Blog Ping Hack

2006-07-26

#Neat Tricks and Hacks

I feel kinda bad about not keeping this site updated as much as I should lately, but I’ve been really busy with the newest projects. Seriously folks, I really do plan to put more time into bluehatseo I just need to get some of the stuff on my desk done first.

In the mean time, since you all have been so loyal and visiting way more often than I actually update. I’ll keep ya busy with a small wordpress hack I’ve developed.

What Is It? It’s technically not a mod or addon, its just a small template hack. It causes every person that reads one of your posts to automatically ping that post to all the most popular ping services through Pingomatic. This actually saves you a lot of time and creates a nice little circle of promotion. The more visitors your wordpress blog gets the more it gets spread. It also is 100% safe from proxies and possibilities of getting banned from ping services, since every ping comes from the visitor not from your server. I really do hate sending out blogs n’ pings through the server. Infact I avoid it at all costs.

How Do I Install It? Login to your wordpress account

Click on the Presentation tab

Click on the Theme Editor

Edit the Single Post(singlepost.php)

Scroll through the code till you find Right below it put this snipplet of code in pinghack.txt And your done!

I have plans in the future of writing a Blue Hat Technique for using this same principle to boost the power of blog networks through “interpinging.” This will in a sense utilize the blogs that get more traffic to boost the blogs that get less traffic, which in return boost the rest of the blogs. Causing an upward spiral in a closed blog network. If anyone has a unique idea for this and would like to get featured on Blue Hat SEO.com by actually writing the Blue Hat Technique you are welcome to. I’ll be happy to post it up. If you’d like to see one of the strange effects of this trick click here.

What is the point of multiple pings by others? Does it really matter if the pinged sites receive 1 or 100 pings? Does the site doing the pinging appear on some list of latest updates or higher up on a list of popular sites?

I also noticed that the iframe code sets the current page as the home page for Pingomatic rather than the true blog home page. Do you feel there’s value in this too?

Inquiring minds want to know

Hi, I am trying to apply this hack, but in all the themes I have downloaded I cannot find this “”. Did this apply to wordpress 1.5 templates? It would be cool if you could point me in the right direction to getting this to work with the latest templates.

Thanks Mike

hmm, it seems the code has been stripped out of the above. its the php require posts dot php that was meant to show between the “”

thanks

Thank You

Is this technique actual at this moment or do you get banned now for this?

what is the difference between pinging from your server to pinging as user? Is there a Ip-Filter of the pinger, cause Domain and Server are still the same.

Shawn May 21, 2007 at 7:18 PM

I looked in my Cutline Theme template and can find the line of code you referenced. I guess yoru post doesn’t apply to the last couple versions of WordPress??

Jun 8, 2007 at 1:12 PM

Hi Eli,

I can’t for the life of me find that line to place the ping hack under.

Eli or anyone, is there somewhere else I can put it?

Hi,

Thank you, It’s very useful for me

Does your hack work with Typepad?

neil strauss Jan 22, 2008 at 10:20 AM

I don’t understand. How does pinging more = more traffic?

BORAT Feb 17, 2008 at 1:11 PM

jagshemash!

Neil Strauss Pinging improves trafic because blog is more up to date in blog search engines.

Jay Feb 20, 2008 at 12:58 AM

I cant seem to find in my template. ca i just add the iframe somewhere at the bottom of single post template?

Credit card finder Mar 1, 2008 at 1:05 PM

From what I have read, the newer versions of WP do not use the tag. ANyone know how to update this for newer versions?

Prosperity Writer Mar 24, 2008 at 1:39 AM

Pinging your site once or twice a day is enough. This technique is an over kill

UK Payday Loan Apr 5, 2008 at 10:55 PM

This will no longer work with 2.5

rent back Apr 11, 2008 at 8:59 AM

i thik you can just add the ifram anywhere if i’m not correct as the newer versions do not support the tag

hack myspace Jun 17, 2008 at 7:14 PM

I dont think this has much of a use now, or maybe only if your blog is updated very very often that it needs many pings.

police cars for sale Jul 13, 2008 at 10:21 AM

Might be good if you have a large madlib site which does not have all it’s pages indexed in the serps. If a user browses to a page that isn’t indexed it will then be pinged bringing the spiders with it. I can see how this can work…Or maybe have the code on a forum so that new posts will get indexed quicker?

Atlanta SEO Sep 4, 2008 at 6:51 PM

Wow, this is a really great idea. Pinging the sites multiple times from the IP is ignored, but if multiple people do it for the same site, I don’t think it could hurt.

Matt Oct 11, 2008 at 10:12 AM

Great. Got a similar code from Linkyme but i guess his site is down now. Well thanks for bringing the flame back.

Great idea and i am going to give it a try for sure.

Thanks

Ruben Zevallos Jr. Apr 15, 2009 at 4:53 AM

Well, this should be a very good idea, but I think, if those pings are to much, what the servers will think? They could think it´s is SPAM?

I turned this into a WordPress plugin I called Ghost Pinger…you can get it free at ghostpinger.com.

I also noticed that the i frame code sets the current page as the home page for Pingomatic rather than the true blog home page.It would be cool if you could point me in the right direction to getting this to work with the latest templates.

Your competitor also appears to be running an affiliate program which is a nice way to collect on-topic inbounds (assuming the aff program uses clean links and doesn’t redirect thru a middleman like CJ). A side benefit of the affiliate program is that he can also explain away some potentially nefarious linking activity by blaming it on “rogue affiliates” (assuming he ever gets called out).
