Technorati: A Weakening Link? Part 2
We're a little worried about Technorati.
Here's just a recent example of the system's current problems:
Technorati recognizes three links to a post we wrote on Friday ("Which Media, Marketing or PR Blog Is the Most Readable?")
It catches links from
Desirable Roasted Coffee
A PR Guru's Musings
Strive Notes
It does not catch links from
Mike's Points
paidContent.org
Jaffe Juice
My Catholic Blog
Student PR
Charles on ... anything that comes along
Who knows -- maybe other blogs linked to it, too. Those are just some that tracked back to the post or referred a number of visitors.
This is one post on one blog. What else is going on out there?
Update: Technorati also missed a link from The One That's Not About Music.
Did you link, too? Let us know.

I share your concern. I'd write to them, but they think I have died (just guessing), for they say I haven't posted in over a month.
Maybe it's not so much an issue of your site, but those that are pointing to you.
They are listing those posting to me, thought. I'll reference your site later today...though I doubt Technorati will catch it.

Wonder also how many links back to the Orchard you lose from people on Blogger, since they don’t support trackbacks. I sent in a request to have that feature added, but for now, I have to do it the hard way and copy, the link, etc.
You might be missing a fair number of links that way too.

I’m finding that Technorati isn’t too bad at my links, in terms of frequency of update. But whether all are captured is another thing.

Tip:
I was able to get some, but not all, of these posts to pop up on Technorati by pinging the blogs myself.
If you have the same problem, you can do this for your own blog at this link.

I have been seeing this behavior for some time.
Technorati does not list quite a few of my incoming links from other blogs.
I wonder????
if pinging the sites with my trackbacks that are not showing would work?

Yes, that sometimes works. Give it a try.
