Now the site has totally different look. New features:

• Have thumbnails displayed for every page/post that has a picture.
• On sub sites such as Cheap Cars and Christmas Shopping, the home page display all pages with thumbnail, and the latest posts displayed in Sidebar instead.
• Search engine optimized
• CopyScape compliance.
• Privacy page

There are still more things to do. I won't brag about them till they are finished.

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:

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.

OK, so I head to the FAQ and found this topic: Getting the "..couldn't find the claim code on your site" message?

What might be happend?

The FAQ says, and what I did

1. Try pinging Technorati.

OK, I didn't really do this yet. Maybe something wrong with my pinging list. This is a possible cause.

I checked my blog's ping list, and unfortunately only 1 ping URL: http://rpc.pingomatic.com/. But I don't it should be the cause, because Technorati "Released the spider" to crawl my site, it shouldn't matter what's on... or does it?

I pinged the Blog URL on Technorati Ping page, and here is the result:

Thanks for the Ping!

Technorati will now check apmart.com for new content. You can bookmark this page and return to it to notify Technorati of updates.

Automate this! You can have your blog software ping for you. Just enter http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping into your weblog tool's configuration for Pings and Notifications. Check our ping configuration page for more information.

And it still doesn't work.

2. Double Check that your claim code is correct

I'm sure the code is correct, because I copy directly from Technorati page and pasted into my post in HTML.

3. If you are using the Link Claim Method ("a href" code) to claim your blog

4. Make sure you are claiming the right URL

5. Check your Validation

6. If you have a redirect in place, please check what kind it is.

I don't really think anyway this cause problem. Unless I'm having 404 again. But it display correctly over here, what would make it not display over at Technorati?

7. iWeb08 Blogs

My blog isn't iWeb08 Blog, so this shouldn't be my concern.

What worked?

Well, since I don't have enough time to do all the suggestions. I wanna stop right here and just put the link on a text widget, which will ultimately display on my blog homepage. So that it MUST WORK. If it doesn't work this time, it's ABNORMAL.

I did that, and here is the result:

Congratulations!

You've successfully claimed your blog. Now please tell us a little more about it. (You can always edit this later.)

The next steps will be covered later on, so make sure you to subscribe to APMart's RSS feed if you don't want to skip my latest posts.

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.

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