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 of 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.
You can copy the list from WordPress doc file

Thanks in advannce. Waiting for your earliest reply.

Hey HARSH,thanks for the list! But would you please tell how to choose the most valuable ping services? Is it good to add all the address you provided in the post?
Great work, I just updated my list with quality sites. Believing to see best results.
Actually I have a question, Is there any penalty from Google side if we ping these all ping server at once ???.
And what if I use Sitemap submission to google instead of pinging these.
It will be great if you clarify my doubt.

Hi Harsh, this is Pooja.
I am Not getting ping list under WordPress dashboard. Its shows only Default Post Category. Plz Guide me
You will get an option for update services where already a ping is added as http://rpc.pingomatic.com/. Copy paste the given list there after.
Right thanks for helping me.
from your wordpress dashboard, go to ‘Settings’ then from there go to ‘Writing Settings’ you will see where to add the ping list on that page, best of luck
Is this only for Worpress.ORG Accts? Or Self hosting sites? Because I DON’T have this “update service area in the “writing” section on my dashboard settings
Nice List Harsh,
I haven’t seen an updated ping list in a while.
This helps a lot for my new blog. Thank you!
