What is pinging and why should I do it?

by Henrik on September 24, 2009

Pinging is a functionality built into Wordpress that sends a signal to special sites when there is new content on a blog.

The blog search engines are constantly checking these sites to learn where there is new content.

Often they will come to spider the new content within minutes.

This is the reason why you should set up pinging.

Normally spiders may take days to visit new content.
