Pinging Non-Blog Pages To Technorati

    The auto ping feature of Wordpress is really nice for pinging your new blog posts straight to technorati and other places. Typically this is a fast way of getting indexed by blogsearch engines, and is a nice way to help the regular Google spider find the non-blog pages you are pointing to from your blog post.

    But what is to stop you pinging technorati et al with a non-blog URL?

    Is it possible and useful to ping with the URLs of newly updated static site pages?

    What are the requirements for pinging?
    Need tags? If so what requirements?
    Need RSS feed?

    Thanks in advance for everyone's good advice on this.

    you must only ping your site to technorati.

    there is no rule for pinging. you only need one rss feed to ping your site to technorati:)

    that's all

    How did you setup vBulletin to ping Technocrati?

    I used the normal URL and all I get in Technocrati is this:

    I think I have figured it out. There is a Pinger product mod at vbulletin.org

    So, can you create an ad-hoc RSS feed for your static page and ping using that?

    Ok, actually after playing with it a little bit, I have found an even better solution.

    You can add any RSS feed to http://www.autopinger.com/
    They grab this feed every 30 minutes and ping it to a selection of different services. (up to 51 depending on your settings)

    This is pretty cool. I have setup a feed for vbulletin and will create a custom feed for my portal site.

    I have tested creating an RSS feed for a normal page using the tool at:
    http://www.feedity.com/

    As recommended by Scubish, I submitted this fake feed at Autopinger.

    So far no results at all, but I will keep an eye on logs.

    Another thing you can do is to log-in to your Technorati account and save pages as Favorites, with tags.

    It works just as well as pinging in terms of people searching on Technorati for tagged articles on their subjects to read or blog about.
