Thank you for submitting your blog claim on Technorati. Technorati will need to verify that you are an author of the site http://yoursite.com by looking for a unique code. We have just assigned the claim token ############ to this claim. Please visit http://technorati.com/account/ for more details, including how to use the claim token.Sounds good, so you go back to your account page for more details on how to use the claim token – but wait, when you return to your profile there are no additional details on how to use your claim token. Unfortunately these things happen in web development… no big deal.
So I turned to Google for “how to use technorati claim token” and found their FAQ on blog claiming (though it would have been useful to include it in the email or account section).
So the last steps are to:
- Write a blog post (such as this) and include your 12-digit technorati claim token in the body of the post, near the beginning (hence my code at the top)
- Return to your account page, scroll to the bottom, and click the button to “Check Claim”
