Hi There, I hope my fellow DP members can help me on this: I have just started a new blog on WordPress 2.7; so far I have just done the basics, i.e. changed the theme, created a few pages and a couple posts. What I want is to configure my blog so as that it automatically 'pings' as many sites as possible whenever I make a post. I remember a particular Internet Marketer setting this up and he had a list of sites to ping to including the popular pingomatic. Does anyone have a complete list and HOW do I go about setting this up? Thanks for reading and I hope I have made my query clear!
I have found how to change the 'pinging sites'. Its under the 'settings tab' and then the 'writing tab' and then at the bottom titled: 'update services' At the present moment it only has the one site: http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ Who has a complete list for me to add???
Ping -o-matic services a large number of sites. adding too many ping services will be redundant and may be seen as spamming. here a few others that may hit a few more: http://api.feedster.com/ping http://api.moreover.com/RPC2 http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2 http://xping.pubsub.com/ping/ http://ping.blo.gs/ http://ping.feedburner.com http://ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php http://ping.weblogalot.com/rpc.php http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/ http://rpc.icerocket.com:10080/ http://rpc.newsgator.com/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2 http://topicexchange.com/RPC2 http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2 http://www.blogstreet.com/xrbin/xmlrpc.cgi http://www.newsisfree.com/RPCCloud http://ping.weblogs.se/ http://blogmatcher.com/u.php http://coreblog.org/ping/ http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates http://bulkfeeds.net/rpc http://trackback.bakeinu.jp/bakeping.php http://ping.myblog.jp http://ping.bitacoras.com http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/ http://ping.blogmura.jp/rpc/ http://xmlrpc.blogg.de http://1470.net/api/ping http://bblog.com/ping.php http://blog.goo.ne.jp/XMLRPC This list seems to be updated for 2008 here
THANKS!!! MUCH APPRECIATED!! However, what list shall I use, as you provide some conflicting information on your site - where it states 'updated for 2008'
It's not my list, nor my article. I actually believe that you don't need that many, maybe 5 at the most.
