Pinging Google

    Hi,

    Lately, I have noticed that the time between my posts are published and show up in my Google Reader is getting longer and longer.

    It used to take from a few minutes to a couple of hours... and now it can take up to a day!

    Any idea why? And how can I improve that?

    I usually post about three times a week, but it's too bad that my readers, most of them using some kind of RSS feed reader, only know about them hours later.

    Google announced that they will accept pings to their blogsearch service. Hopefully Pingomatic will support it soon so you don't need to update your Update.
    Thanks

    I have noticed the same thing. It use to be much quicker now it takes up to 12 hours or so....I ping it manually.

    Add a lot of ping services to your ping list. Sometimes it is better that Google get notified by social media than your sitemap plugin itself :)

    I have a list of ping services mentioned here:
