Ping your blog
By Kyle Henrie | June 12, 2008
You have your blog all ready to go. It has a nice, clean design and solid, original content. Now what? You need to get your blog visible to the Internet world. To do this, we recommend you submit your blog’s URL and/or RSS feed to as many high-ranking blog directories as you can. This is often called a “ping” or notifying a directory that you have a new blog or that your blog has recently been updated.
The first submissions, or pings, should be Google and Yahoo - if you have not submitted your Blog URL to them you need to do that first. Then you can move on to the remaining list of directories (see below).
Different directories have different forms to fill when submitting your blog. Their instructions are usually pretty easy but take some time to follow. Here are few things to note when submitting your blog.
- Some directories require you to register before adding your Blog. While most of them allow you to submit more than one Blog, some may require you to use a different login name for each Blog.
- If you are asked for the RSS Feed or your Feed URL, check that your blog software on how to locate or use this feature.
- You may be asked for an image to represent your blog, make sure you add this. The Internet is a visual media and needs to be exploited at every turn.
- The Reciprocal Link URL is the main page where you may need to put a link back to their blog directory.
- The meta keywords or“tags are keywords that represent your blog’s content. Basically meta description is one or, at the most, two sentences describing your blog, while meta tags provide information about your Blog for search engines to help identify and search matches.
Another way to submit your blog to the www-world is to use a FREE blog ping service like Pingoat.com. This is a quick and easy to use tool that does the heavy lifting for you. This is especially helpful if you are just getting started and need to get your new blog noticed right away.
What about updating these same blog directories when your publish new content to your blog? Most of the well know blog tools (i.e. Wordpress) can automatically ping these groups for you. This is much quicker and easier than manually submitting your blog every time you add a new post or page. Technorati has a great configuration page that walks you how to set this up. Go here to read how to configure popular blog tools to do this.
Once you know how to configure your blog, you need a list of all of the blog directories and their automatic ping urls. For your convenience, I have created this list for you. Just copy and paste the list below into your blog as instructed by the Technorati’s configuration page (listed previously) and you are good to go! Happy blogging!
