One-Click Ping Tools to Update Search Engines and RSS Trackers
September 4th, 2005How can you update multiple search engines, RSS feed tracking services and blog directories about your latest blog article. Blog and Ping! There are many ping lists available and many pinging tools which can do this in one click.
Pinging lets dozens of services which specifically track and connect blogs to know you’ve updated so they can come check you out. I was using Pingomatic for several months, but maybe it has become so popular with bloggers, that it many times does not connect for me or works very slow. So what are alternatives to Pingomatic?
Pingomatic Alternatives
So I set out to look for alternative pinging services that ping or notify a number of blogging services that keep track of weblogs and publish them. By pinging, you let the services know that your blog has been updated and hence, they crawl and index your site, publishing your blog contents, thus increasing your blog’s popularity.
Remember pinging is important if you use feedburner feed since feedburner will come crawling around after you ping it and update your feed with the latest content. And based on its content other blog tracking services will update.

I have found that pingoat does not seem to work at all. I now primarily use AutoPinger. It seems to work great, and it least it pretends like it’s doing something
I`ve used this list in wordpress. Thanks a lot.
thanks for the links :D
I’ve just released a faster version of the typical xml-rpc ping service, it’s called PingNinja and will ping all the major services (just like the ones listed above) just this will use RANDOM IP addresses so that it won’t be labeled as spam (another problem with most of those listed above, they’ve been so overused that their server ip automatically redflags all new sites that get pinged) .
Its also 2-4x faster than any other online ping service…and is 100% free (there aren’t even ads on the site). Check it out for yourself and see what I mean about the speed difference.
To ping or not to ping, that is the question!
Answer!? PINGG!!
Thanks for sharing!
