How would you let the search engines or other directories know that you have updated you blog? For example you have posted a new article or even some people have commented on an existing article. You want to let the search engines know that you have updated your blogs and that those changes should be reflected in their indexes, so if someone searches for what you have posted, your update shows up.
There are some services on the Internet that do this for you. You could go to http://pingomatic.com or http://pingoat.com and there are many more services that do the same thing for you.
It is important to know that you should ping your web site or blog only when some changes have been made to it. If you overdo it, you may be ignored by some of the services, and they may not accept any pings from your address.
When you go to any of the services above, there are three fields you need to fill in so you can ping you blog. “Blog name”, “Blog URL”, and “XML Feed” “XML Feed” is usually optional but you can fill in that one as well. It is actually the RSS Feed of your blog. You can find its address if you right click on the RSS icon on your blog.
Happy pinging….
