Technorati Claiming Woes

Technorati

About 2 months ago Earners Blog was sitting pretty in Technorati with no problems. Then almost overnight the site vanished (I know wierd :p).

I tried to reclaim the blog but I was greeted with this lovely message:

There was a problem claiming your blog. Please try again in a few minutes. You can also go to Technorati Help for help claiming your blog.

Very Informative.

So I go to the help page & have a good long read to see if I can relate to anything. I figure that maybe it has something to do with my feed, since I recently implemented Feedburner.

I reset all my feeds & try to reclaim again. Nope, nada.

I change the template to something else & try to reclaim. Yep, you guessed it, Technorati are having none of it.
I disable all the plugins on the site & try again. Still nothing.
I’ve submitted a support ticket. No Response.

I’ve almost lost faith in Technorati, I’m not even sure I want to bother going to anymore trouble. Maybe someday I’ll magically reappear. Just wondering if anyone else has had these problems, if so, leave a comment

Yep, I can’t claim http://playducation.blogspot.com/ either. Same message for 2 weeks now, no response from support.

I can claim other blogs on blogspot but not this one!

Good luck getting ANY support from Technorati.

I’ve had this same blog-claiming error for 6 months on several of my blogs.

I have submitted a claim ticket every week for each of those 6 months. I have never received any feedback from Technorati. Not 1.

I have tried calling Technorati. I never received any return calls. Not 1.

The worst support in the history of people.

Anyone got a solution for this. I got 3 wordpress blogs and I cant claim any! Highly frustrating, again with no support…

Same problem here. I wish they’d hurry up and fix this. From what I understand many ad services use the Technorati authority to decide you rate. How am I going to get ads if the companies don’t have anything to base their offers on?
