Too Much Pinging Gets You Banned
By eProfitNews.org | July 22nd, 2008Did you know that the default settings of Wordpress can get your blog into trouble with the search engines as a result of pinging too often?
When you write the post, Wordpress sends out a ping. When you take a look at what you posted and see an error, it pings again when you correct that error. If you do that a few times, the auto-ping settings of Wordpress can get you banned for ping spamming.
Solution — install a free Wordpress plugin like “MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer” plugin which changes the settings so that only the original post gets pinged. All the subsequent edits dont get pinged.
A NICE FEATURE
If you future-date your posts (for example, if you write 7 posts over the weekend and set them to display one new post per day), then MaxBlogPress will send the ping when the post appears – not when you write it.
The new version of this handy plugin is now available. Here is a quick list of the new features added:
* Limit excessive pinging for frequently updated blog
* Get rid of useless ping services and save your blog from making unnecessary pings
* Know which ping service supports extended ping and which does not
* Know instantly when the blog was pinged and when it was stopped for unnecessary pinging
* Clear the ping log easily
* Now you can ping a huge number of ping services as well

Thanks, Pawan.
