To Ping or Not to Ping
Last week I was reading an article by Courtney Tuttle, How Setting your blog to ping could hurt your traffic in which he explains that using the timestamp feature actually pings the services ahead of time, sending all searchengines to your site looking for a post that does not yet exist in blogosphere and once it does, it won´t get the ping you set out to give it in the first place.
I haven´t been using the timestamp feature on this blog, but I had been using it on others, making sure they were updated on a regular bases in order for me to be able to focus on other things meanwhile. After reading the article, and doing some more research online about this topic, I decided to not ping automatically on the timestamped articles anymore but instead do the pinging manually, yet another thing on my daily to-do list … After a few days pinging manually I figured somebody must have already become fed up with this wordpress flaw and made some sort of plugin to optimize pinging so I went back online to do some research and I found a plug that should do the job: The Ping Optimizer. This plugin will not only make sure you are sending out pings once your post comes online but when you edit an existing post, it won’t send an unnecessary ping to ping services. So, from now on I can go back to working ahead safely, without having to worry about upsetting pinging services or pissing them off by admitting the same post “over and over again” when editing an existing post. |
