Ping Pong For Blogs

Do you ping?  A “ping” is like ringing the doorbell of the search engines.  If you do ping,  then many pongs will come.  :-)   This may not be an issue if you’re using Movable Type, WordPress, Typepad, or Drupal 6.11.  But consider pinging to Ping-o-Matic!, if your system is not configured to do so. Ping-o-Matic pings to the most important blog search engines and directories in one spot.  If your blog application doesn’t support pinging automatically to “Ping-o-Matic!”, you can do so manually by visiting Ping-o-Matic!  Once you type your blog name and blog URL, you simply check where to ping and click “submit ping” button.  Don’t forget to bookmark the site.   It gives you the convenience of not having to crawl the site again looking for what you need.

By pinging you make search engine spiders crawl your site more frequently, and make your readers aware of your site sooner.

Oh, and one more good idea  is to visit “Technorati“  which is the definitive search engine for blogs.  You can ping your blog there also.  I always visit a few of the sites that are listed on Ping-o-Matic for good measure,  in case of technical difficulty.  And yes, I have had trouble at times playing ping pong with my blogs.

There you have it …… Table Tennis for your Blog !!!
