Ping Multiple Update Service for Better SEO and Faster Indexing

If you are serious about blogging, you are probably also serious about traffic. Blogs are typically updated often and it is important to let as many as possible know when a new post has been published. Most important is the search engine spiders as you want organic traffic from search engines. Where are ways to submit your web pages manually but when you are using WordPress it is not the most efficient way.

WordPress can automatically notify popular ping services letting them know that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time you create or update a post. Ping services allow different blog and RSS listing services to be notified and the idea is to help get the word out and hopefully drive some traffic to your site. This tutorial will show you how to get your automatic notification out to more services faster.

How can I enable WordPress XML-RPC Ping?

It’s enabled by default, but a default WordPress installation just pings a single site which is pingomatic.com. lets see how we can ping a lot more sites at once.

You can download the list here as a plain text file for easy copy / paste.

Next you need to navigate to Settings –> Writing. Towards the bottom, you will see a textarea where you can enter ping services and only one is listed – http://rpc.pingomatic.com/. Paste in the list here.

Now, ‘Save Changes’ and post on your blog without worrying if and when your blog will be indexed by search engines. My blog posts get indexed within a minute or two after I hit ‘Publish’ button.
