Hi Arindam,
Very informative one, many bloggers will be helped with this info. Keep posting, best wishes
This is a dated list and a lot of them do not work.
Isn’t there software that will do this for you?
There are few available in the market which can cost you few bucks. If you are having blog platform other than wordpress, you can try out pingomatic.com/ or similar kind of services.
Actually, my site uses WordPress MU, but I’ll have a look at it anyway!
I am not getting Updated Services link my wordpress account, can you please suggest, how to find this in the new version of wordpress
Go to “your blog url/wp-admin/options-writing.php”, scroll down, you’ll find the option
Dear Mr Arindam
I’ve downloaded your ping list.
Please excuse my non-technical stupidity.
I tried randomly & surfed some of the list, they are not functioning …
Do I need to join their membership ?
How can those blogs list that allow us to “ping” our posts into their blogs, without a need to know the source of the posts ?
Your guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks & regards
James
Hello James,
WordPress sends XML-RPC ping to popular blog search engines’ update services. You can further read update services to know more about it. Some of the update services appear to be down as they say. So they may not work. You can also try out with the list given there.
An alternative to pingomatic is www.pingem.co.uk.
Dear Mr Arindam & Mr Daniel
Your replies are helpful to me. Thanks a lot.
I yet have a lot of things to learn. Hopefully you guys will keep on posting informative info.
Dear Daniel
Thanks for your suggestion on pingomatic & pingem.co.uk.
One question to ask : If I’ve written an article and intend to ping it, can I ping through the 2 above providers ? Or only ping one of it ?
Why I’ve this question because I’m afraid the search engines may blacklist me for posts spamming if I ping concurrently through 2 service providers and resulting double postings, ie resulting 2 exactly same articles to be posted at each side through pingomatic & pingem.co.uk. …
Hi James,
I can’t give you a definitive answer – you’d have to ask the individual blogging services, however I’ve never found it detrimental to ping them multiple times.
I have a couple of blogs that automatically ping pingomatic and I’ve used Ping ‘em to do it as well without any noticeable issues. I guess if you really abused the systems by constantly sending pings, they’d either start ignoring your requests for a period of time or blacklist you.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
Great list, thank you so much, it is really very helpful to bloggers .
How do you make a ping list for blogspot? And how to you include the ccode into the page?
For blogger, i’m not sure if any such module is there. But you can use manually www.pingoat.com/ each time you make your post. You can try out Windows Live Writer at windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/
