should i ping my backlinks?

[Suzucheng]

Should I get my backlinks pinged or ping them with intervals? or is it best to get google naturally pick them up?

[rotten72]

If they are quality backlinks the search engines will do this for you. I only ping new content that I create. Check out this blog post Best Quality Back Links For Local SEO.
This works great for all IM, not just local!

[JoePNY]

Yes, I try to ping my backlinks - not all of them but some of the important ones (High PR, etc). Google can take some time in finding and indexing some of these links.

[mince001]

Ping your backlinks,but not all of them. The best thing to do is to social bookmark them!

I hope this helps!

[morc3x]

I never ping them. Just let google find them naturally.

[hashbury]

Depends how many backlinks you are talking about.
If you only have a few it will not hurt, but if you have thousands you shouldnt ping them all at once.

[Marvon]

I usally ping some of my backlinks. And as told in recent post don't mass ping thousands of backlinks.

Let google find them on their own.

[Suzucheng]

How long do they usually take to get indexed? a month or so?

[simonbuzz]

If you have less backlinks then you can ping them but if you have a big lists then I would suggest not to ping them..

[BenJackson]

I don't understand the trepidation when pinging. Take some time to seriously watch the effects of pinging - it's not a very effective means to get your backlinks indexed, especially if you have a few hundred or thousand links to index rather than a handful of blog comments.

Waiting for Google to find your backlinks is okay as long as you know that this can take a long time, but there are ways to speed up indexation...

1) Social Bookmarks
2) Links from popular blogs
3) Links from popular forums (This tiny, simple, trick gets any site indexed in Google within 2 hours...)
4) RSS submission (use html2rss.com to convert your backlinks into RSS feeds)
4) Backlink Energizer
5) Monthly indexing services (linlicious.me, backlinksindexer.com)

Getting your backlinks indexed isn't all that hard, it just has to be treated like another project and be taken seriously. You'll have to keep a file of all the links you've built and then act upon (or pay) for one of the above strategies.

Just don't worry that somehow you'll overdo it with pinging.

[sweetloleypop]

In my case i only ping the new one.But regarding the others opinion if the backlinks is quality i should say yes.Google also can help.

Couldn't agree more...

[faceblogger]

Pinging does not increase the indexing rate. It only helps the links getting indexed faster.

[markrob008]

Well, if you have time to ping your backlinks then do it. That is a very nice thing to do in order to be indexed fast.

[Justinpage]

Pinging is not that a bad thing. But I would prefer to just wait for search engines to find them naturally.

[lisadan1]

I tried pinging for months and I never really saw much of a difference. It seemed that the crawl rate went up but that's about it. It wasn't until I started making a serious effort to INDEX by backlinks that I saw noticeable returns. I used to use LJM but have since switched to Backlinks Indexer just because of how many people have been reporting great results. So far it seems to walk the walk but I need to do more testing to know for sure.

[kaedus]

If you use things such as Twitter and Social Bookmarks to backlink your backlinks, you will see a great increase in the amount of indexed content you are getting.

[design2convert]

I would suggest you to ping only high quality backlinks only if they have not been indexed by google or other search engine. and it also true that yahoo and bing tend to index links more frequently then google.

[pethanks008]

Pinging can really help a lot to get index. Go ping your links. That is the best thing to do.

You should at least ping your backlinks once. I have designed a random schedule ping tool called Nuclear Ping Scheduler, this tool will help you schedule your backlinks for pinging.

If you want to ensure your backlinks are crawl or index, there are various indexing and crawling service around, or alternatively check my signature for some other services.

[pratap295]

No its not necessary to ping our backlinks if I created backlink on high PR sites then Google automatically consider it. So ping our backlinks is not a good idea.

I disagree. Pinging your backlinks will ensure Google found it. Some platforms might not include your backlinks in their sitemap, or home page or any indexed inner pages, only ping will make sure they are found.

High PR sites tends to get index much easier with a simple ping.

[Gauravgupta7]

You shouldn't ping your backlinks or Your website. Google and other search engine can easily index your link and website pages.

I think it is not an ethical practice

[awindow12]

Yes, you can ping your backlinks once It's really help google to find your backlink...

[sunia]

i think if you are using adsense then pinging might trouble your adsense account

This is very misleading, please provide proof.

[figgity]

Definitely. You want your links to be crawled by Google, so you need to ping until the spiders come crawling. If you don't want to do that, I recommend using a service like Linklicious.

Thanks, we have been pinging links for a long time now and we are happy to have such loyal customers.

[jacked]

I recommend pinging your links 1-2 weeks after they have been built. You can use a paid service like Linklicious, but if you are looking for free ping sites, here is a good thread.

After using our own link checker Xrumer will drop off after 2 weeks after they've been built so I wouldn't recommend waiting that long..I would do it quicker than that.

FYI We ran a batch of xrumer links through our own link checking program and we found that only about 30% of the profiles actually contained backlinks.

[curtainsandblind]

ping is indexing fast so u can ping your backlinks.

[alina albert]

You should ping your new post if it is important post it is the best way to tell search engine about your post.

[birink]

i use pink to ,,i think good for use instant

[spyroskoun]

So PING or not to PING?

[Kevin pitt]

Pinging to backlinks brings the higher Google ranking.it brings the organic traffic which is quite helpful.

[bnetwork]

No need to ping your backlinks. Google finds social bookmarking links within minutes of posting a story. Same goes for web 2.0 blogs, blog posts on private networks, high pr blog comments, etc.

Not sure about big xrumer blasts, those links may not get found so quick. Low quality profile links have been devalued a lot over the last couple years anyway.
