Becareful with pinging services out there and make sure you research them, it's not something we've talked about just because it isn't important to our service. Due to the way Linklicious works it isn't banned.

Some of the services out there piggyback off of pingomatic and run links through there. We even tried to do that at first. However, we found that it'll ban the IP with a Slowdown Cowboy error after a random number of pings - between 200 and 3000. The way the in browser pings work you'll never see this error and will only see success messages.

You can set up a test for yourself and see. In Chrome turn off javascript security and fire up the javascript debugger (control-shift-J) to watch the messages. You need to add a listener for each of the iframe load events and run an xpath of the iframe contents to pull out the h2.

This is a very interesting thread. I have never tried pinging my backlinks before, but maybe after I read this one, I'm gonna have a try with it.

Yes, i do. Pinging your backlinks will help your sites get indexed easily.

Sometimes pinging backlinks is real crucial. If they are getting backlinks from websites with less crawler visits their backlinks won't get crawled easily. In such cases backlink pinging is very important.

I do not agree that pinging is waste of time. I do ping regularly and i have got excellent results - One more thing i would like to share that i found better results when i use HTML code instead of BB Code.
