Firstly I will describe what blogging and pinging is. Blog and ping is a technique you need to use to get your site listed in search engines.

I've been doing a try out blogging and pinging, one of many methods which apparently gets your website listed and rated higher faster.

Firstly I'll explain what blogging and pinging is. Weblog and ping is a method you need to use to obtain your website listed in search engines. Visit open in a new browser window to check up the meaning behind this view. The theory is that search engines like websites because of the ever upgrading material, so they keep going back. By creating a blog and putting some site links in-the articles, the search engines can index the links, and pages soon after you blog.

Pinging is when you send a 'ping' to let the sites, which keep lists of blogs, and when these blogs are updated, understand that you have added information to your website. These are presumably carefully watched by the search engine spiders, so they really can spider any new content and add it to the search engine which controls them.

Anyway, back to my research, does blogging and pinging really get your website noticed?

Well my effects have been encouraging. Discover further on this affiliated wiki by visiting roland fraiser news . I have examined by only using a weblog as the front page of a new website I began. http://www.informationpagesonline.com has only been advertised by way of the blog to announce new material, and then pinged through http://www.pingoat.com which directs the blog entries to several large ping web sites.

Following a week of incorporating content, and then publishing an announcement of the new content to the blog on the front page and pinging with pingoat, the site seems to be getting people to most of the sections, that we can see from the log files. I can also see a number of the traffic is via search engines, and also a great deal of spider action can be seen on the site, where the search engines are crawling the information.

So I need to consider that blogging and pinging is just a means of getting listed on search engines, or at the least of getting noticed by them quickly.

Should you be blogging and pinging?

Needless to say that's up to you, but for the time it takes, it maybe worth trying blog and ping for yourself and tracking the outcome. A fast blog article (use http://www.blogger.com if you don't have a blog) and then ping with pingoat requires just a few minutes, and can help a site into all the search engines quickly..
