    Hi I am looking for advice to get my new articles out there and my news stories. I would like to know if i should ping my articles and news stories each time i write a new one and if so which ping services do you recommend and what do they really do.

    Can anyone recommend any other services that i could use to promote my new articles and news stories to gain more traffic.

    Many thanks

      is there a tool that will allow you to enter all the ping sites that are availabe and then enter the details like pingomatic and enter the url that you want to ping which will then ping all the ping site that you want.

        thanks andrew, i use these at the moment, just wondering if there is one where it will ping all the sites at once.

        have tried buying a k2 ping tool for my joomla 1.5 site but it does not work with the 1.5 site which is a sahme as it would make it a lot easier if it was done automatically like word press.

              If you use Joomla you can install a component in order to use ping services like in Wordpress.

              Just do a search in Google like this one

                If you mean to use ping services in order to have your new article indexed, than the fastest and surest ping is system is Google+ itself (as once was Twitter).

                Just few minutes after shared a link on G+, it's visited by Googlebot and indexed.

                  hi, how can i add these ping services to one service. I use joomla so i do not think they have an automatic ping service. What will it actuall do for my site and for attracting visitors to my site.

                      Yes, ping every article you post.

                      Depending on your platform will dictate what you can do. If you're on wordpress, they have a built in system that automatically does that for you.

                      I'm sure other systems have them in place as well, but I am not familiar with them.

                      If you need to manually do it, here are a few sites I am aware of:

                      pingler.com

                      pingoat.com

                      Good luck!

                        seo tactics noindex google search seo rankings

                        I have a website with a lot of product pages - often thousands of pages. As each of these pages is for a specific lease car they are often only fractionally different from other pages. The urls are too long, the H1 is often too long and the Title is often too long for "SEO best practice". And they do create duplication issues according to MOZ. Some people tell me to change them to noindex/nofollow whilst others tell me to leave them as they are as best not to hide from google crawler. Any advice will be gratefully received. Thanks for listening.

                        Two META Robots tags on a page - which will win?

                        Hi, Does anybody know which meta-robots tag will "win" if there is more than one on a page? The situation:
                        our CMS is not very flexible and so we have segments of META-Tags on the page that originate from templates.
                        Now any author can add any meta-tag from within his article-editor.
                        The logic delivering the pages does not care if there might be more than one meta-robots tag present (one from template, one from within the article). Now we could end up with something like this: Which one will be regarded by google & co?
                        First?
                        Last?
                        None? Thanks a lot,

                        Hello everyone, I have a website that has only static content.

                        So I have a real estate website that is regularly changing listings, photos, data.  Every time a new listing is added it creates a page for that listing. My question is how frequently should I be recreating a new xml sitemap and uploading it to google webmasters? Thanks in advance.

                        I need help with a PHP canonical URL tags

                        I found a little difficult for me to do a canonical tag in my PHP. On-Page Report Card We check to make sure that IF you use canonical URL tags, it points to the right page. If the canonical tag points to a different URL, engines will not count this page as the reference resource and thus, it won't have an opportunity to rank. If you've not made this page the rel=canonical target, change the reference to this URL. NOTE: For pages not employing canonical URL tags, this factor does not apply. I don't know how to tidy my PHP Any suggestion.

                        Is there a pinging tool to ping all sites at once

                        hi, i am just wondering if there is a tool that you can put on your toolbar that allows you to ping all the sites at once. The last thing i want to keep doing is to go through every single one and ping my article. I would like to find a tool that does it all for me, can anyone let me know if there is one out there. many thanks

                        SEO Benefit from Redirecting New Exact Match Domains?

                        Hi, All! This is a question asked in the old Q & A section, but the answer was a little ambiguous and it was about 3 years ago, so I decided to repost and let the knowledgeable SEO public answer... From David LaFerney: It’s clear that it’s much easier to get high rankings for a term if your domain is an exact match for the query. If you own several such domains that are very related such as – investmentrealestate.com, positivecashflow.com, and rentalproperty.com – would you be able to benefit from those by 301ing them to a single site, or would you have to maintain separate sites to help capture those targeted phrases? In a nutshell – SEO wise, is it worth owning multiple domains to exactly match valuable search phrases? Or do you lose the exact match benefit when you redirect?>> To clarify: redirecting an old domain with lots of history and links to a new exact match domain seems to contain SEO benefit.  (You get links+exact match domain, approximately.)  But the other way around? Redirecting a new exact match domain to an older domain with links?  Does that do anything for the ranking of the old domain for the exact match keyword?  Or absolutely nothing?  (My impression has been that it's nothing, but the question came up for a client and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.) Thanks in advance!
