You may have heard the term, Ping Service, in the past and wondered what in the world a “ping” was anyway.

Basically, a “ping” is just an electronic notification sent from one computer (or server) to another. There are a variety of reasons one might want to “ping” but the most common one is to alert the blog directories and search engines that you have posted new content to your blog.

This is one of the reasons why blogging is so effective and why using a Ping Service can boost your results. Many Ping Services allow you to “ping” many directories at once and this helps your new content to be exposed to a wider audience.
