I am sorry if I posted it in the wrong section. I have seen people in services section saying that they will create web 2.0 properties to promote my website and they will ping those pages. I tried searching what ping actually means in context of search engines but could not find something that would make sense to me. I would be thankful if someone can explain to me 1) what do you mean by "Ping your web 2.0 pages to different sites" ? 2) Is it done manually or through some tools(softwares,scripts etc) Thanks for your time
It is done through scripts OR software and it is just done server-side or client-side (computer software). Pinging is usually connected with blogs but can also be connected to other areas such as pinging pages using things like ping-o-matic as well as other scripts/software. Definition:
