Wordpress Ping List

[jtprattmedia]

I've had some clients ask me about their Wordpress ping list, what to have or not have in the list, and I've come across some people (this year) touting *how great* having a huge WP ping list is. I can't disagree more - and wrote this post to back it up:

My question is - what do you think? Are you still using a "ping list" even though a large number of places aren't even accepting them anymore?

Nice read!

I think you just gave me some good ideas for how to update/improve the Ping Optimizer plugin. I've been mulling it over for quite a while, for several reasons. And, it gives me some direction for some suggested core patches that might one day (hopefully) make the plugin obsolete!

I leave mine empty. XML-RPC pings are dead. Use PushPress and RSSCloud plugins instead, and you'll get much better results.

Wow, my intent was not to get a response from Mr. cbnet himself! I'm glad the post could be of some help - I get asked about "ping lists" far too much.

There's really nothing much special about "Mr. cbnet". ;)
