Email Filtering + Business Email Management

Pinging services are very important if you want to spread the word about your latest blog post using RPC and RPC2.

Having researched a few sites listed below, I merged and de-duped all the recommended pinging services (ping servers) into a single list and then tested each service to see whether it accepted my ping. The results of my tests are below.

I used the Smart Update Pinger WordPress Plugin to record all the logs. This was set at 3 seconds to allow for a slow network or ping server response.

Main Sites Researched

• WordPress (Update Services)
• Elliot Back’s Blog (an old 2004 ping list – 56 RPC and RPC2 Services to Ping!)
• SEOBlackHat.com (RPC Ping List)
• RPC and RPC2 Services Ping List
• 36 Site to Ping for more Traffic
• SEO Blog – All inclusive ping list for WordPress

I know that my active ping service list contains some ping service broadcasters (that ping out to other ping servers) – but this was meant to just be a simple ping test to help myself optimise my WordPress pinging – and to also help other bloggers while I’m at it.

Log of Ping Service Test Results

This list is not exhaustive as other ping services will exist and evolve – but my research time and patience is limited.

Please feel free to post a comment if you find any other active (live) ping servers not on my list so that other bloggers (including myself) can use this list. I will then update my live ping services list accordingly.
