    WordPress Ping List for Better WordPress SEO

    by Harsh Agrawal

    WordPress ping list are very useful to extend your blog reach to major search engines. We all know that blog has a big advantage over static/dynamic sites in the form of Ping. If you are not aware of pinging feature ofWordPress ping list WordPress, then here are my 2 cents for you.

    When ever you publish, edit or modify a post, WordPress sends ping to all the Ping services which is listed under your ping update service. So this way, ping services get notified about new post and search engine will quickly index them.

    Now by default WordPress notifies all major ping services but we can always extend our limit by pinging more services by adding them manually.

    Over the time, I have compiled a list of ping services for WordPress, which will help you to ping more services. Here is list of my working WordPress ping list:

    Here is a quick guide for newbie to add these pink update services.

    How to add or update WordPress ping list:

    Login to your WordPress dashboard. Go to Writing under settings tab and scroll down to update services and add all the above ping list. Here is  a screenshot for quick understanding:

    wordpress-ping-services

    Though, pinging is useful but excessive pinging is bad and WordPress has one major issue with pinging. Do you know, when ever you edit your old blog post or make any changes to any post, WordPress ping that post again. It’s useful when you are making major change, but if you are making some minor change to many blog posts, it’s bad for your blog and excessive pinging lead to ping spam. To control this feature of WordPress, you can use plugin like Cbnet Ping optimizer which controls the excessive pinging. It pings the blog post when you publish a new post.

    Well, controlling WordPress ping update services is just first step to SEO and there are many things which you need to do to SEO optimization of your blog. You can refer to my WordPress guide for more comprehensive and detailed post on WordPress.

    Above mentioned ping list notifies different search engine when your new post goes live and thus major search engine indexes it quickly.

    I also use http://www.blogbuzzer.com for manually pinging. But it doesn’t cover so many links.

    It happens only when you publish the post as it has to ping all the service.. But till now I have not seen any significant impact.

    hey,
    this is too good. Thanx a lot for sharing this list.
    Just wondering to know, when we publish a post and wordpress pings these services – is there a way to know and see which ones have been pinged succesfully and which ones not. I mean, is there any log within wordpress where we can find out this.
    Thanx anyways for the list.

    That’s an awful lot of ping sites Harsh :) Anyway, I did get what I wanted most from this post and that was that excessive pinging is bad for your SEO. Is there anyway we can turn off the WP functionality without having to install a plugin? I mean only for revisions. That would be great.

    Reply

    Harsh Agrawal

    I’m not sure if we can stop post pinging for editing old post without any plugin. For now You can use plugin like maxblogpress ping optimizer or similar plugin.

    Reply

    Shyam S. Sharma

    We can use cbnet ping otimizer. It’s similar to MBP ping optimizer and no need to registration.

    Reply

    Kimi

    I agree, I also use cbnet ping optimizer to avoid email listing of maxblogpress.

    In fact, cBnet is available to install inside the dashboard of our blogs.

    This way, somehow I feel more sure about a plugin which is listed in wordpress plugins database directly from wordpress.org website.

    Though I am sure MBP plugin is also great.
