Ping It !

If you have a blog, or a site, after you update the content, the first thing you think, it would be to let those search engine and or other services to know that. To make those search engine know that there is a new update content, as what I know, it called "ping" those services.

Searching for the definition from Wikipedia, Ping is a computer network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network; it is also used to self test the network interface card of the computer, or as a speed test. It works by sending ICMP “echo request” packets to the target host and listening for ICMP “echo response” replies. Ping measures the round-trip time and records any packet loss, and prints when finished a statistical summary of the echo response packets received, the minimum, mean, max and in some versions the standard deviation of the round trip time.

Actually, those search engine will try to walk to your site or blog by their own. But, if you ping them, it warn them that your site or blog is already updated. I found a useful site that offer service to ping several sites. Just mentioned : weblogs[dot]com, feedburner[dot]com, my[dot]yahoo[dot]com, technorati[dot]com and else. Just by entering the blog title, blog url, verification code, than press the button you already ping those sites.
