Pingoat Blog Pinging Service
Tara at ResearchBuzz took a look at Pingoat, the mass pinging service for blogs this morning. This is entirely unrelated but when I loaded up ResearchBuzz (yes it has been a while) I couldn’t help but notice the fonts look just like the Google Blog now.
Anyway, if you’re a blog owner or marketer, Pingoat can save you a whop of time with its mass pinging. Tara writes :
(Pinging == sending an alert to a crawling or aggregation service, letting them know your site has updated. That way they know when they come spider your site that fresh content will be available.)
Pingoat has dozens of sites to ping, divided into three categories: General, Non English Services, and Special Services. Enter your blog name, URL, and feed URL, and select the services you want to ping (you can click on the category name to ping everything in the category.) Pingoat returns a status page that shows you the results of each ping. With one exception (Weblogs.se) all the pings I tried succeeded.
This service is not perfected yet. I get banned for pinging one site a week. The owner claims it is a software error. The first time it is. After 3 times I’d say you need to re-think your programming. But, who am I? lol
The Google Blog, really? Heh, I had no idea! Sorry. After the big MT kerfuffle I kind of went with a minimalist design based mostly on MT’s default template. I wanted to get back to generating content.
Well, I was reminded of the Google Blog :) The minimalist approach is awesome Tara and you are, as usual, pumping out great content. Thanks for dropping by.
Nothing’s perfect ! Pingoat is trying its best to weed out spam blogs. So its quite natural that occassionally genuine blogs too get blacklisted accidentally. But issues like that are resolved almost immediately over the email/forum.
