Pinging Your Blog

Pinging
An important part of growing your blog is making sure that the World Wide Web knows your blog exists and knows when you publish new content. Blogger helps you achieve this through its automatic pinging service in conjunction with Weblogs.com

In simplest terms, pinging is the process by which a signal is sent to a server
(Called a ping server) whenever new content is added to a blog (or another Online source). Weblogs.com is a ping server that aggregates the pings it receives and makes them available to third parties, such as the search engines Technorati and Google. If you want your blog posts to appear in search engine results, make sure your blog is set up to ping.

Blogger users can easily configure their blogs to ping Weblogs.com, the largest
and oldest ping server, as follows:
1. From the Blogger dashboard, click the Settings link.
The Basic configuration window opens, as shown in the below Figure


2. Choose Yes from the Let Search Engines Find Your Blog? Dropdown menu.
By selecting yes, your blog will automatically ping Weblogs.com and Google Blog Search (an alternate ping server) every time you publish new content, making it immediately available to search engines.
