What Wordpress Update Services Should You Be Using on Your Wordpress Blog?

[webestate]

I have been told that pingomatic.com is all that you need however yesterday I went to a conference and others were recommending to have a good list of pinging services to cover all your bases

Here are 4 that have been recommended:

pingomatic

technorati

blogsearch.google.com

feedburner

Any others that should be included on this list?  My goal is not to spam these ping lists however want to make sure my content is getting indexed quickly

Hi, Ive been using wordpress for a while now and am just starting to look at this.

I have two questions;

1. What are the benefits of adding more update services (as mentioned above)?

2. Is it just as simple as adding these in (comma seperated) under setting: writing - update services? Or do you need to register with each one?

Thanks in advance
