Get Rid of Duplicate Ping List Problem in WordPress
As a blogger, you surely want to notify as many services as possible when you update or write a post. That’s why most of us just add one after another ping service url in the Update Services list in WordPress. The list gets huge & we sometimes even forget to care if a ping service is mentioned twice. Then the problem comes. Some servers keep track of the pings & if they find duplicate pings immediately without any time interval, they may take it as a attack of spammer. As a result they might ban your blog for future pings.
That’s where this new WordPress plugin Ping List Checker can come handy. You can check for duplicate urls in the ping list. It will display the number of duplicates for a particular url & you can then find & remove them from the list. After you install & activate the plugin you can go to Dashboard> Settings> Ping List Checker to check the list.
By the way, some ping services like Ping-o-Matic (http://rpc.pingomatic.com/) ping multiple web services at the same time. So if you add one of those already pinged services like BlogRolling (http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/) in case of Ping-o-Matic, this WordPress plugin won’t find it. But it will eventually be a duplicate ping. So be a little careful
