Ping services allow you to automatically notify blog directories and search engines that your blog has been updated. 
If you’re a blogger, you know the importance of visibility. You want your content to reach as many people as possible, and that’s where ping services come into play. But what exactly are these services? Well, ping services are tools that notify search engines and blog directories every time you update your blog. This increases your chances of being discovered and drives more traffic to your site.
The bigger your ping list the higher the chances of receiving traffic from those sources, so check out the list below and include it on your blog. In WordPress, there’s a built-in functionality to automatically notify update services whenever you publish a new post. This is done by pinging a list of services that you specify in your WordPress settings.
Here’s how to do it:
- From your WordPress dashboard, go to “Settings” and then “Writing.”
- Scroll down to the section labeled “Update Services.”
- In the text box, you can add the URLs of the ping services you want to notify whenever you publish a new post.
One of the most popular and trusted ping services out there is Ping-O-Matic. It’s like a one-stop-shop for your pinging needs, allowing you to notify a variety of services, including blog directories, search engines, and social media platforms, that your blog has been updated.
But Ping-O-Matic is just the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous other ping services available, each with its own set of pros and cons. To help you navigate this landscape, I’ve put together a handy table comparing some of the top ping services out there:

Excellent way to promote your blog, videos, podcast, site. Being on the Internet is not enough, being found is way way more important. Thanks for your service!
Thanks for the list. I have added to my WordPress Settings. Keep up the great work.
Great list man! You have 58 ping services included. But I’m still confused, if including lots of ping urls works great or fewer important ones. Is there any workload to our blog if it contains lots of ping list or it does not matter anything?
I’ve always visit your site and do so since I started my online endeavors. It’s been a few years now, and can truthfully say that your articles have been a source of great instruction.
To those of you who are starting; I strongly recommend you visit this site often.
In as much as the ping server list is concern, I add this list to every blog I launch, and to this date I have had no problem.
Daniel, thank you for all you have shared!!!
If you use wordpress, then copy all the above ping services sites and every time you publish a new blog, it will automatically ping it.
Forgot to mention that if you use big ping lists, that their could be duplicate URLs in your list. You don’t want to double ping the ping services because you could get blocked.
Checkout my “Ping List Checker” plugin for WordPress and it will spot duplicate URLs. The plugin is located in the WordPress Plugin section on Spunky Jones SEO Blog.
I don’t understand everything.
I could make an application to ping new/updated URL’s. Would it be a problem if I’d ping it to about 500 services? will it be indexed faster thanks to it?
and is there any risk if too many/too fast pings sending ???
Regards
Darek
Thanks for the great ping list. I love all the tips and useful content you always provide. It inspires to want to do the same on my blog so thanks for that.
After 2 or 3 days walking in blogs, like I’ve found that I was looking for this, your ping list is not much but very effective, thank you.
Great list and thank you for sharing, I will use it wisely with my web hosting site. Spammy links blogs might be caught and banned as I experienced it in the past so recommend white hat SEO with pinging your sites or blogs.
@ kimisan
If you have a WordPress blog, I suggest that you use a plugin like the MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer. This plugin won’t ping services over and over, if you re-edit you blog posts.
I also suggest that you use the Spunky Jones ping list checker that will find duplicates in your ping list.
Hi, I’ve read somewhere that if you ping your site too often it annoys the search engines, is this true? Is there a penalty for over pinging? And btw, thanks for the list!
Daniel, do you update the list regularly? Sometimes a ping service doesn’t work anymore.
Great!
This is just what I need for my website!
I can’t agree more! Pinging makes your sites noticed by the search engines much more! So instead of just wondering and hoping that your site will get indexed, make sure you ping it!
Also, there are other ways to get indexed, such as using social bookmarks or making a twitter post then linking to it.
Try out onlywire also if you want to get free automated social bookmarking. Google it!
Thanks for the list, can i update this list with my wordpress write, ping sets ?.
@Romson If you’re using WordPress go to Writing Settings and put the list in the Update Services box.
Do i put this pinglist url’s in my “send trackbacks” field?
How do i do this the proper way?
Any help would be great!
this is great pinging list, i realy thank ful for this ping list for my project My Thai Fiancee.com
It’s a big list, but as the list gets longer the importance gets higher. Thanks Daniel for this wonderful article.
Great Post and Links
Good list. Used it. Thanks.
Great post
I’ve only really used Pingomatic, Technorati, Google and Feedburner
I’ll try out some of these others and see if it slows down my post’s.
Thanks
Thanks for this long list, I have just added them to my ping list and are beginning to see an increase in traffic.
excellent job. Better ping better results.
i will definitly add these to my pings list
i have found some other links on the comments also
so mate i think it is good to add them to you list on the post also
specially the technorati one..
Chears!
And let the sports ball rolling 🙂
Thanks for the links. I was looking for such links until I found this post. Thank you very much.
When is that last time that this list was updated?
Since people are into larger ping lists these days, you might want to make for another post about a revised list and update of what had took place in the last couple of years since you made this post.
How to add this to my blog so that i don’t ping every day.
Great list
Many thank 🙂
Thanks for the list.. Does it hurt that I post about 5 to 6 times a day?
Will they consider it spam?
Should I just use pingoat and only do it once per day?
Thanks again..
Dennis
Great tip, thank you very much.
Do you think pinging every hour is too much?
I have using thing pingoat.com of pingler.com everytime while update post on all my blog.
I added all these pings to my wordpress writing settings tab. I read one article that stated that adding pings is a bad thing and marks you as a spam site. Any truth to this statement?
Very nice list. I’ve ever looked for such a big list! Thanks for sharing.
Great list, thank you. Do you think pinging every hour is too much? I have heard that some ping sites can ban you if you ping too often.
Obrigado
Thanks for this list. You’ve been most helpful.
what a list, had I seen this list below starting out in blogging, my result for adsense would have skyrocketed, thanks
Thanx. It’s a good info Good luck
Wow! Many thanks for sharing this list 😀
Thank you for the list!
I used smart update pinger wp plugin so I was sure not ping 2-3 times if I edited the post. At least this is what I understand it did.
Just found your list. I had about 10 but now I am rockin, thanks heaps.
thanks for these great article on pinging helped me ping my blog
just see my blog and please give comment.
Very good and useful list thanks.
Thanks for the list. What I’m not sure about though is whether pinging duplicate sites would go against you. For example pingomatic already pings technorati.
I guess we should all do our due diligence and get rid of the duplicates.
A very useful list though. Thanks
Great ping list….a little old, but most are still valid.
Thank you for the big list.
This is the biggest list I have seen yet.
Thanks for sharing
Thank you! this is very helpful! Appreciate that!
