Here is something, on your blog, in the footer.php before the </body> tag if you paste this code above it, everytime someone goes to your site they ping it from their own ip address.

Code !
Code:
<?php if (is_single()){  $link="http://pingomatic.com/ping/?title=".get_the_title()."&blogurl=".get_permalink()."&rssurl=".get_bloginfo_rss('rss2_url')."&chk_weblogscom=on&chk_blogs=on&chk_technorati=on&chk_feedburner=on&chk_syndic8=on&chk_newsgator=on&chk_feedster=on&chk_myyahoo=on&ch _pubsubcom=on&chk_blogdigger=on&chk_blogrolling=on&chk_blogstreet=on&chk_moreover=on&chk_weblogalot=on&chk_icerocket=on&chk_newsisfree=on&chk_topicexchange=on&chk_google=on&chk_tailrank=on&chk_bloglines=on&chk_postrank=on&chk_skygrid=on&chk_collecta=on&chk_audioweblogs=on&chk_rubhub=on&chk_geourl=on&chk_a2b=on&chk_blogshares=on"; ?> <iframe src="" border="0" scrolling="no" style="display:none;"></iframe> <?} ?>
 
What's the downside? Seems too good to be true. Or...what is the benefit of someone pinging your site in terms of traffic or any other benefit for that matter?

Intriguing...
 
That's also a good way to get your blog banned from the pinging services, as many of them will ban you for excessive pinging.

You are right dear !
 
if you can add delay like 1-2 days between pings then is worth to try :) else afaik for even medium/small sites this will be a huge downside . Multiple pinging with no update of the content from the pages itself will only bring your site into ignore list :) Also pinging is not helping you at all to actually increase your position in serps ! ever , pinging only gives you an way to let the search engines you have '' new '' content ready to be crawled lol . However this can be good trick if you manage to display some kind of '' new content '' maybe some tricks and plays with rss feeds ?:) hmmm that's can be good .
 
still could help if you had an autoblog of some sort. still a good idea. dont knock the OP, hes just sharing info.

I hope I didn't come across as knocking the OP. Just thought there was some disclosure issues that needed to be expanded on. Thanks for the share however.

I think a delay like 1-2 days between pings as keinehabe suggested is a good idea. Maybe use an A/B test plugin that alternates between 2 (or 3) duplicate child themes (leaving this footer code in 1 of them) so that it changes every 5-10 visits or more depending on the daily traffic.

That way you lighten the server load (of queuing ping requests) and also seems less complicated.

Thoughts?
 
not being a coder, i dont know how you'd actually write the php for it but i expect this it can be done if there isnt already a plugin for it - each time somebody comments on your blog post, the pinging script comes into play and alerts the pinging sites that you actuallly do have NEW content: THE BLOG COMMENT thats just been placed.

doing it that way you avoid being seen as a ping spammer, or am i wrong?
