    Make sure your feed is associated to your blog
    Since Technorati and other services such as ourselves index your blog with the assistance of your feeds, it is suggested to associated it o your blog.

    To do this, add code to the <head> section of your blog home page HTML for your Atom feed and/or RSS feed.

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="http://Atom_Feed_URL" />

    <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://RSS_Feed_URL" />

    For more information, please refer to our help page.

    Make sure your blog is pinging Technorati
    Technorati does not index a blog unless a ping is received from the blog to initiate our spiders to visit the site. To ping Technorati, you can do it either manually via our ping page, or set your blog to autoping Technorati in your blog settings. For help doing this, please refer to our help page.

    **Note: the "Last Updated" time seen in our pages refers to the last time Technorati successfully received a ping to index the blog.

    Check the Validation of Your Blog and Feed

    Help our spiders find your content in its entirety by outputting valid markup for your web pages and feeds.

    The W3C Markup Validation Service will help you identify and correct markup errors on your site. Modern spiders can work around some errors but it is best to provide as little work as possible to index your site and display all of your content the way it is meant to be displayed.

    Technorati also indexes your feed to retrieve additional information and discern document structure. Feed Validator will help you verify the markup of your site's syndication feeds and identify possible points of improvement.

    Expose Full Post Content in Your Feed
    Better Yet, Use a Full Content Atom Feed

    Technorati indexes the home page of your weblog assisted by the content of your web feeds. If the home page of your weblog contains summaries or plain-text with no links Technorati may not recognize and index your full posts.

    If you use the Atom syndication format (highly recommended!) to publish the content of your weblog, Technorati can index the full text of your post regardless of your content choices on your weblog home page. Include your entire post within the content element of each entry and we will recognize this content as the full content of your post.

    Better Identify Your Posts

    Technorati breaks up your weblog's home page into smaller sections such as posts and sidebars. If we are having trouble parsing the data in your blog and identifying your posts, try adding additional code to your blog HTML (if you are able to edit your blog HTML or template) to better identify your individual posts by adding permalinks and a defined relationship of "bookmark" to your post titles. For example:

    Add the rel="bookmark" and permalink code so it looks more like:

    {a href="http://PERMALINK_URL.com" rel="bookmark"}POST_TITLE{/a}

    where { } are < >

    Making these changes will also help other visitors better subscribe to your blog and find the permanent location of your blog posts as well.

    Make sure the permalink URLs for your blog match in your feed and home page

    Just to clarify, Technorati indexes posts via the blog home page with the assistance of feeds. If the permalinks for the posts are different between the feed and the blog home page, this may trip up our spiders when trying to index your posts.

    So that we may be able to index your posts better, please try adjusting your permalinks so they point to the same URL.
