I used to have a short ping list. In fact, I was using only one and this one ping list is supposed to ping all the others but I noticed that it is not pinging fast enough so I decided to search for a long ‘raw’ ping list.
But first, what exactly is a ping list? Modern blogging software such as Wordpress can be configured to ping - that is to notify - certain websites when new posts are made. Usually, these websites are blog search engines or the like. It’s a blog software’s way of announcing to the world that ‘Hey, I have a new post for you, include it in your database now.’ This means that a ping list is important.
What are the benefits of having a ping list? It’s important to Search Engine Optimization. Also, you’ll be amazed by how much traffic this simple thing brings to your site. There are people who receive traffic to their new post within minutes after posting. So this again is important.
Wordpress Ping List How To (or Howto if you like).
Next, how do you configure your blogging software to send out these notices? I can’t speak for other blogging softwares but I can tell you how to do it in Wordpress. First click “Options” then “Writing” then scroll down to the bottom and you’ll see a textbox labeled “Update Services”. Put in your ping list there and click “Update Options” and you’re all done.
Now, here is my ping list. Feel free to use it.
