I like the tags, but the tags don't like me

In the last few posts, I've tried adding Technorati tags like this:

Tagged with: wine + chinon + french wine + Loire Valley + cabernet franc

But then when I click on the hyperlink or do a tag search at Technorati, my tags don't seem to have been taken up/accepted.  I regularly ping Technorati to signal an update.  but still it doesn't seem to be working. 

To any & all helpful tag-savvy bloggers:  What am I doing wrong? 

Tagged with: wtf + technorati + tags

It looks like the problem is that you're using "tag" instead of "tags" in the URL within the tag. For example, you're using chinon but it should be chinon.

i hate to disagree with Sandy but tag works for me.

I have WWW.technorati as the start of my link.

Have you 'claimed' your blog on technorati?

Beau: As an experiment, re-tag your PM post with this tag:
http://www.technorati.com/tag/pinot+meunier

[sam]

i think claiming your blog might help?

Thank you all for your suggestions.

I have tried the whole 'tag' vs 'tags' routine - to no avail.

My blog has been claimed on Technorati for many moons.

I've also tried Tim's suggestion - and still nothin (even with single word tags).

I mustv'e done something really mean during a game of tag in a previous life... (karma and all).

"Many moons"? Did you really moon the Technorati staff? I hadn't thought of that. Brilliant!

Don't despair too much, I have the same problem with tagging my blog about small farms. I think the problem MIGHT be with their so-called Beta version.

"Beta," as you know, is the Greek letter for #2, which means "doo doo."

I am as likely to dig up a post about ant farms ("small farms") with Technorati's tags as I am my own dear little darling little sweet little blog.

If you know what I mean. Seriously. I think they're just still in Beta mode.

I'm having the same issues, too. Getting some advices from my techie friends. Will advise when I hear back.
