Ping services allow you to automatically notify blog directories and search engines that your blog has been updated.
If you’re a blogger, you know the importance of visibility. You want your content to reach as many people as possible, and that’s where ping services come into play. But what exactly are these services? Well, ping services are tools that notify search engines and blog directories every time you update your blog. This increases your chances of being discovered and drives more traffic to your site.
The bigger your ping list the higher the chances of receiving traffic from those sources, so check out the list below and include it on your blog. In WordPress, there’s a built-in functionality to automatically notify update services whenever you publish a new post. This is done by pinging a list of services that you specify in your WordPress settings.
Here’s how to do it:
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to “Settings” and then “Writing.”
- Scroll down to the section labeled “Update Services.”
- In the text box, you can add the URLs of the ping services you want to notify whenever you publish a new post.
One of the most popular and trusted ping services out there is Ping-O-Matic. It’s like a one-stop-shop for your pinging needs, allowing you to notify a variety of services, including blog directories, search engines, and social media platforms, that your blog has been updated.
But Ping-O-Matic is just the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous other ping services available, each with its own set of pros and cons. To help you navigate this landscape, I’ve put together a handy table comparing some of the top ping services out there:

Thanks, but how i use list. I mean how can i send ping
For the blog other than wordpress, how can I include these?
Thanks for your great list. Very useful for me.
Thanks!
This is the most comprehensive list I’ve seen.
I’ve added this to my new woprdpress instalation as a test as there are a lot of conflicting opinions it seems.
I saw someone mention that some services should not be pinged more than once. Does anyone know if there is any sort of penalty is this happens? Will you get blocked if you are seen as a “ping spammer”?
If some services ping other ones then this is going to happen with this list I guess.. I’d be interested to know.
thanks.
