60. Send Pings


What is a “ping” anyway? Well, a “ping” is how Google communicates with other websites and blogs to tell them that you’ve added a blog post to your blog. In this video, Bob is going to show you how it works.

The “Ping” option is no longer available on Blogger

    You say, “The ‘Ping’ option is no longer available on Blogger.”

    However, under “Settings” … “Basic” there’s:

    Let search engines find your blog? [Yes/No] — If you select “Yes” we will include your blog in Google Blog Search and ping Weblogs.com. If you select “No”, everyone can still view your blog but search engines will be instructed not to crawl it.

    Is this the same functionality as previously existed?

    You’re probably right TC.

    We use Ping-O-Matic to send pings of all our blogs. The service is very stable and has been working very well for us. You guys can also try that if you want to.
