Who Do you PING ?

[Loco.M]

Do you add any sites to the default ping list in wordpress ?
If so, please list them here.

I found this list

I'm wondering if it's still up to date.


Thanks

Pinging is not as important as it used to be, now the bots do the work for you.

I have a large ping list, but mostly from the thread listed in the original post...

[sat123]

http://rpc.pingomatic.com/

I think that alone would ping many other sites if u ping it...

[dnordstrom]

Do I really benefit from pinging tens of sites rather than the Ping-O-Matic default?

[sat123]

an updated list is here too...u may check it..

The biggest problem with pinging multiple sites is making sure that you don't ping the same sites multiple times... it will flag you as spam submission and get your blog/site ignored.

Many ping sites now accept pings from 'ping aggregators' and so the possibility of being labelled spam increases if you do not maintain your ping list.

Pingomatic pings several sites as does pingoat - with both pinging several similar sites.

My advice is to go with either a ping aggregator OR listing each individual ping site. If mixing an aggregator with additional site pings then the danger of duplicate pings increases.

The downside of all site pings is it will require more maintenance to ensure they are still active pings.

Does pinging also work on forums or no?

[sat123]

they would work for any site with RSS Feeds and updating contesnt i think..
