Website pinging for ranking

If you ping a website, will that boost the ranking? This worked in the old days, what about now?

No... well not really, kind of sort of, Lol

You can use ping with a referral URL to get traffic. How? This can be used to get people who look at stats to visit your site to see where the traffic is coming from when they see your referral link in their stats. I did this and got 12M+ visits and a couple of bad reviews. If you want to show up on Google analytics you need "Google pass proxies" and other things to actually show up. It is always getting harder to execute this type of referral pings with search engines or to get proxies that actually defeat Google's detection. You can also use a ping for search engines to let them know that your site has been updated, but go easy! It does work with moderation. If you are slick and find other distribution channels that won't block the ping then you can make a fortune.

Well, Pinging is just like a notification about changes that were made in a site. However as far as I know Pinging will not help your website to get backlinks, and neither to improve ranking in search engines. It is just as if you are giving a nudge to search engines so as to inform them that you website has been changed or updated in one way or another. It could help a site to get indexed a bit faster, but even that is not guaranteed. Over pinging is not recommended, and if you really want to boost your ranking you should focus on building backlinks for instance, not on pinging.

Pinging the website won't boot any rankings. Not even indexing a new page with pinging works anymore. I prefer using "fetch as google" from the Google Search Console. Gets my new articles index in minutes.

Well I heard a while back that pinging helped with ranking your website content, so I have it on my checklist of things to do immediately after publishing my content.

Now I heard recently here that pinging does nothing so now I get all confused by it. The thing that gets me is that my content gets ranked usually fast and well, and that was included in my method so I can't see that it hurts your website?

I use Pingoat and well I can't answer your question for sure but I always do it and I am going to just keep doing it.

Hi sanfora thanks for your question. It has debate is ping really worked for search ranking or not? Many webmaster thinking ping is working for getting search ranking and other thinking this is not help much for getting search ranking except backlink. My consideration support always second one. If you only ping your site without good amount of quality backlink, your website never be count on Google for search ranking. So, I think only good SEO planning help to your site for getting search ranking. Do, good on-page and off-page SEO by yourself or from other SEO expert, that may help to increase your site on search ranking.

My understanding of the ping function is just to check if the particular IP address is working or the site is online. That was our way of checking our office site when it was being tested. Maybe you got the idea that it can affect the ranking because pinging is like accessing the site. But I guess it is accessing the site in a different way so a ping does not necessarily equate to traffic.
