My updated WordPress ping list
May 11th, 2008Like most blog software, WordPress will ping a list of services each time you write a post. I’ve spent the last hour or two refining my list and I think it’s pretty solid. Feel free to use this on your own blog if you’d like. in WordPress, just go to [settings] and then [writing], and there is a box near the bottom that says “Update Services”. Just copy and paste this list into there and you’re done!
If you have any other additions that you feel deserve to be on the list (or if you think some should be removed), please leave a comment and let me know.
The list:

The hot thing for the last year or so is to proclaim “PageRank is useless! Ignore it!“. Some of the dumbest things I hear are statements like “A PR2 site can outrank a PR7 site, therefore PageRank is meaningless.“ Duh! If a higher PR site always ranked better, then Google.com (PR10) would rank first for every query. There are certainly other factors in play, and PageRank is just a piece of it.
