1. A:

   1) Check to make sure the tags are in the body of the posts. Our spiders parse the posts into it's various sections such as the title, footer, and body. If the tags are outside of the post body, our spiders will not see them and they will not be indexed.

   2) If your blog home page displays summary information, make sure your tags are included in the associated Atom or RSS feed. This will probably mean displaying the full posts in your feed.

   3) Verify the format of the tag code. Please check to make sure you include a defined tag relationship of rel="tag" for each link you would like indexed as a post tag.

   UPDATE: WE'VE MADE ENHANCEMENTS SO THAT UPDATED AND ADDED TAGS SHOULD NOW BE PICKED UP AFTER THE POST WAS PUBLISHED

   Check to see if the Technorati tags were added after the post was published. Currently all new tags in new posts on the main page are indexed. New tags added to an old post that previously did not have tags or categories are considered an update and are indexed as well.

   However, if a post has been indexed before, and some tags indexed before, then changing the tags, deleting or adding tags to the post do not get indexed. Since categories are considered as tags, these are picked up when the post is first indexed.

   If you try to add tags to your posts after you have published your post with categories, then the new tags will not be seen. We are looking to provide changes and addition to tags once the post has been indexed as an enhancement in the future, but until then, please choose wisely!

   If you add your Technorati tags when you first publish your post, then they should get picked up along with your categories.
