  Well, I’m sitting here on the Technorati sending in a feedback wondering why it’s taken two weeks to get my blog claimed and I noticed something in the (lack of) help files on what the tags are suppose to be:

  <a href="http://technorati.com/tag/[tagname]" rel="tag">[tagname]</a>

  Now here’s what I have with my category tags within the links:

  rel="category tag"

  I know from reading the WP docs that Technorati and the other indexers are suppose to pick up on these but they’re slightly different.

  Does it make any difference?

  Thanks,
  -drmike

  I’m not sure what you’re getting at drmike. All I know is that I claimed my blog back in December and it didn’t take any longer than it usually does.

  The rel portion of the tag is different. That’s what concerns me.

  I finally got back an email from Technorati after two weeks. I got my blog claimed finally. Of course 200+ posts will be ignored, including all of my previous written works. Oh well…

  The thing is…technorati doesn’t really generate enough traffic to cause much worry about incompatible rel tags.

  Exactly.

  I have yet to see anyone listed as being referred by Technorati in my stats in any of my 5 blogs covering thousands of posts.

  Mine got claimed right away. And I’ve gotten Technorati hits already. But I post silly, useless crap about celebrities. Post silly, useless crap too and you’ll then get Technorati hits. lol

  REALLY!?! REALLY!?! REALLY!?! :)

  Think I’ll go make some more posts about Kim Possible in a little black dress. I mean that’s all I get hits for is that one single post I made over a week ago. *grumble*

  My search term list for the last two days:

  [Deleted because it’s throwing off Google’s searches. I don’t think Matt’s a big Kim Possible fan. :)]

  Hey if all else fails Paris Hilton in a post title is the default entry for useless inane visitors.

  I have that too but I’m probably too far down the list for it.
