Starter List of Ping Servers for ExpressionEngine

Unlike Wordpress, ExpressionEngine doesn’t have any ping servers pre-installed, if you will - you’ve got to manually enter them yourself (Admin > Section Administration > Default Ping Servers). Ping servers, by the way, are used to alert search engines that new content has been posted to your blog. Keeping a blog doesn’t do you much good if nobody knows about it - hence the importance of “pinging” ping servers.

A quick Google search reveals that there are a lot of outdated lists of ping servers, and some of them are quite long. Here’s a small starter list of current ping servers:

• http://ping.bloggers.jp/rpc/
• http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2
• http://api.moreover.com/RPC2
• http://ping.blo.gs/
• http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2
• http://rpc.pingomatic.com
• http://www.blogpeople.net/servlet/weblogUpdates
• http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping
• http://ping.myblog.jp

How do you handle ping servers in ExpressionEngine? Have any more to add to the list?
