If you own a blogger blog, you will definitely have noticed that unlike self hosted wordpress, you don’t have the special option of alerting certain blog directories and search engines of new content on your blog.

There’s a way around this if you care to download and blog with Windows Live Writer 2009. Using this amazing free software, all you have to do after installing and synchronizing it with your blog, is to go to Tools in the menu bar and click on Options then Ping Servers.

    Too much pinging can be a bad thing though. There is a plugin that will ensure that you do not over ping which looks like spamming to the sites you are sending it to.

  2. I must admit I have never heard of Windows Live Writer before, but I will look into it. BTW, the first link is broken, you might want to fix that, SY

    Clever Dude, I am not experiencing any lag when publishing posts with the ping list, maybe it is related to your WordPress settings.

    The traffic increase is not big, but every small bit helps since the list is something and add and forget about.

    Thanks for the great, insightful post. This is a wonderful list to keep handy when setting up new corporate blogs, and also provides a nice frame of reference for your own company’s site to make sure you’re fully taking advantage of ways to drive traffic. You’ve inspired me to talk about your list over on my company blog where I mention my favorite points you make and encourage anyone who visits to check out your post. Thanks!

    One of the ways to build traffic to your blog is to ping a blog update notification services to inform them that your blog has been updated so that they will crawl and update your blog.

  10. Hi,

    I just recently stumbled upon pingoat and got my site pinged. Then a couple of hours later, I tried to ping it again and it says:

    Oopsie!

    You cant ping the ‘same blog’ so often. Give pingoat some rest!

    So, simple question here, do you ping once a day, a few times per week? What’s a “normal” rate of pinging oneself, so to speak?

    Thanks,

    • I only ping when I publish a post for the first time. That’s why I use cbnet Ping Optimizer which only pings new posts. It doesn’t ping whenever I edit/update the post unlike wordpress which by default pings sites each time you publish/edit/update posts.

    thanks for the good tool, i have pinged more than 100 search engines at once.

  12. Great information, I have been automatically pinging my blog using www.blogbuzzer.com

  13. After reading your article I immediately upgraded to Windows Live Writer 2011 and installed your ping list. I use WLive Writer quite frequently. Thanks for the informative article. –Tim R Walls

    To publich a comment is equal to updating the post? Is it valid to ping mi blog after publishing a comment?

    • Udegbunam Chukwudi says:

      Hmm. This is the first time I reading of this idea and I really don’t know if it works or not though it wouldn’t hurt to ping the post after every 10 – 20 huge comments ;-)

  15. This is good to go if you like to blog like me and start making real money from home now.
