Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs. Claiming your blog through Technorati allows you to use Technorati services to increase your blog’s visibility.

To begin claiming your blog, you will first need to go to Technorati.com and sign up for an account.

After activating and confirming your account, go to the My Profile page on Technorati. Once there scroll down to the My claimed blogs section near the bottom of the page.

Then type in the URL of your blog and click the Claim button.

On the next screen fill in the details of your blog and click the Proceed to the next step button at the bottom of the page.

A screen will load with some additional information.

Then you will want to go back to the My Profile page. Once there scroll down to your My claimed blogs list and click the Check Claim button as pictured below.

Here you will find your claim token. Create a new blog post (or edit a recent blog post) to include this claim token. Once your claim token has been added to your blog press the Verify Claim Token button.

Once you’ve claimed your blog, the claim screen should show a notice like the following if it worked properly.

Note: Technorati will still need to validate your site, and the claim will not be immediate. If you experience issues with claiming your blog, you will need to seek support at Technorati. If the issue with the claim process is found to be on WordPress.com, please contact support with all appropriate details.
