  About Pinging etc

  http://Blogwise.com

  * In the past few days .. I’ve been thinking about ways to increase traffic – besides adding sites to my own directory listing – one was to make sure that my sites were included in other directories. The first one that came up in a google search was Blogwise. Now .. I checked – but I only had 2 of my sites listed. So, over the past weekend I had been adding all of my sites to their listing.

  * But .. I’m not holding my breath .. look at their stats … 65904 blogs listed .. 86141 blogs waiting to be approved … 142 blogs added in the last 7 days. At this rate .. it would take 11.67 years before they included all these blogs waiting to be approved!

  

  SO I TWEAKED MY FEEDBURNER ACCOUNT

  I use Feedburner.com to manage my RSS feed and various settings .. and this is what I did for every blog that I have in my account with them … I double checked to make sure that my Pingshot was activated.

  Goto … PUBLICIZE // PINGSHOT //

  Basically .. when you publish content and it goes to your feedburner account and RSS feed .. this pingshot will supposedly also inform .. Technorati, MyYahoo, Bloglines, PubSub, Ping-o-matic, and Newsgator.

  You can also select up to five other choices of services to ‘ping’ out of eleven others: Feedster, IceRocket, Weblogs.com, BlogBuzzMachine, Blogdigger, Syndic8, Feedblitz, BlogBlogs, Blogarkivet.net, Bloggrevyen.com, FeedCrier, and Google.

  

  And Don’t Forget My WordPress Options

  Sometimes .. in my wordpress option .. I automatically preset different pinging URLs … under .. OPTIONS // WRITING //

  (The default) rpc.pingomatic.com/
  (technorati) rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
  (feedburner) www.feedburner.com/fb/a/pingSubmit?bloglink=[RSS FEED URL]
  (google) blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
  (pingomatic) URL Shortened

  Sometimes, I just leave the default – it posts faster when I click publish – and hope that Feedburner really does distribute it to everywhere I mention in my pingshot.
