Are You Ruining Your Blog Traffic by Ping Spamming?

WordPress Tips Add comments

Hey thanks for popping in to check out my blog! Be sure to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!


I just found out today from this post at quickonlinetips, that if you are using WordPress and letting it ping the default service that’s built-in, rpc.pingomatic.com and then in addition using pingoat.com, you end up double-pinging some of the services because there’s crossover between the two tools. This amounts to ping spamming and you get penalized for that.

The solution?

Use the WordPress Compressed All-Inclusive Ping List

This is a list of the top ping services with no overlap. Just copy and paste the following list into the text area at the bottom of the page located here: Options > Writing Options > Update Services

http://rpc.pingomatic.com
http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates
http://bulkfeeds.net/rpc
http://ping.myblog.jp
http://ping.bitacoras.com
http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/
http://bblog.com/ping.php

And now every time you post, you will automatically ping all the services you need to with no manual pinging required. (and no problems with accidental ping spamming.)

Happy pinging!
