Ping Your Blog Posts to Gain Traffic and Improve SEO - pingmyblog.com

I've recently reviewed the main pinging websites for some consumer review sites and thought that I would add the info to this blog as I'm sure it will come in handy to some of you:

Pingmyblog.com

For the readers who are not familiar with pinging, it’s an activity undertaken to allow blog directories know that you have updated your blog, it’s a useful source of traffic for a blog not as prolific as backlinks or social bookmarking but useful all the same. Some blogging services such as blogger automatically send pings to the main directories each time you update your blog. Pingmyblog is a collection of around 60 to 70 directories, simply submit your name and url, as well as your feed url if you like, click on “check all” and away you go – pings are sent to every blog directory in a matter of seconds. Japan, Netherlands, Germany and Russia are all amongst the mix and may help you improve international traffic. Pingmyblog.com is not the fastest and it seems a little bit outdated as about 50% of the links don’t actually work but it involves very little effort and takes a matter of minutes. I recommend using this along with another service or two, each time you post a new post.
