It may seem obvious, but you need to ping many services after you post to your blog. Ping-o-matic (default Wordpress ping service) does not ping all the services you need to syndicate your blogs and get them spidered. Neither does blogspot, MSN, or Livejournal.
Here is the RSS ping list the we’ve been using.
http://www.rpc.pingomatic.com/ http://www.a2b.cc/setloc/bp.a2b http://www.api.feedster.com/ping http://www.api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2 http://www.api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2 http://www.blogshares.com/rpc.php http://www.blogsnow.com/ping http://www.blogstreet.com/xrbin/xmlrpc.cgi http://www.coreblog.org/ping/ http://www.ping.blo.gs/ http://www.ping.feedburner.com http://www.ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php http://www.ping.weblogalot.com/rpc.php http://www.popdex.com/addsite.php http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2 http://topicexchange.com/RPC2 http://xping.pubsub.com/ping/ http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping http://api.moreover.com/ping http://rpc.icerocket.com:10080/
Our goal is not to ping every service, only the more popular / important ones. We have sorted out the list ffrom more then 50 to this list since some ping locations often timed out and/or did not yield any measurable incremental benefit.
