Pinging is one of the most effective, quickest and EASIEST things you can do to promote your article, blog, squidoo lens, website and pretty much any content you put up on the web.
Sign up for a pinging service. I personally use Ping-O-Matic so this article will address using that service in particular. Go to www.pingomatic.com and sign up for an account.
- Step
Assuming you already have content you'd like to promote (if not, get writing some articles on eHow and try it out!), open up two browser
windows . In one, direct yourself to www.pingomatic.com and in the other open up the page you're wanting to promote.
- Step
In the first blank of Ping O Matic you will see stats to insert your blog's name. Don't worry if it's not a blog. If it's for an eHow article, for example, insert your article's name.
- Step
Now, in the next blank, you insert the url (www.yourarticleaddress.com). I like to copy/paste the url from the other browser window to prevent making any mistakes.
- Step
Check all the boxes to the sites you'd like to notify of your content. I usually check every one of them except for maybe the audio one in the second block under 'specialized services'.
- Step
The last step is to simply click 'send pings' button. A new page will appear telling you the sites that were notified of your content.
- Step
Hit the back button on the pingomatic page and start pinging other articles or pages you may have to promote.
- Step
Be sure to bookmark the page so you can easily go and ping every new article or page you create. You should see traffic results very quickly.
- Step
Each time you make a change to that article page; adding/changing photos or the smallest of text changes.. absolutely anything... go ahead and ping it again!
- Step
I will be adding more social bookmarking and internet marketing tips and methods very soon. Add me as a friend on eHow so you can check back with me for more content that I hope will benefit your efforts here on eHow.
