So what is a Word Press Ping List?

Many readers of this blog may already have or be looking at creating a Word Press blog.

You spend all that time creating a post (article) and now you want the world to see it!

So you need to let the world know the way to do that is to “ping” the popular websites that want to know about your content. In turn they will then let their users know about it.

These services include Google, Yahoo and popular blog engines.

Word Press contains a section that lists these popular services and when you publish an article it will then attempt to let them know you have new content.

By default Word Press has just one entry: http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ in the box.

I found that this did NOT get the results I was looking for and so have manually entered the following services instead…. then things took off in terms of my blog posts appearing in Google and other popular websites!

The following is my list:

It is a modified one from a list I found at http://www.seofeed.com many months ago which I then tested and dropped a few. In addition some research provided a couple of other relevant (and high traffic) services.
