If you want to increase traffic to your personal or corporate blog or forum, pinging sites can be an effective strategy. These tools notify search engines and content aggregators whenever you update your site, helping your new content get discovered faster.
Below are a few pinging sites I use for this WordPress blog and for every New WordPress Site I launch. Thanks to these resources, my articles often appear in Google’s search results within 480 seconds (yes, just 8 minutes!). While you might not experience the same speed immediately, many users see their content indexed within 24 hours, provided their site meets Google’s standards, including:
• Minimal intrusive advertisements
• Original, high-quality content
• Mobile-friendly design
How to Get Started
To leverage these pinging sites, go to the ‘Writing’ section under Settings in your WordPress dashboard. You can add some or all of the services listed below.
