We always want our blog posts to get indexed by Search Engines as soon as possible. Typically we have to wait for Search Engine bots to crawl our posts and index them.
But there’s a better way – Using WordPress Update Services (Ping Services).
Ping Services are tools that you can use to notify search engines that your blog has been updated with new posts. Ping is an XML-RPC based push mechanism by which a blog notifies a server that its content has been updated.
In my earlier days of blogging, I used to ping my blog URL manually. But it’s time-consuming. Later I came to know about WordPress Update Services.
WordPress Update Services work automatically. When you publish a new post or modify an old post, WordPress automatically notifies the ping sites.
Here I’ll be sharing an updated WordPress Ping List for 2019. And I’ll also show you how to extend WordPress Ping List.
Updated WordPress Ping List For 2022
Here is a list of working ping sites that will help you to ping more services. This is the same list that I am using here at RoadToBlogging.com.

How To Extend WordPress Ping List
By default, WordPress uses only one ping service – Ping-o-Matic. The best thing is, that this single ping service lets many other services know that you’ve updated your site.
But it’s a good idea to extend the services. In fact, it’s one of the important things to do after installing WordPress.
Now let’s see how to extend your ping list.
Go to WordPress Dashboard > Setting and click on ‘Writing’.
You will find “Update Services” at the bottom of the page. Just copy the above list and paste it there. Then click on “Save Changes”.
That’s it. You are done. Now WordPress will notify all the above ping services when you publish a new post or modify an existing one.
If you happen to be updating your posts a lot, you can consider using WordPress Ping Optimizer plugin. It controls excessive pinging. However, if you don’t update your posts frequently, you don’t need to use this plugin.
Hope this post helped you to update your ping services.

This is terrible. Google is pinged 20 times, there is pingomatic and all the lists pingomatic updates by itself already.
And you are not flagged as a spammer yet??
Could you please explain why we should ping google and the pingomatic sublists when we already submitted our sitemap.xml please?
Do I really need to use this list on my blog?
Quite Big list you have share.. thanks for sharing it with us.. can you please tell me this pinging website really helps?
Yes, it helps in indexing, but not in ranking.
Great post, thank you for writing it! One question. Does non-english WordPress users using this or other list. Are those services language-dependent or not?

It’s mainly for indexing.

Hello Istiak Rayhan,
Thanks for the nice list about WordPress ping list. From your post, I am knowing that you used this list in your WordPress dashboard. Is it really true? for faster indexing a WordPress user?
Nice List
Thank you so much for provide updated list
Thanks
Thank you so much for this post, really helpful. I am just starting out again and learning again and want to get SEO just right.
Hello Istiak Rayhan, Let me clarify you that most the links mentioned above aren’t working or might die. Can you please update the list.
Thanks for notifying. I’ll check it soon.
Really working ping list. I found this list in yestreday and i put it into my site.

Thank you

How to reset wordpress ping address, becouse its not helpful for indexing. plzz help me for boost seo on my web site mr-lyrics.com
Updating ping list is not the only way to get your blog indexed. Read this: https://roadtoblogging.com/blog-indexed-google-24-hours/
Thanks for your list .I have a question which is better “auto ping or manually ping” ?
Just update the ping list. WordPress will do the rest.
I always use normal ping website to get index my WordPress blog but after reading your article about WordPress ping list 2017 I’m so happy…
Thanks for your time and information you share with us.
I really appreciate you!
Glad I could help. Let me know if you need any other bits of help.
This really a good list. I had no idea about WordPress ping sites. I used normal ping sites to get the quick index for my WordPress sites. But now I know this WordPress updated ping list is more effective to get faster indexing.
Really important list, Istiak. Thanks for sharing with us. I will use this list on my site.
Thanks for the list, I just update mine and am expecting the outcome in a short period of time
Hi,
One question here, in WordPress, when add a new post in the “posts” section then only it will notify these ping services or when we create a new webpage in WordPress in “pages” section with some content – in this case also these ping services will be notified?
Yes, it will be notified.
is there any plugin that can optimize post for ping or update ping list?
Hi Istiak, Thanks for this list. I want to know one thing, If some of the ping sites are outdated or dead and no longer working and I have pasted it to my WordPress writing option, Does it cause any thing? I mean is it good, bad or neutral. Thanks!
It won’t create much problem.
wow really cool list,
how many links that can I add to my WordPress? is there any limit?
If I edit my post and click update. Will WordPress automatically ping again?
There is no limit. But I’d recommend excessive pinging. And yes, WordPress will ping automatically.
Bro, I updated the ping list you provided. After publishing each post WordPress automatically submit to search engines or I have to manually enter my URL to ping websites?
which one is better? To Index my New content
No, you don’t need to do manual pinging.
Please Don’t go crazy with a massive list of pinging services
Avoid using long ping list on the internet that contain 100-150 services which simply do not exist anymore. (Most of mentioned ping sites in the above list removed).
If you have a long ping list, you’re just adding to the noise because they often contain URLs that are either outdated/dead or might go offline soon or late.
Thanks for the information. I’ll update the list soon.
Thank you for the reply. I may have to clarify myself a bit.
Just after initially posting an article, each time I have revised it, not actually updated my blog. It has been to revise the layout of a sentence or paragraph. I am afraid I can do it about 7 or 8 times within an hour of first posting. If it pings each and every time I revise, will it be regarded as taking advantage the system?
I have to congratulate you on such an excellent blog. It is very clear and easy to understand. I am going to implement many of your lessons. Things have changed massively since I first started blogging. It was very simple back then. So now it is like starting again. Thank goodness for sites like yours.
Thanks
Pamela
I’d recommend you to revise your posts properly before publishing the posts. It’s the best practice. However, if you have to update your posts several times within an hour, you can use WordPress Ping Optimizer plugin. It will control the excessive pinging.
And thanks for your kind words. It means a lot to me.
Hello Istiak
Firstly thank you for such an excellent blog. I came to it by searching for a ping list.
I have a question .
I am constantly revising my posts before I settle on being satisfied with what I have written. I notice at times over 20 revisions. I do write it out first in a document but still change after I have published.
Does WP ping each and every time I update and publish my posts?
I feel that this would lead to overdoing the pinging and would not like to get banned by Google. Can I prevent this ?
Thanks.
Pamela
No, it won’t be a problem as long as you update your posts with new information. It actually helps Google to know about your updated information. I myself update my posts frequently.
Thanks for the huge list, I have a doubt. If we add these many links will Google penalize for doing so? Anyway,I am gonna try this list for my blog. Thanks a lot for this awesome post :)
It won’t be a problem, bro. Feel free to use this ping list.
thanks bro
Thank You Istiak Rayhan!
For this ping list. I will add all of them in my WordPress writing section.
But I have a question. Adding this list helps in traffic increase OR is there any penalty of adding so many links?
Because I have already added few of them.
Adding this list will help you to get indexed quickly. And there is no penalty of adding so many links.
I did not find Update Services option in the writing section. Is it removed in WordPress 4.5.2?
No, dear. It’s still there. Just scroll down and you will find it on the bottom.
Sir, I am using a multisite network for WordPress. Yesterday i found that it was removed for such network installation. Now I am using Activate Update Services plugin for this functionality. Thanks for ping list great work you have for new bloggers like me.
Hello Istiak,
Thank you for the long list of ping services. Very useful. Will add them to my “Update services” section right now. Thanks!
Thanks a lot, Istiak.
Actually, I have a question, Is there any penalty for Google side if we ping these all ping server at once ???.
And what if I use Sitemap submission to Google instead of pinging these.
It will be great if you clarify my doubt.
Thanks again.
No, it’s not a problem.
Submitting sitemap and using ping are two different things. Sitemap submission helps you to get indexed by Google and Bing. Pinging helps you to get indexed by other search engines including Google and Bing.
This is hugely helpful. Thanks so much for sharing the list!
Hello Istiak,
Thank you for the long list of ping services. Very useful post. Already I add them to my “Update services” section right now. Thanks!
Glad you found it useful.
Thanks for the list, I have updated my ping list with this as well. Cheers.
thanks for this ping list for fast indexing, i have updated my wordpress blog ping list with this huge list.
Great post I actually looking for this ping list finally found here
its an awesome I have copied and updated on my blog
thank’s for sharing it
Glad I could help.
Great Ping List, I just copied and paste my WordPress Update Service. Anyway Is there any Problem If We Use thousands of Ping Sites to Our WordPress Blog?
Not sure, but it won’t be a good idea. Above list is enough.
Hello Istiak,
Thank you for the long list of ping services. Very useful. Will add them to my “Update services” section right now. Thanks!
Hi Istiak,
This is really an awesome list of WordPress Ping. I just updated my old ping list. Hope it will works better.
Hey Istiak,
Great post indeed!
I updated the list.. But still I am worried that this could cause negative SEO. Are you 100% sure that it would not be harming our sites?
Don’t worry. It’s 100% safe. WordPress handles pings nicely.
Hello Istiak,
This is first time I have visited to your blog. I am amazed to see lots of informative context that suites my taste. So, I bookmarked your blog. Specially thanks for providing this huge list of ping sites. See your new articles soon
Glad you find my blog useful.
You are amazing but is there no dangerous to use this list on our websites ?
Awesome list of ping sites but this is too much!
Are you Sure it wouldn’t make a negative effect on Search Engine by using this huge list??
I’m Confused now
There is nothing to worry about. You can use this list. I’ve been using this for a while.
Thanks for the Great List of Ping sites. My blog posts are taking too much time to get index. Today when I was checking the ping list I found that only default ping sites are available and other ping site has been lost, may be because of the update. Hoping now my blog post will get index faster as before.
