Ping Your Blog

What is the  Blog  Pinging Service

The  Blog  Pinging Service is a way to inform Blog Search of weblog updates. These updates are then published and shared with other search engines to allow them to discover the changes to your weblogs.

Many people are confused about what exactly pinging is in regards to weblogging. I'll try to explain what's going on here.

First, go check out a few weblog tracking places where you can see recently updated lists:
(1)Blo.gs (2) Weblogs.com 

(3)Blogrolling

 

 

 

The main way these sites learn that a weblog has been updated, is for the weblog software to 'ping' the weblog trackers.

Here's How it works: {Logic behind}

After careful thought, you post something new on your weblog.
The new stuff is excellent, but nobody knows you've updated your site.

  Sending out a ping is like raising the red flag on the mailbox to tell the mailman you have new mail to be sent.  In this case, you are telling the weblog tracking sites that your site has been updated.

Configuring Movable Type to do this is simple.  I use MT, so I don't have any good instructions for people that use another weblogging tool.

{Technology Behind}

In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated.

An XML-RPC signal is sent to one or more "ping servers," which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material.

XML-RPC is a Remote Procedure Calling protocol that works over the Internet.

An XML-RPC message is an HTTP-POST request. The body of the request is in XML. A procedure executes on the server and the value it returns is also formatted in XML.

 

How Can I Do That :

There are two ways you can do this.

{1}Manual Ping

The manual method of pinging Google is to simply go to http://blogsearch.google.com/ping and enter your blogs URL every time your blog is updated. This is the straight forward method but many will prefer the Automatic Ping method  below.

after manually pinging google blog search, the URL returned - which appears in the navigation toolbar - can be bookmarked and reused.

{2}Automatic Ping

If you want Wordpress to automatically ping Google every time you update your blog, then you will need to add http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 to your Update Services box in your Wordpress admin area. This is found in the options/writing section of the admin area and by default Pingomatic (http://rpc.pingomatic.com) will already be in the text box.

While Pingomatic already pings a number of services for you, by adding Google’s ping url to the Update Services list you are sure to increase your blogs exposure on the net. For more information on ping lists and a comprehensive list of update services see the Wordpress Compressed All Inclusive Ping List .
