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.





My name is Darren Rowse and I’m a full time Blogger making a living from blogs like 
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
I added this to Ping-O-Matic.
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”.
Thanks again for the usefull information. I just pinged!
Great! Thanks for the headsup Darren.
nice! thanks.
Fantastic! I’ll be hopping on this asap today, Darren. Cheers, mate!
Wow thank you for posting this, seems like this will really help rankings in google for my blog.
Luckily, you have a few clued up readers…
Thanks. I just started my blog and I was wondering how in the world to get listed in the search engines.
Thanks Darren. I did not know that I could ping them directly. I am going off to ping them now. Cheers!
ahhh just what i was looking for… thanks!
