The ping list was added to the WordPress Update Service, from the dashboard > setting >> writing.

There are longer lists out there, but the danger is that some of the services in these WordPress blog ping lists are intermediaries, forwarding update notices to multiple sites, often creating unintentional overlap which can result in 3 or more pings to the same service for every update. The impact could be that your blog gets labeled as Spam.

Why not update your WordPress Blog ping list today to get your content the visibility it deserves?
