Hello friends, What is this Ping tool? What is the use of this Ping tool? What are the advantages and the Disadvantages of this Ping Tools? Today I found a Pingler tool - pingler.com Can I use this tool to submit my sites and the blogs?
Ping tools (sometimes called ping commands or utilities) use the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) to determine the availability and responsiveness of network hosts. Ping tools sometimes also provide other related network troubleshooting features. On Microsoft Windows, Linux and Macintosh computers, the 'ping' tool can be run from the operating system command prompt (Terminal applet on Mac OS X). On Macintosh OS X, you can also run the 'ping' tool from inside the Network Utility applet, Ping tab. Several free ping tools are available on the Internet for download.
you're confused ! there is pings as xprifat explained and there is pings (weblogupdate.ping) that is an xml packet that you send to ping aggregators which indeed helps you get indexed etc (seo) massblogpinger.com is a free and working one .. have a play
I use http://www.pingupdate.com/demo/ you can even download and install on your on domain if you like.
pingomatic is another good site, you can google it, it pings either 50 or 80 sites at once, I forget.
LOL , people use them so much for spam ... that you can forgot about them....unless you want to compete with a few billions spam links
Would have been a nice tool (there is indeed a nice list of services it pings) if not for the ugly FFA list below the pinging form... spammed as hell What the likes of this tool are actually for is getting your blog updates/rss feeds picked up and indexed by all those blog indexing services - so they are of little use to just regular sites that have no RSS feed - but can work pretty nicely for blogs.
