Which Services To Ping When You Write A New Post

A recent post I made in week 2 of Pimp My Blog, made me realise I’ve never written about the benefits of correctly pinging directories and services when you write a new post.  Ensuring that you ping services like Technorati when you add a new post, will force them to crawl and index your site, [...]

Update: Progress On Cutting Down On Plugins

Yesterday, I made significant progress on my goal to cut down the number of plugins I use. I’ve even removed one of my previously ‘untouchable’ plugins, the Landing Sites plugin, after doing a Head-2-Head of its results against the Related Posts Plugin, and finding that the Related Posts Plugin actually produced more relevant results.

Congratulations John On Making The Technorati 100

JohnTP has been running a Technorati Favourites exchange for the last week or so, and he’s already made the 100 Most Favourited (is there such a word?) Sites. At first, I couldn’t see why he was bothering as the Technorati favourites scheme is pretty poor, but then he revealed his plan was to get into [...]

How Do You Get A Digg Ban Lifted?

Connected Internet has a dark secret - it’s banned by Digg. A couple of months ago, readers started emailing me to say they were having problems submitting articles. Despite emailing abuse@digg.com numerous times, I haven’t been able to get the ban lifted. They won’t even reply to my emails.
I’m not sure why [...]

Why Is Yahoo’s Search Bot Constantly Crawling My Site?

I like to keep an eye on my ‘Who’s Online‘ page which can be quite informative and a very quick way of gauging how much traffic I’m getting.
One thing I’ve noticed is that Yahoo’s Search Bot is constantly crawling my site, and that there are always multiple instances running at the same time.  Does anyone [...]
