Ping Your Blog--After 1 Month

Well it has been over a month now that I set up a test blog. And all I did to promote it was to ping it through one of the many ping services.

Now I have read two different methods on pinging your blog, I still don't know which one is collect. The first was to just use a ping service and ping your blog after each post. The other was to join each site that the ping site had listed on its page, an example of this would be Technorati.com. So I picked one, joined the site and listed my blog with them.

After trying both methods to drive traffic to my blog, I have found that neither one worked. So I did some searching and read that your blog ping stays on sites like Technorati main page for about 15 sec. Now I don't know how true that is, but if it is then the next way someone may find you is by doing a keyword search.

So lets take the keyword stock market and the search results are 165,343 for stock market. So what are the odds of more than a few people finding you.

Well Good Luck

P.S. If this isn't the collect way to ping your blog post and you stumble upon this post, please comment on the right.
