my Blog in Technorati Blog Directory, but couldn’t find it…Why?

Thank you very much, because of your guidence I successfully installed my technorati’ token corecctly. I think Technorati should hire you as an ADVISOR …. ^^.

Good wishes,

Excellent post.. it really help me! God bless you!!!

I have done as you said above steps its been over a week now and still its shows a message
“We have successfully crawled your blog and found the claim token, and your claim is now awaiting review.”

How much time does it take to review my  blog ?.

Thank so much, this was a big help and now I am all set. Do you know how long usually Technocrati takes to process claims?

Jon

This explained things much clearer than technorati, Thanks!

THANK YOU!  I was so confused about the process until I read your post.

Cheers,
Louise

thank you for sharing this procedure, http://slrc-sanpablo.blogspot.com

That was super helpful.  It’s not very easy to figure out on the website-they really need to specify the steps more clearly. 

Thank allot.[url=http://mobile-moneymachines.com]Mobile Money Machines[/url]
