What is a Blog Ping?

The Short Answer: Blog and Ping is an online marketing term applied to a system that utilizes blogs and pings (short for pingback) to deliver content and or sites for indexing in search engines with the ultimate aim of profit.

By pinging, you let the services know your blog has been updated. They crawl and index your site publishing your blog contents thus increasing your blog's popularity. All of the feed Aggregators use results from ping servers to tell subscribers which items on their lists have fresh material.

According to Wikipedia Open ping servers let other web-services subscribe to a list of blogs that have recently pinged them. Blog search engines can provide fresh results very quickly by polling only the newly updated blogs. Similarly, aggregators use results from ping servers to tell subscribers which items on their subscription lists have fresh material.

Blog pinging is considered by many to be an excellent source of building link popularity while gaining mass global exposure to your site at the same time.

We do not recommend pinging all of the ping servers at once due to many aggregators speed issues. For best results, ping each server individually. This will get you the best results for your ping and in turn deliver more value to your blogs. you should use a blog search engine pinging service such as PingTheWeb every time you update your blog, RSS feed, or website with fresh content, preferably unique content for best results.
