SEO I-COM's last blog post..Search marketing will only succeed if you know your target market

Pinging services basically are notifying services. Pining is telling those services that your blog has been updated.

Added! :-)

@Odzyskiwanie - Pingomatic pings multiple pinging services but not all mentioned in this article.
there's another multi pinging service called autopinger which is quite good too.

@Ian - Technorati is just one blog aggregator. there are dozens of them, so why not pinging to them all?

Thanks for letting me know Gabi. I'll check it out!

Thanks for your reply Sara,

I think I'll give it a go at some point.
Cheers

Thanks for this great post. I've never actually used these services but I think I'll give it a go. At some point I've registered for scratchback but never got round to implementing it. Do you think that is worth using?

Yes I have to admit that I know a few blogging tricks. :-)

It's all about using the social networking sites to their maximum potential, cross-bookmarking between them and use the most popular social bookmarking sites as much as possible and so building credible solid profiles.

I see Mason, yes it might work differently on a Linux Machine. It might work for Gecko browsers only.

Yes I can have a look for you. Can I have the URL please?

You're welcome Corrado. ;-)

So here you go, you've got a solution for it now. :-)

Thanks for your comments/suggestions Rob.
Yes I will elaborate in more detail on another entry, in this one I just wanted to give an overview of all mistakes to avoid.

I normally go for HTML or XHTML Transitional and rarely strict.

100% valid code in my opinion is beneficial for search engines ranking because they'll spider the site much better, most visitors probably won't notice the difference unless the website is badly coded. However valid code may increase a website's speed therefore user experience.

I have to disagree with when saying that “Click Here” is acceptable, I always try to use anchor text that is relevant. This practice is highly advisable from the SEO point of view.
