Many real estate agents of today have realized the potential of the Internet for expanding their business online. Blogging has become a powerful instrument for achieving online social marketing stability. Blog pinging in relation to blogging, has gained a lot of importance due to its numerous advantages. In context to blogging, ping is actually a push mechanism through which any weblog notifies a server when its data or content gets updated and this whole mechanism is based on XML-RPC. Thus, the blog pinging feature can be useful for essential and important notification purposes.
On using blog pinging, a signal of XML-RPC will be delivered to either one or sometimes more "ping servers". Now a list is produced of blogs having new and updated material. Many tools of blog authoring can ping multiple servers every time you create a new blog post or update an existing one.
If you wish to utilize blog pinging for enhancing your real estate social marketing advertising, you will find many options that can help you achieve this. There are many open ping servers that allow other web services to gain a subscription of a blog list that have pinged them recently. Search engines of blogs can also produce new results instantly by polling those blogs that have been newly updated.
Other than open ping servers, blog pinging also includes the usage of proprietary ping servers. These servers usually collect information and data only for their individual and personal applications and is activated mainly by a bulk of famous search engines.
The distinction between open and proprietary ping servers is that the latter possessing their own applications for subscription, do not feel compelled to share their obtained ping information with the other servers. Since they do not share their obtained data, you might need to ping a considerable number of different servers for achieving your targeted publicity for your business. For carrying out blog pinging in these cases, you can turn to services such as the popular and reliable Ping-O-Matic that will enable you to ping numerous proprietary ping servers.
Google's latest announcement that the pinging service of Google Blog Search is ready to accept pings from all blogs has made the process of blog pinging even more helpful.

The second method is Automatic Ping. Here Wordpress will ping Google automatically whenever you update your blog.
