Wordpress Pinglist: Don’t Be A Ping Spammer
Blogs have the ability to “ping” servers when you post new content. That means you’re notifying blog search engines every time you have new content. In the same way, content aggregators - like FeedBurner, Google Blog Search, IceRocket, Technorati, Yahoo and more - can let their subscribers know when your fresh content is available.
You may have seen some of the huge ping lists floating around the Internet. I’ve seen lists with over 100 ping services.
Here’s the thing. Those lists contain individual ping servers as well as ping services that ping multiple servers. In plain English, you could end up pinging the same server 3+ times - and get marked as a ping spammer. Not cool.
To reduce the odds of being accidentally labelled as a ping spammer, here’s the list I recommend;

Hello Linda,
Just making my way around your interesting site. I copy and pasted the links above. Not sure what to expect but I’m sure it will be good results.
I found the link to your web site design in the right column. The first thing I noticed was the HDTV. I love that show. Did you do work for them?

Hi Renee… HDTV did a feature on one of my websites and the client that runs the site. It was pretty neat to see the website I’d created on tv. That’s a story all in itself….

Finally, it is only through a regional approach that one could develop new models for lasting security and cooperation in the region while trying to unify these divided countries around youth as their most precious asset. ,
