 Hey all!
 
 Exactly how long does it take for Google to index your blog/website after you ping? And is it better to ping during the week and not on the weekend? How often should you add new content to your blog/website? Thanx for the info?

 One of the ways to find out is to go to googlealerts.com and add your url then when you add a post and ping your blog,you will be notified know when google indexes your site.
 
 I like to set mine at 'as it happens' and have the notification sent to my email.
 
 I would love to add content to my blogs every day but I don't have time so I aim for a couple times a week....
 
 I am sure others will pop by here soon but that is my few cents worth.

 Just avoid pinging too often, which can be seen as spamming by the ping sites. A good rule is to ping only when you have made a change to your site.

 I have a Wordpress website, so I hear that it will ping for you once you have updated the site. At least that will be one less thing I will have to think about when I update
