The benefits of pinging a blog every time you update it are many and varied, but the single most important reason to do this is to alert potential visitors that your blog has been updated. That will invariably attract visitors to your blog, which is what you want and why you have a blog in the first place.

The other night I was on the receiving end of the awesome power of this online phenomenon. Read on…

Recently, I put together a new website called www.alt-cures.com but it’s not quite ready for me to start advertising it. The reason being is that I haven’t added any informative articles to it yet. The site does contain a good list of relevant affiliate products, so it’s ready to open shop, but I wanted a few good articles in the article database before I started promoting it all over the place.

Whilst I was tinkering with the site a few of days ago, I decided to add a blog and to get the ball rolling I posted a “hello world” first post. Then I duly pinged it, using the usual ping sites, like “king ping”, “pingoat” and my own Honest Way Ping Blog page.

Last night I logged into my clickbank account and nearly fell off my chair when I saw I’d made an affiliate sale off that site!

Now, for a fledgling website that no-one should have known about, that’s an awfully strong endorsement for the power of blog and ping!!!

Thanks for calling in - I’ll be pinging this blog about now!
