Some Facts about this domain

• This domain is bought on 2 June 2008 1:00 AM GMT+7.
• The cache date says that as long as the site was up and running.
• This is the first of my site got indexed so quickly without submitting to social sites.
• This domain is previously registered and expired within 2-3 months ago.
• MSN still not indexing new apmart.com, there is an old result in Korean:

Just now I tried both method of blog claim on Technorati. Seems like both method has failed. I don't know why but Technorati may misunderstood my blog as hosted on WordPress.com. Here is what they say:

Sorry, your claim could not be completed because we couldn't find the claim code on your site. Please make sure you've followed all the steps above and try again. Need a hand? Visit the FAQ.

(more...)

Here is how a blog is claimed on Technorati, the biggest directory and search engine for blogs.

1. Enter blog URL
2. Choose claim method
3. Activate the claim
4. Customize blog info

1. Enter Blog URL

First step is simple, all we need to do is to enter our blog URL.

2. Activate the Claim

Second step is a little tricky, there are 2 options:

Quick Claim

It's quick! Just enter the username and password for your blog. This information will only be used to verify that you own the blog, and it won't be shared or stored.

I chose this method at first, but seem like the user name and password doesn't work. I don't recommend anyone to enter user name and password of their blog admin account because that's always risky. Providing this piece of sensitive information isn't safe, at all. Before you do this, make sure you read Technorati's Privacy Policy

Post Claim

According to Technorati:

Just write a new post in your blog that includes a special link to your Technorati Profile to get the ball rolling. You can always delete the post later.

I don't feel bad when the first method didn't work, because this is a chance for me to write a first post for this blog.

Since I'm using this method, I have to include a temporary link back to Technorati. And here is the link, which is my Technorati Profile. You may visit the link and add this blog to your faviourite if you like it.

Technorati, and other blog directory are ver smart. This way they gain a backlink to their blog and increase their popularity. This topic should be in Search Engine Optimization instead.

3. Activate the Claim

I'm not yet there, so I can't tell what it's for.

4. Customize blog info.
