Pinging Your Own Blog Is It Search Engine Spaming?
Author: je Dunn
Google at some point will probably come up with a way to filter
out the Blogg content that it deems "Spamish," but it would be
impractical to think that Google will discount blogs altogether.

Some Bloggs are becoming more respected in their niche
than many of the major media conglomerates as a source
reliable of information.

Pining your content, on your Blogg, to your RSS feed, on your
Yahoo
page has nothing to do with spam of any kind. Spam by definition
is
delivering a message or information to someone that doesn't want
it
and never requested it from you in the first place.

Pinging your own information to yourself effects, harms, or
inconveniences
no-one. Thus will never can or will be considered spam.

Now on the other hand if you are junk pinging snippets from
pages on your site just to provide links for the spiders to
follow and index you pages faster and you are using services
like "Ping-O-Matic" and blasting those feeds all over the
Internet, than you may cause yourself some problems.

The best practice to follow when blogging and pinging is to post
the complete content of a web page or article page, to ensure
that the post makes sense. Ask yourself if you visited your blog
and read that post, would it make sense and offer some value to
the reader.

All the major search engines have declared war on SE Spam.
Automated generated web pages that have made people quite a bit
of money over the past few years are disappearing faster than
cattle in area 51. (Oh, sorry I forgot area 51 doesn't exist.)

Now I can't say for sure that "Big Brother" is watching, but I
know that Google is.

So blog and ping real useable content.

Don't automate the process in a regimented four pages every
fifteen minutes or whatever, that will get your site noticed,
but not in the way you want it to.

If you intend to promote affiliate products on your sites do
more than just post a link to the product. You must provide some
usable information such as price comparisons or reviews to be
considered a worthwhile page by Google.
