Should I ping Each New Article And How Will It Help Me

[ClaireH-184886]

Hi I am looking for advice to get my new articles out there and my news stories. I would like to know if i should ping my articles and news stories each time i write a new one and if so which ping services do you recommend and what do they really do.

Can anyone recommend any other services that i could use to promote my new articles and news stories to gain more traffic.

Many thanks

Yes, ping every article you post.

Depending on your platform will dictate what you can do. If you're on wordpress, they have a built in system that automatically does that for you.

I'm sure other systems have them in place as well, but I am not familiar with them.

If you need to manually do it, here are a few sites I am aware of:

pingler.com

pingoat.com

Good luck!

I ping numerous services at all once automatically, simply add this list to your Ping Services in your WordPress installation:

hi, how can i add these ping services to one service. I use joomla so i do not think they have an automatic ping service. What will it actuall do for my site and for attracting visitors to my site.

If you mean to use ping services in order to have your new article indexed, than the fastest and surest ping is system is Google+ itself (as once was Twitter).

Just few minutes after shared a link on G+, it's visited by Googlebot and indexed.

If you use Joomla you can install a component in order to use ping services like in Wordpress.

Just do a search in Google like this one

You could try these pinging services below as I used these quiet a lot to ping our blog and news stories.

thanks andrew, i use these at the moment, just wondering if there is one where it will ping all the sites at once.

have tried buying a k2 ping tool for my joomla 1.5 site but it does not work with the 1.5 site which is a sahme as it would make it a lot easier if it was done automatically like word press.

is there a tool that will allow you to enter all the ping sites that are availabe and then enter the details like pingomatic and enter the url that you want to ping which will then ping all the ping site that you want.
