Want to know how to make pinging on your blog easy? Here's what I do. Whenever I post I ping Yahoo's site. I'm getting technical here. If you don't understand what I just said, the book that we have referenced in the packet helps explain what pinging is and how all of that works. But basically what it's doing is telling certain engines "Hey I just did something new. Come and get it and put it in your search engine." So I ping Yahoo so Yahoo knows I've got something new and then I go and open my My Yahoo page and it grabs my content and pulls it in.
I have found that sometimes within 20 seconds, sometimes two days, Yahoo spiders arrive at the site and spiders the pages. And I oftentimes get those blogging entries into Yahoo within a matter of hours. Within 72 hours I'm in Yahoo with that post. I can't do that with a regular full-text newsletter archive page. Here's what I recommend that you do. I recommend that you ping www.PingOMatic.com. What Ping-O-Matic does is they gather all of these different places where you can do this pinging stuff. We're getting really technical and I apologize but pinging means that your computer tells some other computer someplace else that you did something new and they need to come get that.
