Learn This Word and Get Traffic to Your Site
I know you think I have lost my mind and how can one word help get traffic to my site – well it’s a word that most don’t even know about, maybe have heard but just don’t know what it is or how to do it.
Ok, here is the Wikipedia definition of “Ping” Ping is a computer network admin utility used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for packets sent from the local host to a destination computer, including the local host’s own interfaces.
If you have a blog that you are posting to daily or weekly, then you need to be pinging your blog url – and you are wondering where you start – well here is where I started. Ping O Matic You just add your blog title, your blog url and your rss feed url and then I clicked all – then send ping and watch the magic.

Yeah Ping Tools like Pingomatic also helps your recently updated post to get indexed fast. I am big fan of Pingomatic because it sends requests to multiple blogging search engines in no time…. The impact of Ping.fm also stands vital it diverge social traffic for you
I don’t know if I am going to agree or not but I think pinging your site doesn’t have to do with the traffic. But, getting your posts and updates indexed as early as you can might help.
I have simple tip, after posting an article, go to Identi.ca and post the link of the article. It will be indexed in no time. I am doing this for quite a while now and it is very effective. For a pr0 blog that gets more than 150 unique visits a day.
If you’ve been doing your hard work as in, writing posts regularly each day, you’ll find that your blog is indexed really quick by Google bots. Sometimes I found that my new post could be reached in the search engines in a few hours
