Automatic Blog Pinging
Its been a while since I set up a new blog and being a lazy person I don’t like visiting every single site to register my site each server. In this situation its often nice to use a pinging service. When you ping a server, you are saying hello and I’ve got some new content for you to index. This is pretty much the same deal as registering with a search engine, except with directories you only have to tell them about your site the once. Where as with pinging the idea is to provide a means of telling servers about your site or blog every time you have added some new content.
I myself sometimes individually ping services to make sure they have worked properly and other times I am just lazy like everyone else! Using an automated service does have its negatives as you never can be completely if the ping was received without problems. There’s nothing like doing this yourself, rather than relying on a third party application.
Even so, I don’t have time to visit all the pinging sites every time I change something on one of my blogs. So I tend to make use of the services below:
