Is Google Aware of your Efforts?

For the Love of Google

Lets face it, everything we do on our websites, has one main goal, or at least it should play a large part of your thinking…  Google.  Google is our lifeblood.  Get ranked in the top 3 of Google, and you are in traffic heaven.  So does Google know what you have done on your website today, yesterday, a week ago???

*Calling….* Yes, hello Google, can you send some spiders over and check my website today?

How do you tell Google, or any other search engines out there that you have done your homework and updated your blog…  If it were just that easy, pick up the phone, call 1-800-GOOGLE and ask for a spider… Well, actually it is that easy, and I want to show you how to do it, no phone required.

Please Ping Me,

Pinging is the tech term to send a request.  This request can be as simple as, are you up.  To Google, and other search engines, a ping can mean, I have done some work, please come take a look and update your files.  Without getting into to much technical gobbly gook, let me introduce to you Pingler does offer (which I participate) a fee based automation, that allows you to add all your websites and they take care of pinging the search engines as often as you set, up to every 3 days.  This service cost as little as $2.99 a month.  So for these than the cost of cappuccino, they do all the hard work for the month.

How effective is it?

One of my sites I manage SendOutChocolates.com is 3 months old, and I have been actively working the SEO.  I was sitting at about 4.5 million from Alexia, and within a week of pinging my site, it was at 3.2 million.  Now, I don’t think this was all due to the ping, but it definitely had a large part in it.

    Hey Kris,

    This is a great tip. Many people, for some reason, don't know about Pingler – and it's incredibly effective. I've been blogging for over a year and just learned of Pingler a few months ago. The key is to be sure your blog lists as many ping sites as possible, for maximum exposure.

    Hey Kris,

    Thanks for the info on Pingler! I didn't know about that one.

    There is another you can use for free which is Pingoat and it works very well.

    In Success,

    Hi Kris,

    thank you for your article.

    I like you sense of humor – 0800 Google :-)
    I learned something new – pingler, probably healthier than the cappuccino.

    Cheers,
