Many thanks for the list – very handy resource indeed.

I have wanted one of these forever! THANKS for the great work

Neat list, but you missed ours….

We do a Yahoo backlink count for your website and then ping Technorati for each link and hit Pingomatic for each domain.

It's also a great introduction to what you can do with iMacro.

[...] 67 Wordpress Pinging Resources You Need to Know [...]

Classic, now there's 67 ping sites, that's fantasic. I'll probably need to check all all still valid

Hai dev..good work.

@everyone – Thanks for your kind comments. I'm glad you've found this to be a good resource — Dev

[...] internet. Nonetheless, there are many update services available on the WordPress Codex, and even more services you can ping here – it might be worth looking into adding a bunch of them to this list. I haven't tried it yet [...]

Dev do you actually monitor your pings using this list to see whether your pings are being rejected (WP doesn't do this by default)

You have loads of non English ping servers listed, and servers that no longer function

There is also a ton of reduncancy which will produce little to no additional benefit

Hey Andy, I don't ping all of these if they aren't relevant to the blog I'm pinging from. I have to say, that I don't usually check up if the ping was successful or not, unless I use a dedicated pinging service.

People are going to end up copying the whole list into their Wordpress and spamming the hell out of foreign language sites without knowing it.

It is worth checking, for instance Pingoat cancelled their ping service around 18 months ago, and only provide a web based service, unless John Reese switched it back on after he took over the site.

Maybe someone can post an edited list?

You have pingomatic listed twice for one thing. Also isn't the point of pingomatic to ping lots of other services so you don't need a ridiculous list like this loaded? I'll admit I'm not the authority on this, but you really need to be more careful in posting things like this. Lots of users are going to just copy the list and start spamming sites as Andy mentioned. I should probably recheck this list before I post it here, but I ONLY ping the following services.

Kyle, I think you can remove Icerocket. It's in Pingomatic.

@Kyle – I loaded this list into Excel to prevent any duplicates from showing up, but I'm guessing the program didn't know the difference between the pingomatic url with a trailing slash and without one. As far as I know, pingomatic will only ping the services you select once you're on their site. The purpose of this list is to customize the pinging services relevant to your own site, and then put them in wordpress's ping list, thereby avoiding the need to use a 3rd party service such as pingomatic.

Oh, my, ya'll are making this a lot harder than it needs to be. Pinging your backlinks, I think, is a minor SERP increaser, importnat to do but not as important as, say, a good external linking program.

We did a lot of research in North American search and decided that technorati and pingomatic were the 80% solution.

Heck, if you have Joomla or a broken network or a vendor firewall blocking your pings, you can just use our client based backlink pinger once a month or so.
