When you publish a new post, WordPress automatically notifies a certain number of site update services by sending them a “ping”. Out of the box, WordPress has a list of 18 site update services. While that’s a good start, you should be able to get more links and generate more traffic by using a more comprehensive ping list. Here is a comprehensive list of services you can use:
