Podcast not listed in catergory

While my podcast "Clicks" can be searched for inside iTunes it does not appear at all in the category listings for technology in the iTunes podcast listings. The feed is http://feeds.feedburner.com/digilifestyle which I have used since January 2005.
The feed was listed when iTunes first started downloading podcasts but now it appears to have been taken off the main listings.

The feed is still iTunes compliant any help would be appreciated seeing as I can't resubmit the feed.

I have the same problem:

My feed, "The Green Majority," was originally listed in late 2006 and is searchable but no longer appears in the podcast category listings (News & Politics). There have been no technical or content problems with the feed.

None of the "report a concern" options for podcast responding to Apple seem like they would get this problem looked at - rather, they seem intended for agreement violations that would get the feed deleted.

I think I remember iTunes changing categories around at some point. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Help, anyone?

Cheers

My guess is that at most only 105 podcasts are featured in any given topic and yours has become not as popular as the others. News and Politics in particular has a lot of heavy hitters.
