Short 'n' Simple Ping List

For many, Ping 'o Matic pings enough services -- but not all. By default, Wordpress automatically uses Ping 'o Matic, but its effect is diminishing because of the thousands (or millions) that currently use it.

The Long List

Word of caution: your feed will likely be everywhere after using all of these services, and you're almost guaranteed to get scraped by autoblogs. I recommend you install this wordpress plugin if you use a full feed on your blog.

    A good way would be to use this plugin as well : cbnet Ping Optimizer.

    It prevents you blog to ping systematically your posts every time you edit them.

      Whatever you decide to do with pinging service, just remember that Google likes to see naturally growing, organic traffic.

      A domain that's just freshly registered with a scarcely populated WP blog, filled with perfectly LSI'ed and keyworded text that suddenly has 4000 backlinks in an afternoon, from 40,000 differently pinged sources is NOT natural and will more than likely just keep your site from growing up big a strong.

      Also, my feeling is that those links Google decides aren't natural it tags as not true backlinks to your site, at least on a timeout of some kind with an algorithmic check of your growth at a later date.

      Hi
      I presently found that cbnet Ping Optimizer is pinging a lot... after it's set time in the settings. It just massively pings...??

      And when accessing the settings page ... it's not rescinding or takes forever to load / show up if at all? Anyone else?

    This post should get moved to the SEO section, but that aside, what people need to understand is that all these pinging services are completely irrelevant if you have half-decent content. I have sites that are mini-authority sites in their niche, and when I post a new article, the Google bot is on my site almost instantly, and the page is cached and then listed in the SERPS within minutes (and usually ranking top ten for its main, niche-specific keywords), and all I use is the default ping in the standard Wordpress setup (honestly, I haven't looked for ages, maybe it's Pingomatic, I can't remember).

    So don't get too bogged down in this whole pinging thing...

    I'm missing what you think you're achieving by doing this.

    Sure - 8 years ago it was worth pinging new pages.

    Now - irrelevant.

    If you're going to do something to get your new pages found you might aswell be building links. Even just sharing your rss feed will be enough. 1 link that Google will follow will get your whole site found.

    Pinging is not required and doesn't get you anything you wouldn't already get by doing some marketing of your site.

    There are so many other activities that get you visited that any time spent pinging is time wasted.

    nothing to see here.

      Hi warriors,

      I have been doing link building for almost a year, I still don't know how this pinging thing works.

      can anyone help me with this?
