hello, i think this question is stupid but for me this is important... hope you can explain and help me with this....
do you have a blog to ping or a website ? if website then you have to submit it to all the search engines just type in the search engine which you want to submit the site "submit my site to search engine name" that will work .. however if you want to ping your blog then goto pingomatic.com
If you have an rss feed then you can use the software that pings various blogs. http://www.pingoat.com/
You need to get your site which has pinging feature.. And use ppinging feature to let pinged sites to know u updated ur site.... This is funny
If your blog is running on Wordpress there's an area in your control panel where you can add/delete any websites that you want to automatically ping your website.
Really Funny but still has some logic behind it .. To check your own site you can do that. But for your site to be indexed quickly you need to go ahead with pinging with RPC tools Use RPC ping tools .. like Pingomatic , pigoat and others .
Try also autopinger.com. You just only type the url of your site and then click enter key. That's it.
Try the google pinger and other ping services. Just type the URL, Description , select the blog resources and click enter. Ping is better if you have new post on your blog.
thanx for all this info.i wanted to learn about pinging and now this thread guided me.thanx for the links.it did took me ages to find them if you all hadnt posted.thanx once again
STOP USING SITES. ok ill tell you how to ping a site 1) go to start/run/ then type cmd then ok 2) type ping then leave a space and then the site e.g [ping www.google.com.au] without the []'s 3) you will get a number from the host e.g 72.14.253.99 which is googles so there you have it the easy way to ping
You can also use some pinging software if you need more data. There are many available for free on the net for download.
