Seems to be a common problem. Two of my blogs haven’t been updated in over 40 days now. I tried clicking their manual ping but that hasn’t made any difference.

Oh well, really not anything I can do about it.

Man, my blog has been not updated for 22 days according to Technorati and I hate it. TR used to give me a couple of good hits everyday.

But that hasn’t affected my rankings I guess.

Yep…I love Technorati for a lot of things, but the link-count on all of my blogs is usually broken for months at a time.

It seems funny to me that they can show you what new links you have coming in — and in short order — but they can’t do something as simple as adding those results to your link count.

I’ll never understand…but I still dig technorati :D

Same here. After the last post here and at Newsome.Org, Dave and Niall got me back up and running, but within a couple of days it broke again.

Now every new link I get knocks off an old link.

My humble blog in the same period leapt 10,000 to about 32,000 after being static for a while. I wonder if it is because they operate like Google, as detailed in the recent London Review of Books. Rather than search the web trying to rank it, Google downloads an entire copy and indexes it. Naturally it takes a while to download so Google is ocasionally out of date. This is why Yahoo! sometimes have better search results. I suspect Technorati being a fair bit smaller than Google probably takes a bit longer to download it’s copy of the web.
