In light of Declan's article on science blog ranking, I thought I'd check out my Technorank.
It turns out that depending how you identify my blog URL, you get different results on Technorati.
In particular, I rank either 30,009th or 31,912th.
My default URL is scilib.typepad.com
this can also be reached through the longer URL scilib.typepad.com/science_library_pad/
Technorati thinks these are two different blogs.

I'm going to claim the second URL, I don't know if it will make any difference.
UPDATE: Here's an interesting twist. I log in to Technorati and try to claim http://scilib.typepad.com/science_library_pad/ and get
Error: Unclaimable Blog
Sorry, the URL you entered is not claimable.
... The only thing I can think of that I am doing that may screw them up, is that after I claimed my blog initially, I turned off the Technorati claim code in my blog - I have turned this back on now. We'll see whether that changes anything.
I got exactly the reverse while trying to claim a typepad blog. http://outgoing.typepad.com was unclaimable, but http://outgoing.typepad.com/outgoing was. Maybe claim order has something to do with it.
