Care in Pinging

Care in Pinging

This is nothing to do with Internet Marketing-However I felt it was important to let fellow bloggers know about this problem with WordPress.

Whenever a

blog pings,

many background processes happen which get your blog quickly indexed by search engines as well as bringing traffic from many other sources

Services like Technorati (http://technorati.com) spider your links to tell who is linking to you and who you're linking to, almost in real time. If you show up on someone's Technorati link list for their site (often called an "egorati search") they're likely to visit your site to see what you said, increasing your exposure.

Unfortunately, because of a serious flaw in WordPress's pinging system you are already using ping in the wrong way, without even realizing it.

If you are using WordPress the way it is provided then it's very possible that by now your blog has been banned from many ping services because of ping spamming.

Bit Scary-However it has happened to me on other blogs I have-here is one (Dogs-B-Fit)

By default WordPress pings whenever you post a new topic in your blog. That's fine and that's what we want.

But do you know WordPress also pings whenever you edit and update any existing post?

If you edit a post 10 times then WordPress will send 10 pings. It doesn't matter how small or big a change you make, WordPress always pings whenever you edit.
