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.

Ping Your Blog

Well I have been posting every day to the other blog I set up as a test. Each day of the 14 days I have used one of the service like Ping-o-Matic to ping the blog.

As of today I haven't seen any traffic to the blog. I have pinged using just my blog address. And other time I also added the rss feed address.

I don't even think that this blog is even on the radar, but I will continue to post and ping for the next 17 days to see what happens.

Good Luck

Do You Ping Your Blog?

When I first started this blog, I heard that you should ping the blog using a service like Ping-O-Matic. And the reason was two fold; first you let the world know about your blog post and second was that it was suppose to bring some targeted traffic to your site.

Well I don't know, if I have been doing it right but I have ping my blog almost every time I have had a new post. And to tell you the truth, I don't thing it has helped me in any way. My blog traffic isn't beating my door down, as you can see I have a few product on the side and there hasn't been one sale from the traffic that I have had.

So my big question is; is it worth the time to ping your blog?

If you find this post, please leave me a comment.

Good Luck
