If you have a WordPress site and would like the world to know when you release a new post, you should have an option for the visitors to subscribe to your site. But, before people will know about your site and subscribe, you have to let the internet know that you have articles for the world to read. Yes, the search engines find your new content eventually, but, you can be proactive. There are many ways to let the world know that you have articles on your site. You can:
- Post to social websites (such as Facebook, twitter, etc)
- Join forums to mention your blogs casually (after finding a relevant forum for your site)
- You can use the 80/20 rule that you spend 80% of your time on other blogs sites getting people to know you as an authority by commenting on blogs, and providing information and content that refers back to your blogs
- You can ping the world and announce the release of your new articles.
To gain authority in the blogosphere, you should do all these things. This article focuses on the last item … announcing the new post to the world. Ping the world. To ping the world via WordPress, go to Settings/Writing, and head to the bottom of that page. At the end of the page there is an area labelled “Update Services.” In the box within that section, add the list of sites you would like notified of your new post.
Here is a nice list of target addresses to add to your ping list:
