I have no doubts that blogging and pinging really helps to get my pages indexed FAST. And yes, it can be as fast as 2 days. Just take a look at my indexed pages over the past few days. Don’t take my word for it, download the PDFs if you don’t believe the numbers!

I just installed Word Press blog on my VincentRich.com web space. I called it Vincent’s Blog & Ping Experiments. Damn! I should’ve used it before trying to use Blogger for my blog and ping experiments.
I have used it for less than 1 hour and I believe it has the following advantages over Blogger run blogs:
And the bad…

Here’s my current report on my blogging and pinging for InternetMarketingGuy.com.
Current Indexed Pages
Altavista - 29 (up from 8 yesterday)
Google - 2 (same)
MSN - 0 (Same)
Yahoo - 8 (up from 8 yesterday)
Please download the indexed pages as of 17 May 2005 before the indexed pages change tomorrow.
Ok… I am convinced that the blog and ping technique works! But I have to be honest with your about the Instant Blog & Ping software because its not blogging 100% of the pages I submitted to it. I submitted a post to Phil Wiley’s affiliate forum and someone had a similar experience too.
Just take a look at my 2 blogs:
Blog 1 should have at least 347 blog posts. Blog 2 should have 52 blog posts. I have lost count on how many missing pages on blog 1. Blog 2 has 22 missing blog posts.
My guess is Blogger has discovered we are abusing their blogs by using autmation software to blog our “junk” posts just to get them spidered and indexed. When I use the Instant Blog & Ping software to blog, I do not see any new records …

I just started my blog and ping process for Oasis Fanatic. I created a blog at OasisFanatic.Blogspot.com and you’ll see some of the oasis lyrics of my site posted there.
There seems to be some problem with blogger. Some of my blogs did not get posted! I am sorting this out with the Instant Blog & Ping software author. But it seems like its a problem with Blogger instead! The software is doing its job right but blogger seems to be deleting some of my posts! I saw my posts at InternetMarketingGuy.Blogspot.com and after an hour or so, some of my new posts disappeared.
I took some screenshots of the Instant Blog & Ping software for this site…
I created a text file of the URLs I want to blog and ping and loaded them into the Instant Blog & Ping software. In the 2nd screen you will see 347 URLs in the list. I wonder how long that would take with my current speed of 3 pages per 20 minutes? I am running 2 blog …

I recently updated my site OasisFanatic.com with search engine friendly links. One of my main reasons for doing that is to get more of my pages indexed by the search engines because most of my pages are "dynamic" PHP pages.Here’s what I mean by "dynamic":All my files require a "paremeter" in the URL to let the database know which record to display on the PHP page. Some people describe these database driven pages as "created on the fly".My Old URLs looked like this:http://www.oasisfanatic.com/discography/track_view.php?album_track_id=1040Notice the question mark "?" followed by the text "album_track_id=" and a unique number? That is how the PHP page tells the database to display the correct information with the number "1040".After implementing some search engine friendly upgrades with Apache web server’s "mod_rewrite" module….My New URLs look like this:http://www.oasisfanatic.com/discography/oasis/song/0/1040/keep-the-dream-alive.htmlNow my URLs end with *.html and I have every Oasis song title as the file name. The 2 URLs above refer to the same page! These URLs look very much like the Amazon.com style URLs. Obviously the new URLs will help me …

I started the Instant Blog & Ping software to blog 3 pages every 25 minutes to my InternetMarketingGuy.BlogSpot.com blog. You’ll see some the titles of my articles and link to the article at the blog.
The Instant Blog & Ping software is now minimized in my windows PC and its running all by itself. I have 40+ pages to blog and ping and I estimate it will take 5 hours + to complete all the pages.
I took some screenshots of the Instant Blog & Ping software for you to see how it all works:
I used this free thumbnail generating software called EasyThumb to create the above thumbnails. No need to spend money on similar software when this one can do it for free!
Account Settings - Screen 1
This is where I entered my blogger account details. Once you do that, the software will be …

Before I start my blog and ping process, I will first state how I will test my blog and ping software and measure the results.
Current Indexed Pages
Altavista - 11 (but I can see only 7 on the page)
Google - 2
MSN - 0
Yahoo - 7
Please download the indexed pages as of 14 May 2005* before I start blogging and pinging my pages.
Current Traffic
I have 47 unique visitors to InternetMarketingGuy.com in May 2005 from the 1st day of the month to the 13th. I believe most traffic came from this blog so you can’t take 47 visitors as search engine traffic.
I also have 2 spiders visit me on the 13th. They are the search engine spiders from Google and Yahoo.
Please download my AWStats generated web site traffic log as of 14 May 2005* before I start blogging and pinging my pages.
Blogging and Pinging Will Start At Any Moment Now….
I will be using the Instant Blog & Ping software to automate the process because I now have over 40+ pages generated from my Article Automator software. That makes a total of …

If you’ve been reading my past previous series on blogging and pinging, you will know that I have a crappy affiliate site at InternetMarketingGuy.com. I don’t really care if anyone ever visits that site because I am using it as a training ground to hone my affiliate site building skills.
The purpose of this new test is to find out:
It would be interesting to find out if it all works out. What I hope will happen is that my articles get indexed and I get over 100 visitors to my site per day without paying anything for the traffic. Its all free search engine traffic.
What I want visitors to do when they reach my site…
I am still figuring out a way to structure my affiliate sites in such a way that the entry page is short page dedicated to invite …

I just read a blog post by Anik Singal. He mentioned in his blog:Alright, today we’re going to talk about building an opt-in list. If you’re an affiliate and you are NOT already building an opt-in list, you’re killing your business. What you’re building is a SHORT-TERM business that goes bankrupt the day you stop advertising.I have been thinking a lot about my PPC campaigns and I must admit there isn’t much "leverage" to my money making efforts. Once my PPC ads are down or if they are not ranked high enough, I will have no business. If Google decides to change the rules for affiliates to make it harder for us, that only means a harder life for me.Building an opt-in list is something I MUST do in order to get ahead and stay ahead. I just installed a new newsletter script to handle all my current lists and future list at 1 domain. Previously I thought of installing the WebInsta mailing list script on each domain. But after doing that for 2 domains, I realised its not scalable at all. Its takes too …
