Q: Links/Blog Reactions from other blogs not showing up in search?

  1. A:

    In order for us to pick up updates and links from blogs, the blogs must be indexed successfully by Technorati after a submission for review. Claiming the blog in Technorati puts the blog higher in priority for review. After the blog has been reviewed and in Technorati, we rely on a ping from those blogs to alert our spiders of those updates, as well as links. If links to you from blogs do not appear in your search, it may be because these blogs have not been submitted to Technorati yet. If so, please encourage them to claim their blogs in Technorati or ping us to submit their blogs for review.

  2. A:

    If the link was in a post, you may want to check to see if the post from the blog that linked to you was indexed. If the post has not been indexed, then the link would not have been picked up. To do this, please try searching for the post using various keywords from that post from http://technorati.com/search and using the Advanced Search feature "Search in: This Blog URL".

  3. A:

    If the link was in a blogroll, you may want to check to see if the hyperlink to your blog is located in the blog source of the blogroll. Blogroll links that are generated via a tool or script are not seen. The blogroll must reside in the blog home page as well. If the blogroll is in a subsection or directory of the site, it is not seen or picked up.

  4. A:

    If the link was in a post, you may want to check to see if posts from the blog are displayed in full content in the blog feed or home page. Technorati currently indexes a blog via it's feed and blog home page. If both display summary information and the link to you is only seen in the permalink, the link is not picked up. Technorati respects blog owner wishes to only index displayed content.

  5. A:

    Please remember that Technorati only indexes blogs at this time. Thus only links from blog posts and blogrolls in blogs are picked up.

    Note:Links from directories, forums, post comments are not seen.

  6. A:

    Please also note that the links must be active hyperlinks to be counted.
