WordPress ping list is very useful to extend your blog reach to major search engines. We all know that blogs have a big advantage over static/dynamic websites in terms of ping. If you are not aware of WordPress ping feature, then here are some of my suggestions.
Whenever you publish, edit, or modify a post, WordPress will send a ping to all the ping services listed under your ping update services. This way, the ping services will be notified about the new posts and search engines will index them quickly.
Now, WordPress notifies all major ping services by default , but we can extend our limits by manually adding more services to ping.
Over time, I have compiled a list of ping services for WordPress that will help you ping more services. Below is my working WordPress ping list.
