These websites lets you ping currently more than 40 websites with a single click including high authority sites such a Yahoo and Technorati. Just post your website and also any new posts you make make to your blog, submit that page too.

So why should you ‘ping’ and what does it mean?

After you have written your latest blog entry you hit the Publish now button and then what? In the traditional website days you would have to wait until people visited your site and spotted something new. You may even go and re-register your link to the search engines in the hope they would come and recrawl you again in the next few days or even weeks.

Wouldn’t it be much nicer if my website could just tell all these different sources that my content had changed, at the time of publishing instead of having to do it manually?

This is exactly what a web ping does. A web ping is a small request that goes out from your blog to alert services that are interested in your data that your content has changed. This ping goes out to the search engines and the new breed of portals called aggregators. An aggregator is a place that brings together content from all different sources and arranges them into related categories depending on what their audience is looking for.

Services such as Technorati, Yahoo, Ping-o-matic etc all get notifications that your blog has changed, and they will then come and look at your blog to get the latest information.

This results in a greater audience for your information. You are telling the search engines that your site/blog has changed and needs to be recrawled.

So what are you waitting for? Get pinging and get more traffic.
