WordPress Ping List – Just a short blog post to share my recommended WordPress ping list (also known as update services) with you. I gathered this information from both personal experience and external resources and you may use it for your own WordPress blog(s) of course.
Ping services are tools that you can use to let other people know that you have updated your blog. Every time you publish a new blog post or update an existing one, WordPress notifies these update services, so people visiting sites like Technorati can find your most recent posts.
If you aren’t too sure where to add these, log into WordPress and go to the ‘Writing Settings’ section. Click ‘Writing’ under ‘Settings’. Then simply add the WordPress ping list to the dedicated text box, so when you publish a new blog post, WordPress automatically notifies these sites and you get more exposure.

WordPress Ping List
If you have any suggestions of sites to add to this WordPress ping list, feel free to leave a comment. We would actually love to hear from you! On a side note, make sure you start reading my series of hot topics, starting with keyword research tips and tools. Stay tuned for more!
I'm an avid fan of your blog, and the content is always top notch - great reading. I'm always impressed with the variety of content and the way you get all the important steps outlined for processes, but still manage to keep it short and simple - few people do that quite as well.

Hi Yaniv,
Thanks for sharing that… do you have a good WordPress ping list you can share with readers?
Colin –
Thank you for this great list of sites to ping. Pinging your sites is one the best and most underutilized ways to drive traffic to your site and improve your site rank. I would also recommend pinging your “Twitter Stream” … yes, I said your Twitter stream – ping it everyday.
Thank you for providing as always – actionable content!

Yes, we ping our twitter feeds and promote them as well! Yep, drive links to your twitter feeds… increase the PR so that when you post your links, you get some juice (although twitter links seem to be no follow, so still studying their effect as an inbound link)
An alternative would be to automate ping such as at http://www.pingblogs.us/
