I think some of you already know about the concepts of ping, well ping is an automatic process when we publish a new post on a blog our blog sends out a message to tell other services that we have a new post. Usually the website receiving the ping will add it to their content.
This is usually an automatic part of blogs, and is one of the reasons why blog posts are quickly indexed by Google. Google might take days to find our post when it next decides to visit our website.
If a website like technorati indexes our website the Google bot is checking that for new content hundreds of thousands of times per day. As a result it will often quickly find our post by following the link from technorati (or another site like it) and index our post right away.
This option also available for non blogs websites. There are free websites that we can use to tell these sites that we have new content available, even if it’s not a blog.
Three of the most popular free services are:

For WordPress Blogs we can put all those site above to our setting pages under the writing tab. Or we can go to the websites, enter a title and enter the URL we want to be pinged and click ping. Anything up to 20-30 websites get immediately notified of our new content. A few things to keep in mind about pinging:
We may have 10 or more things to ping for each website. That’s 10 opportunities to get Google to index your page faster! Of course, it’s possible that more than one of these pages will be ranked separately and take it’s own position in the search engine results.
Pinging is not essential as chances are our content will be found anyway. If we are not to patient and we want it indexed about 3 seconds after we’ve finished it! Pinging can be a great way to achieve fast indexing.
Just don’t over do it though. These websites are free services so overloading their services isn’t going to be a good thing. If we are pinging too quickly we might get locked out for a period of time. Make sure to keep that in mind. Pinging is a great way to tell the world that you have new content and to come check it out.
Excellent list. I’ll check it against mine to see if I missed any.
Great list, bookmarked for later to check and see which places need registration first.
Great list provided here. I’m going to paste all this in my wordpress ping page.
I think that pingomatic pings most of sites you mention below. I haven’t checked it but read somewhere. Anybody knows how is that really?
