Hi, I've had a blog for a long time. It was already indexed, but had no post in it. Yesterday, I added a 700+ words post to it. Should I ping my site and if so, which pinging tool should i use?

I read somewhere that pining is bad post-penguin; I just wanted to confirm. If pinging is bad, then how can I get my site/post get indexed? Thanks.

    • Hi, thanks for the reply.

      How long does it take to get my post indexed? Also, should I ping my main page (where all my blog posts are shown) and post page separately, or is it enough if I ping my main page alone?
  • Pinging is not bad. Pinging is used for notify search engine to crawl your website although it can be crawled without pinging. Over ping is bad and your site can be tagged as spammer. Pinging not guarantee your site will be indexed. Search engine will index it based on value and quality of your site.
  • Pinging help you get your article index faster... All the sites mentioned in the posts above are good but I personally prefer pingler.com

    • This is indeed the primary benefit of pinging and i can confirm that it still works today just like it did before the penguin update.
  • If your website or article has fresh and unique content then search engine will automatically find it,no need to ping it.Although there is no disadvantage of pinging
  • No, pinging isn't bad. It's just a way for your websites to get indexed by Google or notifying search engines that there's this new content on your website.
  • pinging is bad when it comes to bulk backlink building, in your case go ahead and ping your site and get that page indexed. bulkping, pingfarm may come handy

    • its not bad. it wont give you rankings either. they are used for indexing. it tells search engines that your page have new contents.
  • You can use pingomatic to ping your blog post, its better if you can share your post on social media website, which can helps you in getting traffic and indexing as well.

    • Sounds strange to be #2 already. Make sure you aren't getting personalized results. You can use the tool in my signature if you are unsure.

    • You should clear your Cookies and Cache first. It's Best to check via the official SERP checker of Google: tools4google.com.
      I think it's giving the most reliable SERP information.
