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 <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090511155815/http://technorati.com/account/blogs">claim</a> their blogs in Technorati or <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090511155815/http://technorati.com/ping/">ping</a> us to submit their blogs for review. </p></div> </div> </div> </li> <li id="post-111"> <div class="inner"> <div class="threadpost"> <div class="poststuff"> <a href="#post-111"></a> </div> <div class="post"><p><span>A: </span></p><p><strong>If the link was in a post,</strong> you may want to check to see if the post from the blog that linked to you was indexed.
