You own a blog and update it frequently, so the world should know it, isn’t it? Some blog owners complains that their blog posts are not getting listed for long time in Google, Bing and Ask. It helps to ping the site to let the rest of the Internet that you have added new content. In this article we will see how to ping your blog to services which will notify blog aggregates like Technorati, IceRocket, Newsgator and many more. Also how to notify search engines like Google, Bing and Ask.

If you have not pinged your blog before, you will need to have three pieces of information that the pinging services are going to request from you.

Also note these tips:

• Never ping twice within a 24 hour period. Some services don’t like to be pinged (or poked) again and agian without reason, and they might ban your blog.
