Still having CAPTCHA issues in FF 3.

I use that Wordpress Smart Pinger plugin. I also use Autopinger.com. I just like the interface with Pingler. Too bad we can't get that CAPTCHA thing fixed.

scriptillusion

Damn....ok well we are going to continue to look into it. It is seriously baffling as we are using the exact same code at findmypagerank.com and we have not had any complaints at all.

Back to the drawing board.....

scriptillusion

All the services seem to be working fine for us so far. We will update if there are some that don't work.

Also it is important to remember to use your brain when you ping these sites. Obviously if you ping TOO often it will get you blacklisted. We recommend using the site every few days or posts, whatever is a longer time period in between.

Take Care,
Peter

Nice and fast service.

Here are a few things I saw.

1. Technorati did not allow the ping saying they were just pinged. Probably from pingomatic. Can dupes like that be taken out. Will that get a site flagged?

2. I am not that thrilled with the pinged sites being listed. Sort of a privacy thing.

3. Here is what I would think could be a good subscription service. Especially for people with a number of sites.
With the subscription you can log in and fill out a from for each site you have. When the info is saved all the URLs would appear with check boxes next to them. Anytime sites are updated, you could log in and check the boxes for the sites to be pinged. Since this is a log in situation the capcha would not be needed.

I really like this tool. great design...easy to use and if the captcha doesn't work you can just re enter it. I have found great results using pingler.com. I haven't tried the other, but will later.

Thanks
Ben

Thanks for the comments.

I love pingler very much and have been using it since I have seen it listed here.

However, now every time I try to use the service I receive a network timeout error. I know that it is on my side as I have had it with other websites before.

Usually if I do a flush dns, reset my Comcast modem and and few other things I can then get through. Although I have tried everything that I can think of (and I am by no means tech savy) would you have any suggestions.

When I ping, I see that I am sending packets but not receiving.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I tried to reproduce this error with no luck. I know there is a captcha issue for some that we are working on, but if you can PM me with more info regarding your problem I would be glad to look into it.

It may have been that our server was taking a higher load then normal so try it again and let me know if the same problem occurs.

Take Care,
Peter

I added this straight to my blog so others could use it, i love the site.

James

P.S Just the captcha though, it keeps telling me im wrong then it lets me do it.

Hello everybody,
Everybody loves seeign things hapening live and direct and that is what this Pingler does.

Infact, i dumped everything about pin-o-matic with a very fast speed when i realised the beauty of pingler.

Great work

freetime

Hi can someone tell me why I would want to ping my websites or blogs,or maybe you can point me to the right way for more info. Thank you

Kate

Thanks the service works very well. Any reason we don't enter the rss url, like pingomatic.com?

mbacak

I love pingler. I just added this in the new
tool section of my offline newletter. :-)

scriptillusion

Maybe this will give you some insight:

Ping (blogging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

But basically it will bring the bots to your site to spider your fresh content which eventually leads to traffic.

Bfranzo

Hi! Thanks so much for this tool! It looks great and I'm going to start using it immediately. I've been using Pingomatic and sometimes pingoat but they both seem like they've been having issues lately. Nice to have something different and something that we can count on!

Thanks again,
Brenda

askloz

freetime, your signature file exceeds the 5 line max requirement, better sort that out before Allen gets on your case and removes ya from the forum.

sylvestor

Can you explain a little more about it please? I don't know much about blogging/pinging.

scriptillusion

With this tool you can ping various sources (technorati and blogsearch just t name a few) to let them know that your blog or website has been updated with new content. This will bring their bots to the site to index it and it will bring trafic from those sources as well.

Hope that helps.

Take Care,
Peter

scriptillusion

You can submit your rss url if you'd like.

Your Pingler Tool is FANTASTIC!!!
Will write a post on this spectacular tool on my blog very very soon!

joem07

Hey Peter,
I really like this tool. Other than the occasional problems with the captcha, its my number one pinging tool now.
Thanks......

Joe

scriptillusion

Very cool. Once it's completed send me a link to it and I might be able to help boost some traffic to the post

Take Care,
Peter

scriptillusion

You guys are all very welcome, the site has grown tremendously since it's release and we are now under 80,000 alexa ranking.

Thanks for all of your support, especially to those who have donated, provided a backlink, posted in your blogs or suggested it to a friend. It will help us to continue to keep it a free service and add even more features in the future.

scriptillusion

I just wanted to extend another huge thanks to all of you have donated or given us ideas, help, or constructive criticism to make our site the top ping tool on the net.

Another interesting note is that we just recently received our 50,000th site submission!!!! Thanks again to all and hope you enjoy.

Gallery Sites

Hey Peter-
Just joined today and pinged 25 sites/urls.
Sounds like an awesome service and I'll post
about it on my blog for ya!

Here's a trick I'm testing for greater traffic...

Load your top authority site urls, such as your profile pages
from Myspace, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Youtube, Stumble
Digg, Mixx, etc. and all of those sites will link to your websites.
I think the trickle-down effect could be much bigger then an
individual website url.

Try it and see how it works for you!

TomBond

Can you explain this a bit further?

Gallery Sites

Sure...

On Pingler, when you add your site url's, take a few of your "profile url links"
from big authority sites, such as Twitter, Facebook, Google, etc.

Here's a few of mine as examples:
Article Directory - Google Profile
YouTube - gallerysites's Channel <---- I only have 1 video so far!
The Gallery Sites on Twitter
Article Gallery - LinkedIn
Article Gallery on - StumbleUpon

Insert those type of url's into your Pingler control panel.

These authority sites get heavy traffic, so your profile within these sites
contain links to your own websites, blog or page urls, hopefully bringing
you additional traffic.

I've only been using Pingler for 2 weeks so I haven't checked any stats yet,
but this type of backlink method is said to work best. Good luck!

Johneal

Thanks for the great resource. Still discovering about blogs and pinging. This works just great.

tyler99

I have been using this for a couple of weeks -- thanks for the great tool.

jeremynet

Thanks for the great information but btw, pingler is down?

cybernac

I love Pingler and use it all the time - I have told many people about it also and they are always greatful I told them about it. The only problem is that you have to refresh the page 2 or 3 times first or it says your captcha is wrong and then you have to retype all the fields again.

Tenzo

I've been using Pinlger since I first saw it posted here, and overall have loved it.Like others, I was having some issues with the captcha-but I just realized that I haven't had a problem with it in a few weeks. It's definitley my go-to ping site.

Regards,
Kevin

scriptillusion

Glad you guys like it, we had a good time developing it and running the site for while. We sold it awhile back, but the new owner has done a great job of keeping it up and enhancing the service for users by adding a small membership fee to have your sites pinged automatically. Otherwise it is still a nice free webmaster tool.

helixia

Hi It's great tool. Just discover it today.
How do I check that my site is indexed by them?
Will I get penalised if I ping them every day?

helixia

Do I ping only the main domain site or do I need to ping every .html page I have?

scriptillusion

It doesn't really get indexed at pingler except for a short time it is in the recent list of sites that have been pinged. This tool will help you get indexed in the search engines faster as it will bring the bots to come spider your site rather than waiting for them to find it on their own.

If you update your site everyday with content then it shouldn't hurt to ping it daily, but if the site is not regularly updated I would wait a few days in between.

You can ping any page of your site. I like to ping my main page every week or so and then I ping the individual pages as I add them to my sites.

abelacts

Just tried it and it works fine. Thanks for the site... though the ad was a bit distracting ;-)

gurukid22

Very Cool Good Work

bigbody300

I am new to PINGING., and i love how simple the tool is. My only suggestion is to add more Ping sites..

Other than that - ITS MINT! BIG THUMBS UP!!!

MissTerraK

I just tested your site and it is better than the other site I was using, quicker, and no try again laters, I scored a 91 in like a millisecond! Awesome!
Thank you!
P.S. "I capcha first capcha" LOL = )
Terra

genietoast

I like it. It's quick, and only a couple sites would show unpinged vs. half of the sites on some other pingers.

DianneC

Hi Warriors,

I am confused. Are we supposed to be 'pinging' our individual articles on EZA and other directories so that they are indexed and then we have a backlink to our website?

Dianne

BWM

This is really nice or actually awesome!
Thanks.

mla16

bookmarked..... was using pingomatic but pingler seems to have more options, and 91 submissions in around 30 seconds is excellent..... thank you very much for posting

p.s. no problems with the captcha, using firefox too

brentdev

Checkout PingNinja.com

yes this is my site but i'm only posting it here because it is a) free and without ads.. and b) faster than pingler.com

same type of setup, you give it your URL + then can use the default ping server list or copy + paste in your own. Still in beta form but test it for yourself as far as being faster than pingler by running them side by side and seeing which one finished first. (If you don't believe it actually sends the ping you can either test it with your own ping server or just use one which lists recent pings.. I assure you there is no tom-foolery here).
Enjoy

p.s. any suggestions would be great for how to improve this....I initially set out to speed up the pingler setup, any suggestions that don't add any severe additions to server load will probably be added... Because its free and id like to keep it that way I'm not going to add any services that would bog down the box (i use it for other things).

fypnlp

pingler is absolutely brilliant. I will certainly be using this in the future.

benjovi

I think it's great. Pingomatic seem to be available so Pingler.com is gorgeous for pinging static sites.

andee

Hi Forum.

I too really like pingler and won't bother with any of the others again unless pingler starts playing up or goes off line at some point. So I have a question that has always baffled me and I've never really been able to find a 'definite' answer to, as opinions seem varied. So here goes:

I've just added 1 new page and updated 2 existing pages to a static site. All of the pages are interlinked. Therefore, should i just PING one of the pages and assume the links on that page will be crawled resulting in those pages being updated too, or should i PING each URL seperately.

I've love to know the correct answer to this if any one can help.

Thanks in advance

Andee

breakdance

Hey Andee, what I've *always* done is ping EACH individual page (that's new or updated), even though I think the search engines crawl the other links that are found on your site as well...
