Blog and Podcast Pinging Services

For small business bloggers unaware of blog and ping promotional services, I assembled a list of blog and podcast pinging websites. These sites will broadcast your blog each time you make a post, and instantly notify a variety of search engines and sites that track blogs. Some offer special services for podcasts, niche blogs, and foreign language blogs.

Visit each to see which one best suits your small business blog. Each has checklists, so take some time on your first visit to review the list and avoid pings to unrelated promotional websites.

The list of sites with blog and podcast pinging services are in alphabetical order:

  1. BlogFlux pings plus has a blog directory for registered members
  2. FeedShark provides service for blogs, RSS Feeds and podcasts
  3. KingPing pings 57 blog search engines, plus a podcast option checkbox
  4. MyPagerank pings feeds to 25 networks that track blogs
  5. Ping-O-Matic provides a simple and highly ranked pinging service
  6. Pingoat easy one-button submission to 26 sites tracking blogs

The process is easy, and free. Select one to handle your promotion each time you make a blog post, and with a few clicks your blog is promoted to up to 57 different websites. This is fast and convenient with just 1 or 2 clicks after entering your blog name and web address, so total time should be less than 60 seconds.
