Ping sites, what are they?
Pinging is basically the process of sending a small piece of code by the concerned blog to the pinging service. What does that code contains. Pingoat, the premium pinging services says…
A blog ping is just a piece of text, in simple words. It’ll contain your blog name and the url. It is usually prepared in the XML format. The servers that accept ping have special programs for accepting and processing these ‘XML pings’.
Why should I use pinging
Today’s blogging world is really competitive. It is vaguely said out of the 100 posts being published on blogs, only 1 contains the content which has actually been created. Out of the rest, 9 add some value to the already available content. Out of the rest 90, only 40, transform that information into their own words, and the rest 50 simply post the same content to their blogs….rather splogs.
So you can imagine, how challenging it is to survive and grow, in this world of market driven economy, where blog promotion is the key to success.
So, how to promote your blog fast
In this era of cut-throat competition, there is a rush to break the news at the earliest. Sometimes, blogosphere reminds me of the TV news channels, which compete with each other to break the news before others. Similar is the case with blogs.
Every blogger wants that his post is available to readers and search engines and blog search services before others. And Pinging is the service, which plays a major role in it. So, if you want to quickly circulate your blog posts to the maximum number of readers, it is recommended that you include following top pinging sites, and configure your wordpress blog to automatically ping these 65 great pinging services.

Update: Yet another list of 75 pinging services are available at Binh Dot Com. You may check for your self, because some of the entries may be common in both the lists.
We assume, that you already know how to configure your wordpress blog to automatically ping these services each time you publish a new blog post.
In case you do not know, just go to Options > Writing and copy/ paste this list in the box of list of update services.
P.S.: Including so many of pinging services to your Wordpress might slow your posting. In order to ping these services in the background, and not affect your speed, your can install the nice Wordpress plugin called No Ping Wait.
December 5th, 2007 at 8:43 pm
Interesting… 65 ping services. I guess I need to check my list of 75 ping services.
December 5th, 2007 at 9:18 pm
This is a great list, I will have to double check the list I already use.
December 5th, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Great list, never knew these many existed.
December 5th, 2007 at 11:24 pm
@Nirmal, Dave: Yes, this list is really useful.
December 5th, 2007 at 11:56 pm
@Binh: I checked that list of yours and updated my post above.
Nice information.
December 6th, 2007 at 5:26 am
Do we need to sign up with those ping sites first?
December 6th, 2007 at 9:39 am
Thank you so much for this list! I’ve only been using one service, I had no idea there were so many.
December 6th, 2007 at 6:05 pm
@Kitkat: No need to signup. Start using them.
@Amy, Even I didn’t know.
December 7th, 2007 at 9:32 am
Kitkat and “Admin” ->>>> Yes, some of the sites you do need to sign up and link back first. I wrote that on my “75 ping services” post. I still didn’t manage time to check up all of them as the list is too long.
I’m waiting for people who would vote for me to test them out at my post. So if you like, please comment there and I will arrange time to do so.
BTW, admin please change your display name otherwise it’s a bit hard for us to communicate.
Cheers,
Binh

Great list.didn’t know there were so many ping services.And by the way, I was very pleasantly surprised when clicking on your blog promotion link and finding my blog there.Thanks so much for this, it is much appreciated.
December 7th, 2007 at 11:43 am
@Binh: Done. Thanks, you are giving real useful tips for improvement.
@Mari: It is as per your request.
December 14th, 2007 at 1:16 am

December 14th, 2007 at 2:38 am
@Techbliss: Your welcome. Keep visiting.
December 17th, 2007 at 1:01 pm
Hey, that Idetrorce sure is annoying. He put exactly the same message on my blog on here: http://www.binh.name/2007/11/21/wordpress-theme-for-christmas/#comment-357
And I saw his annoying comment exactly put on a few more blogs, so just ignore it.
I really don’t understand why people are so annoying.
December 18th, 2007 at 2:29 am
Wow, what a long list, will check it out now!
January 19th, 2008 at 10:17 pm
Great List, thanks!
January 31st, 2008 at 8:30 pm
Try the pinggoat service. I don’t know how much spam it will result in, but it does work pretty well
February 17th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
what a great resource, thanks!
June 23rd, 2008 at 8:31 pm
Here’s another ping url. I tested it in wordpress and it definitely works

it’s nice resource…to get traffix..!
June 26th, 2008 at 10:34 am
Thanks edi.

IT IS UNFOTURNATE THOSE LINKS ABOVE ARE NOT WORKING. BUT YOU CAN GET SOME FREE TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR PROMOTION BLOGS AND DOMAIN AT http://WWW.TIWORKINGTOOLS.BLOGSPOT.COM
August 14th, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Wow… This is an awesome list. Definitely adding this one to our bookmarks. Thanks!
October 5th, 2008 at 2:28 am
Quite a big list, this one. I would recommend pinging FeedBurner, Google and Pingomatic (which will ping others), because pinging can slow down posting. And using a plugin to remove that delay is even more strenous
PS: The comment above mine seems like spam, don’t you remove spam comments?
October 20th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
This is a great list, I will have to double check the list I already use.
November 11th, 2008 at 7:16 am
great list! thanks for sharing this information. Right now I’m having problem with Ping-o-matic, it’s always down

February 21st, 2009 at 3:04 pm
i think I’ve discovered this list too late already, because every ping site i tried just now is not working. ;-(
March 8th, 2009 at 9:12 am

March 29th, 2009 at 11:50 pm

What are your favourite (lyrical) themes in music?
Are there any you don’t like?
I generally dislike love-songs.. or these girl power-thingies you see on MTV (but I guess that’s normal for a guy).
Of the music I actually listen to I’m not particular fond of the workers ethics in classic rock songs.. you know, about the booze and the relationships that don’t really go your way
I also dislike the superficial ‘love for everything’-mumbo jumbo in new age music, it’s so cheesy..
And the gore and porno-themes in some heavy metal.
Politics are also a real turn-off for me. Either I disagree with the views (and thus feel annoyed) or because it’s too down to earth (I prefer fantasy).
My favourite themes are culture & history, mysticism and the occult, fantasy, war, nature, solitude and anger/hatred. Quite the bombastic stuff.

My bed times have been all over the place for the last year basically. When I was working last summer I had to get up really early (about 4.45am) because my job was an early start so I would go to bed about 9pm, 10pm at the latest. Then when I went to college and moved away from my parents house my bed times went crazy and I was going to bed at like 1am or 3am and now I’m back home for the summer but working a later shift in my job my bed times are pretty late, average about 1am.
What about everyone else?

wow great i really love this its so great
September 14th, 2009 at 4:57 am
You can really over-ping websites using long lists of xml-rpc ping services. A good chunk of them will actually go ahead and ping a lot of other sites every time that you ping theirs. What ends up happening is your blog pings sites like google 10x every time that you post. To ensure you don’t get labeled as spam you should do it manually. No it’s not tedious, it actually takes 2 seconds of entering your website address and hitting “submit.” A good one to use is PingNinja. Its about 3x faster than pingler or pingomatic, doesn’t have any ads and uses randomly rotated IP addresses so that the site doesn’t overping any of the services itself!
