Do you know when search engines pick up on your blog updates? What if I told you that there is a way to manually ping over 20 top search engines in less than 1 second? Would you believe me?
Welcome to Ping-O-Matic! A free service by the WordPress Foundation, this tool lets you ping your selected search engines with a single click. Every time you publish an article, all you have to do is literally go to the site and click the ‘Send Pings’ button.
With me, I simply leave the Ping-O-Matic site up in one of my tabs and with every update of my blog, I click on the tab, click the button, and I’m done. No exaggeration, the entire process takes me a fraction of a second.
One great feature is if your blog update has recently been recognized by search engines, Ping-O-Matic will let you know and won’t actually push the ping.
If I only earned a penny for every question I see about when search engines ping your blog, I could probably buy every visitor I ever had a beer. The good news is that moving forward, you’ll always know since you’re the one doing it.
Oh, and BTW, no disclosure on this since I’m not an affiliate. Why? Because it’s FREE! No catch, just enjoy.

This looks like a good tool but why wouldn’t you just use the ping tool built into WordPress?

You could. It’s just that this article isn’t only for WP bloggers.
This tool is already in the writing section of a WP admin, no need to go to the site itself if you’re using WP.

Glad its automatic for wordpress blogs (.com and .org).
Thankfully it’s not a pain for other blog users

I think each wordpress blog already have this service build in so we do not need to use their web tools.

Yes, as Brad mentioned, WP does ping when posting. I find myself using it most when I make updates to my articles.
That said, pinging to search engines like this is helpful for all other blogs and websites.

This sounds pretty cool actually. Might have to check this out though right now I’m not all that worried about the search engine stuff.
…Maybe I should be though.

I haven’t tried this one in awhile but I think I have them set up as a service to notify in my WordPress settings – though now I am doubting myself and will have to hop over to my blog to find out.

The ping service is actually available on most common blogging platforms like WP and Blogger. I am actually using another tool, not Ping-O-Matic to do the manual Ping. This tool only ping a blog once, and check hourly for new contents, and then once new contents are published- it will notify blog directories and SE’s.

John´s last blog ..Crysis On iPad Now
Pingomatic is definitely a solid service but I prefer to copy a list of services and plug in directly into wordpress. That way, any time I add new content, my blogged gets pinged immediately. If you visit Pingler.com you’ll see that they have a big list of such services.
Megan´s last blog ..Looking To Buy Cheap Boots Online?
I’ve been using pingomatic for a long time now. Its very effective at getting sites indexed as well as indexing pages that have your backlinks on them, thereby getting your links indexed as well. Their rss pinging is also a great benefit.
@Michelle Mangon, don’t use too many pinging services in your WP blog settings, you don’t want to get tagged as spamming
