Using Pinging Service To Promote Your Blog
One of the greatest tools built into the Wordpress blogging platform is the update services tool. This tool allows you to notify a list of websites that you specify for Wordpress to ping or let them know that your blog is adding new content and tells the website to check your blog for updates. Why use update services or ping services?
First, you are letting various websites and search engines that your site has updated. For example: Your update list is set to ping Google. So you publish a new post and Wordpress pings Google, now Google adds your blog to it’s to crawl list. This not only allows your posts to reach search engines, bookmarking sites, and social networking sites but does it with no effort on your part.
As a blogger, you want to get your content out as fast as possible and Wordpress’ update service makes it possible with little work other than adding a list of pinging services to your updates services in Wordpress.
A list of ping services that you should add is available from Wordpress.
