WordPress ping list is much useful for indexing new posts in various search engines like Google, Bing or Yahoo. When you ping a service it notifies the search engines that your blog, website, RSS feed, or podcast has recently been created or updated.
In default settings, WordPress has added 2-3 pings which are too less for indexing a web post. You have to increase this ping list for fast indexing. With the passage of time, I have compiled an updated WordPress ping list for 2016 given below. Just add this ping list in your dashboard and all your blog posts will get fast indexing in search engines within 24 hours. Promise.Updated WordPress Ping List For 2016:
I have been using this list for many years and it works great. I will make sure to update this list as things change.
