    Hi, recently I came across a post saying wordpress blogs unnecessarily ping every time you edit your post and this can lead to ping spam.

    But I can't find any plugin that supports wordpress version 3.0 or above. My question is Is ping optimizer plugin required for wordpress version 3.0 and above???

    I have essentially the same question, except I question whether these types of plug-ins are necessary at all...

    I know the reasons people usually cite, my concern is that over editing will cause multiple pings. I've heard it said that ping services will typically only ban you for a certain period of time anyway (ie: 24hrs etc)

    Does anyone have any experience one way or the other?

    Can someone give me a reason to ping? I've tried testing pings to certain pages and can not seem to get them crawled, let alone indexed. I can't see, to find a correlation to pinging and indexing. Anone have any thouughts or suggestions?
