Another reason not to fear Blog and Ping.

By Jonathan Leger
Creator of BlogBurner.com

I had an epiphany regarding the Blog and Ping process and why it will never get the site that your blog points to penalized or banned.

Google has made it very clear that who your site links to can hurt you, but the sites that link to you cannot hurt you, they can only help.

The reason for this is obvious. If I have a website that links to a bunch of known spammer sites, then Google figures I must be associated with those spammers and, therefore, it is quite likely that I am a spammer. So Google may decide to penalize my site for linking to spammer sites.

However, if a spammer site links to me--I have no control over that. If Google were to penalize my site because a spammer site is linked to mine, they would open a HUGE Pandora's box. Search engine optimizers the world over would start creating spam sites on purpose and linking to the competition to try and get the competition sites penalized. Google doesn't want that, so they never count who links to you against you--only who you link to can count against you.

How does this effect Blog and Ping? Let's say that Google decides it doesn't like the blog and ping process (which I doubt will ever happen, but let's just say). If Google decided to penalize the site being linked to because of the blog they will be breaking their rule that who links to a site can't hurt it, and again, they would open up a Pandora's box as the SEO guys start blogging and pinging all of their competititor's sites.

The absolute worst thing Google can do is ignore links on blogs, which again would be a stupid thing to do because they would lose access to a lot of great, fresh content on the web.

It's just logical. Blog and ping is here to stay. So don't sweat it, just blog and ping it!

Hi!
Just wanted to say that I think this Blog and Ping idea is one of the best and most workable ideas I have seen in a long time.
As a matter of fact, I started my own blog, right here at Blogger, it's called ReapingMyKarma, and I hope to bring exposure to my new site, AffiliateFortune, which should be live on January 30th, as well as my main site The FortuneFinder.
I'll keep you posted, and I know it's gonna be great!
Congratulations on a winner and thank you!

Blog and Ping has really worked wonders as far as getting my scrapbook supply website indexed quickly.

My scrapbook supply site was in Yahoo the first day and it wasn't long before I was listed in Google.

Today I would like to show everyone a site I found that is a proven company that can and will give you complete credit report repair in 90 days or less Guaranteed!

I didn't try blog and ping technic yet, but I've heard allot about it, I wonder if it would work just as well for a small site like this InstaCupid site or this art gallery site?
It sure sounds good.

I agree with this post. Google cannot penalize for anything that would then allow someone else to sink your site. The worst they can do is ignore it.

I have used blog and ping successfully on several sites and areas on a variety of topics including hardware, software, books and accessories Thanks for the info.

Jonathan,

I agree wholeheartedly. I'm definitely a fan of the blog and ping process and see no reason it should be threatened. It doesn't even help search engine rankings - just gets the spiders to notice.

Rick and Jonathan:

I don't think I need to tell either of you how much I appreciate your hard work and dedication to teaching these techniques (Rick) or to automating the technique (Jonathan). Or for that matter to sharing the theories behind them both.

Honesty and collaboration are beautiful things!

Educating and being open to discussion with clients is what I consider top notch customer service.

I appreciate you both and am very happy to have fallen upon your pages on search engine inclusion.

Keep up the great work! Blogging and Pinging and BlogBurning have worked on three of my sites already. As each new site is launched I will be back - there's no cheaper or easier way to get spidered. :)

Your friend, your customer, your affiliate,

Laura Childs
