Hello there,

I have some news on pinging - I have to confess it is something that I don’t understand fully still. But from a layperson to another, pinging reminds sites that you have a new post. Now I had read that you don’t need to ping blogs because with wordpress, it pings for you. Which it does. One ping site.

How many ping sites are there? Well I don’t know but there are a lot more than one! Probably in fact there are thousands. But to get you started if you have a blog and you want to get the word out and get more traffic, more comments, more links and therefore move up higher in the SEO stakes, then you need to add these to your blog.

If you have a self hosted wordpress blog like this one, you need to go to your dashboard. You need to scroll down to Settings, click, then click on writing. If you scroll down again it will show you the box where there is one pinging site.

Copy this list and paste it in there:

Your site will get a lot more exposure now! 

I would love to tell you that I had found this out on my own, but thanks need to go back to the Fortunate 500 forum (available only to Alex Jeffreys students, sorry) where I discovered this information. But sure enough, it will help bloggers everywhere and it’s great if we can all help one another!

So there you go, thats my tip of the day so far. If I find anything else of interest today, I will be sure to let you know!

Best wishes,

Ruth

P.S. Here is a video from the fantastic Matt to show you how to add pinglist to your blog.
