Mass Pinging / Ban

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by advancedfuture, Mar 17, 2006.

    I was wondering if anyone could shed light on the following.

    I have written about 15 articles I want to upload to my wordpress blog. Now if I do that, and upload them they will send out a ping for each article.

    Will the pinging services not like getting a ping every few minutes 15 times as I upload each article and ban my address?

    Thanks =)

    I'm not sure but uploading all at once is not a good idea.

    If you upload one then ping, then you can get the maximum possible traffic for that ping. Then upload another then ping again. This way you get the most traffic per ping.

    I'm not sure but you might try this... I don't know if this is the way it works thoggh.

    you set a timestamp for publishing a particular article... if you set the stamp in the future, does the ping happen at the time specified or when the post is saved?... if the ping happened at the specified time then you could set each article to display at seperate times.... like have each post come on line 15 minutes after the last one..

    just thinking out loud...

    I used to publish 3-4 articles a day on one of my blogs, they would be scheduled for future publishing 4-5 hours apart. Then I noticed I was getting traffic from splogspot.com, a spam database run by pingoat.com.

    I emailed pingoat to remove me and why I was there in the first place. They never told me why (but he did whitelist me) and I suspect it was because I was pinging 4 times within the same hour.

    So to conclude... it's still pinging at the time the article is created. My only solution (with WordPress, at least) is to remove the address from WP's auto-ping feature and manually ping pingoat.com (like what just-4-teens suggested).

    Use post-dating as was suggested, that really works. Pings are sent at time of publication.

    BTW, I hate Pingoat. They always "accidentally" ban me, then I beg and get unbanned. I'm sick of it. I don't even attempt to ping them anymore. The fella who runs it is a real zealot.

    You really don’t have to ping each post separately, it won’t do any difference. I know WP has an automatic pinging function but I think it will only ping after you have finished uploading all of them. I personally use Pingaot and it only lets you ping the same blog every few minutes.

    It's actually a good thing you stopped pinging pingoat, cuz it appears (I just found out a few hours ago) that they've stopped accepting pings via XMLRPC. For some reason the guy who just bought pingoat turned that feature off.

    Funny I never had any problem with them. But it was bought a few weeks ago so things could have changed.
