How to Ping Your Blog For Quick Traffic Results
By Matt Bacak

Blogs are essential to running any online business. The key benefit is that it allows you to stay up-to-date with your audience. It also allows your audience to check in on your website for new updates so it’s a win-win for everyone. If you do have a blog, it’s important to write daily posts so that the search engines can increase your site ranking. Updated content is heaven for the search engines. It also helps improve your websites traffic quicker. But is adding content the only way to improve your traffic! Not at all! The best rule of thumb when you have a blog is to ping. Pinging is very easy!

Basically, when you set up your blog, you’re going to get a thing called an RSS feed. It’s a really simple syndication feed. This feed is going to be kind of like the channel. Think about it this way… Your blog is a radio station and in order for somebody to get everything on that radio station, they’ve got to turn to a channel. So those channel represents your RSS feed. So, basically for anybody that’s logged-in or tuned in to that channel or shall I say that feed they’re going to be getting that information. If they subscribe to your feed then they are automatically updated with a feed notification of your newest blog entry. That’s what an RSS feed is.

Then next step after you’ve added a new blog entry is to send out a ping. You basically want to ping your blog to let the search engines know that you’ve updated it by adding new content. Basically it’s like you’re saying: “Hey, listen, I have new updated content on my page. Come check me out.” Pinging gives you a head start instead of you having to wait for the search engines to come around and realize you’ve added new content. You’re basically giving them a heads up beforehand by saying: “Hey, come check me out” with your ping.

So, how do you ping your blog? Well, you ping your blog by going to a blog pinging website. I use them and swear by them. All you have to do is get your RSS feed from your site. And then just take your link and then submit it and you’re good to go.

This is how it’s set up: It’s going to say, “What’s your website’s name or title?” You’re going to take the name of the website or the title and put it on there. You’re going to put your URL. You’re also going to select the category of niche that you’re in and then just push the button to send your ping. Just push “Ping my site” and then it’ll start pinging out to Yahoo, Google, blog people and every site that needs to be notified.

It’s going to go ping about 1,000 or so different locations to let them know that you’ve updated your content. (If you’re using WordPress, I think there’s also a built-in pinger where it actually does that for you so you don’t even have to do it). But use Pingler for best results and then you’re done. That’s all you’ve got to do.
