Google Blog Search Offers Pinging to Get Your Blog Indexed
Google today announced that you can now ping their blog search service to let them know when you’ve updated.
You can manually ping it here or do it automatically if you’re a WP user by adding http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 to your ‘update services’ (under options/writing).
They will continue to watch other ping services so if you’re already listed in blog search you’ll probably be fine but it never hurts to ping them directly.

Cool, this will hopefully speed up indexes. I have notices MSN is kicking google’s behind the last few months.

That’s for that! I’ve added my sites in and Google picked it up extremely fast! They got something from my blogspot site as little as 3 minutes ago. :O

Google has been very very slow for our entire blogging network. IT happens but MSN is much faster!

Well Google seems to be very slow to crawl site created with blogspot and other free blog hosting services.
They started http://www.blogchalking.com/ for speeding up but nothing happened. To them “free” means “spam”.

I’ve found anecdotaly that it finds new blog posts faster than other blog search engines and some very rough research we did backed that conclusion up. [...]
