Pingomatic Pings plus Other Pinger-Things

Posted on June 3, 2005

This is a continuation of a previous post about ping engines.

Ping (aka notify) the ping engines every time you post a new article or item on your blog to get the search engines to your site more often.

Now most bloggers use pingomatic.com as a fast ‘notify’ engine. Pingomatic is a lot like the ‘corner store’, the ‘middle man’ in the operation. You tell pingomatic, it tells the other ping engines. Of course it doesn’t tell them all. See below:

Pingomatic covers:

Weblogs.com
Blo.gs
Technorati
Feed Burner
Syndic8
NewsGator
Feedster
My Yahoo!
PubSub.com
Blogdigger
BlogRolling
BlogStreet
Moreover
Weblogalot

It isn’t imperative that you add these other ping engines to your posting schedule, but more links ‘in’ usually means more traffic, more ‘points’ in the search engines eyes.

To Your Success!
