Do you PING??

Is page rank (PR) important to you? Is search engine optimization (SEO) a goal of yours?

Then you need to let the major blog services and search engines know that your blog has been updated. You should be pinging a large number of these services each time you post something new on each of your blogs, and also each time you reply to a comment.

There are quite a few pinging services, but these are the ones that I have found most reliable and easy to use:

King Ping

and

Ping-O-Matic

Maybe you have some other pinging services you would like to recommend?

How Do YOU Respond to Comments??

You DO respond, don't you?? So many bloggers don't seem to, and it looks to me like they're missing half the fun, and value, of blogging.

I've noticed several different ways that bloggers use to positively respond to people who comment on their blogs.
Some bloggers email the person, thanking them for commenting and continue the discussion started on the blog.

Some bloggers respond to each comment with a comment on the blog, possibly continuing the discussion there.

Some bloggers use one comment to respond to several comments on the blog, sometimes continuing the discussion there, but not as often as the individual response does.

Some bloggers follow the commenter back to their own blog and thank them for the visit from there, maybe encouraging them to come again soon, and often commenting on their blog posts, too.
I'd be interested in knowing how YOU handle comments. Maybe you do something I haven't thought of. If so, please share with us! Which way do you think works best for you? Which way are you least likely to try?
