- Next The Ping

Some bloggers go the extra mile to ping and don’t solely rely on the blog software pings to do the job. A blog’s ping function is to update the servers for the purpose of announcing your new content updates to search engines and blog directories. They in turn crawl your blog for the latest updates and add them to their directories. This ping action is the reason why your blog’s content gets into search engines more quickly than that of a regular website.

Pings make blogs excellent search engine optimization tools. There are even instances where it only takes a day before your content gets listed into search engines.

Most blog platforms come with the ping function turned on, but to be sure look inside your blogs dashboard or control panel and make sure that it is turned on, so that every time you post the software ping automatically.

- RSS Feeds

RSS feeds are also very important. Not only will you be able to publish your content within a short duration but also replicate your content through the use of your RSS feed. Nowadays, the flow of your content is real-time and the RSS allows you to show your content to a wider audience.

There are several ways to promote your blog. Just keep in mind that there is no strategy for quick money when it comes to profitable blogging. It requires dedication, time, a strategy for the content and patience before the cash starts flowing in.
