Nice idea, but it fails when you claim your blog as http://sebastians-pamphlets.com (without trailing slash) and then perform URL canonicalization redirects that add the trailing slash. It seems Technorati can't handle the 301s and counts only a few invalid links, if any at all:
http://www.technorati.com/blogs/sebastians-pamphlets.com

That would not be a problem with this technique then, it would be a problem with your redirects and the way you claimed your blog.

Assuming most bloggers don't have a redirect away from the URL claimed, this technique works great. I've actually used it for a long time...

My point is that a clueless submission fucks things up. IOW I failed badly. Pinging Technorati with blogs that link works great, I've automated that BTW.

Here is a tool to submit all linking blogs with one click, kinda Technorati cluster ping orgy:

BTW, two hours after submitting my first comment Technorati sent me an email and told me they've fixed it. Now they find my blog and I've Technorati reputation too. Nice attitude.

Google alerts deliver relatively fresh mentions, and link searches in blog search come with RSS feeds.
