Pinging – Is It Worth Doing Or Not?

On September 26, 2009, in General, Tips & Tricks, by Amir Al Take

According to Wikipedia pinging means following:

In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated.[1] An XML-RPC signal is sent to one or more “ping servers,” which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material. Many blog authoring tools automatically ping one or more servers each time the blogger creates a new post or updates an old one.

Briefly said pinging notifies a server about updates of your content of your blog. That specific server will generate list of newly updated blogs and let people know about it.

Can it bring traffic?

There have been lots of speculations about can pinging bring traffic or not. According to my and other people experiences I have noticed that it really brings traffic. About the amount of traffic that how much it can bring it is impossible to say because this fact depends on people interest. However the more you have pinging addresses the more you have chance to get more traffic.

Also remember that traffic is not guaranteed. This is good and easy way that might bring you traffic because you don’t have to do anything but to add those services ping addresses. I highly recommend that you track your traffic when you have setup those ping addresses because then you can see that from which service(s) your traffic is coming.

How to setup pings?

Setting up ping address to your blog is very easy. Here’s quick instruction how to do it.

Login to your admin page of your blog.
Go to Settings/Options section and go to Writing.
Scroll down to see section called “update services”
Paste all your ping addresses here and click Save changes.

How to find ping address?

When you find some of server’s that have pinging possibility you can find there their ping address. If you don’t find any don’t worry I have listed here over 120 ping addresses that you can use.

All you have to do for those addresses is to copy and paste them into your “update services” field which is located in Writing section.

Spam pinging

Spam pinging means pinging very frequently about same or another post/article. This is very bad move because sometime when you ping to some servers it might “damage” your blogging pinging because that specific can consider your blog pinging as spam. In worst case if user spam ping own blog server will not accept anymore any pinging from that blog. So be careful.
