I thought I had seen all the ping sites until I read Fred Giasson’s solution to some bad experiences with the Ping-O-Matic service. At his own Fred On Something blog he describes his discontentment with Ping-O-Matic and has since gone on to develop his own ping service at King Ping.com. Currently there are 18 sites to ping your blog updates manually, by entering your blog title and url, then selecting the appropriate services for your blog.

Denise Wakeman gives her appraisal of the recently set up Pingoat service. There are a whopping 64 sites to announce your new blog posts to. Depending on the nature of your blog you can send updates notifications to the relevant sites. I’ve never come across such a large resource all in one place! I’ve added the Pingoat service to my blogging software so that each new post I make sends automatic notifications without me having to visit the site.

General = 30 sites
Non English Services = 27 sites
Special Services = 7 sites

This site has only been in fruition from 21st July 2005 but I can see it will be hugely popular for bloggers. Let’s hope the site will be around for a long time. Remember not to abuse these sites with fake pings. The result of this will most certainly lead to suspension of your right to use the service, or even worse, withdrawal of the automatic XML-RPC server.

Have you used the site before? Let me know your experiences after using the King Ping and Pingoat service.
