Blog It, Tag It, Ping It.

Education & Training with Real Estate Technology

With all of the different blog-related services out there, the noise of options can become overwhelming. A good, and simple, next step (after tagging your posts) should be pinging good blog tracking services. I suggest using a pinging service such as Pingoat. This will provide even greater exposure of your blog on the Internet.

Here's the step-by-step.

Anytime that you create a new blog post:

  1. Go to Pingoat.com
  2. Enter your blog name
  3. Enter your blog url (i.e., http://activerain.com/blogs/ungos/)
  4. Click the "General" header (This selects all services in the General category)
  5. Click submit ("Go Pingoat!")

That's it!

We actually do pings to a system very similar to pingoat called pingomatic everytime someone updates or adds a blog post so doing it manually should not be needed.  Though we've noticed some of the blog search sites are pretty sporatic in actually indexing the new posts.

Nice to know that we're pinging! Is there an FAQ with this somewhere?

Is the ping to the indivual users' blogs or is it to only the general blog? Shouldn't matter. Anyway, I've checked before (haven't checked recently) and noticed that things weren't being indexed by a number of the sites even after a few days. Probably the sporadic indexing you mentioned.

I've moved to Pingoat because it has been much quicker and has a few other options for podcasting that I needed for a client. I know a little while ago Pingomatic got some new equipment, but I haven't been back since I left.
