What is the difference between Manual and Automatic Pings?

If you use our manual ping service you have to ping each post everytime you write it. You do this by going here.

However, if you claim your blog, your posts will automatically be pinged. You can also add tags to your post so that they get categorized correctly.

How does your service work?

Our service is extremely easy to use. You just have to enter the address of your newest blog post (not the main url to your blog). You write a short description of your blog post and then you are done. Please remember that good descriptions get read more. We then calculate how many clicks your blog post has received from our website. The post with the most clicks will be our top headline of the day.

I want to market a product I sell. Can I use your pinging service to do that?

Absolutely not. Our website is for real blogs only. Any attempt to break our rules might get you banned from the site. If you want to advertise on our site please e-mail advertising@blogupdate.org.

I have a porn blog with really nasty nude pictures. Am I allowed to post my blog on your site?

Absolutely not. Please read our rules.

I cannot find a category/tag that fits my blog. What do I do?

Just come up with a category of your own. Our system will instantly create a category that fits your blog. Pretty cool huh….

How come my blog post never reach the top spot on your website?

We rank blogs depending on how many people that did click on the post within the latest 24-hours. Maybe you need to write more creative headlines to get some more readers.

I have clicked 23,450 times on my own blog post. I still did not reach the top. What’s wrong?

Ahh…..so you are the one. We knew people would try to cheat so we decided to put in a function that detects cheating. Massive click will never get you anywhere in life.

My blog is just about my daily life. Am I still allowed to ping to you guys?

Yes absolutely.

Yesterday I pinged under the category fashion. Today I wrote a piece about Gore vs. Bush. Can I change category today?

Yes, in fact, make sure you do. Just match the category to your blog post. A post about Gore vs. Bush could go under categories, Politics, Bush, Gore, Democrats or anything else you could come up with.

Some categories are in bold. What the heck is up with that?

Categories in bold are the categories containing the most posts.

Someone is writing very creative headlines but when I click on them I end up on some site that sells Viagra.

Grrr…please tell us. This person will be banned instantly.

How can I ping your site automatically?

It’s not that complicated really. All you have to do is claim your blog.

Can you provide RSS feed on the hottest blogs?

Yes! You will see the RSS icon if you go to the posts under different tags.

I have a brilliant idea for your website.

Wow, let’s talk. Contact us at development@blogupdate.org.

Do you sell my e-mail address?

We might be tempted if we had it. However, you do not need to provide us with anything to post your blog on our site. Hence, we do not sell anything.

I want to use your site to spread propaganda and lies. Is that ok?

Well, we believe in free speech and we do not believe in censorship. In other words, we will not try to censor any of the pinged blog posts. Nor, do we have the time to investigate every claim you make. However, please remember that everything you write must be in accordance with the laws of the United States. In other words, hateful speech might be prosecuted under federal and state laws.

Someone is making threats about me in a blog post. What do I do?

Please go to a whois service. Find out who owns the blog and where it is hosted. Then send a copy of the threat to abuse@thewebhost.com In other words, if the blog is hosted by blogger then send an e-mail to abuse@blogger.com

Then call your local police office for further advice. Do not call us we have no authority in this case.

I cannot find my ping?

The following things might have happened:

1. The URL you provided us with was incorrect.
2. The description of your blog did not match the content of the post.
3. You have been banned from our site.
4. Someone using the same ip address as you have been banned from our site.
5. You did violate our rules in some other way.

If you feel that we have done a mistake please contact us at support@blogupdate.org.

I Hate/Love your site. I want you to know.

Absolutely, we want to know as well. Please send us an e-mail at info@blogupdate.org. We want to become the best blog service in the world so all your comments are welcome.
