Ping-o-matic

If you are posting 5 times a day you may be moving too fast. You can significantly slow that process down to as low as 4 or 5 posts per week without losing effectiveness. Some even say 2 or 3 posts a week is fine.

Every time you add new content you should ping the page (not your homepage, but the post page). You can also ping Digg and Technorati yes -whenever you add new bookmarks, as well as any other site where you successfully add a backlink.

Thanks

I've heard differently about that subject from lots of people. 5 was only an example. Im writing all my articles before I start posting. I've heard 3 a day will be fine and won't cause any penalty so thats what Im going to try first.

Thanks

I'm not suggesting it will cause a penalty, (even though some people do suggest just that). It's just that you're hard work may have a diminished capacity, since there is a point where writing more content will not have any benefits to your site (with the exception of a page count).

Of course that depends on how often your audience is online. Some tech, gaming and web 2.0 blogs have to post at an accelerated race because their audience is virtually always there. Within your chosen niche (fitness) the audience is paying attention 3 to 5 times a week from my own experience. (I have 7 fitness related sites for over a year, and have closely analyzed these trends)

My point being that if you are just starting out, there's a great need to spend significant time promoting, submitting, analyzing, and doing SEO work to get your blog visible, gain an audience and SERP. So unless you are a multitasking machine or have outsourced your SEO work, it may be worth it to you to even out the workload a bit.

Just friendly advice

Thanks

If it's a WordPress blog it will ping each new post and each update to a post automatically.

If you're not automating pings, don't worry about overpinging. The better services throttle pings to the same URL internally anyway and if you accidentally ping twice every once in a while they won't ban you.

Grab the MaxBlog Press Ping opitmizer plug in. It doesn't matter if you do 5 a day or 5 a week. You work at your own pace.

What you want to avoid is excessive pinging. If you write and publish and don't re-edit your post you don't need the plug in. If you write, publish, post, re-edit, then you do. You want to ping once per article.

Thanks

Use pingler.com and ping the actual post page each time you post, as far as frequency of posting you may want to initially post 1 or 2 posts per day for the first 10 days or so but after that post 3 to 4 times per week and your content will last longer which means less work. You also may want to submit each post to blog carnival depending on what your niche topic is. And this way will also give your posts time to be read and spidered, and lets your readers have time to give you some comments.
