How to Avail WordPress Ping Facility to get Max Exposure and Inbound Links

For WordPress user, updating & notifying different services & search engines becomes more easy as wordpress as integrated Update Services Feature.

Update Services are tools you can use to let other people know you’ve updated your blog. WordPress automatically notifies popular Update Services that you’ve updated your blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time you create or update a post.

In turn, Update Services process the ping and updates their proprietary indices with your update. Now people browsing sites like Technorati or Sphere can find your most recent posts!
