I'm a professional booger

Joe Levi — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:01:56 GMT

"It says here that you're a professional 'booger?'" "Blogger."

That's the punch line from a comic at blaugh.com. Those of you have been following my posts for a while know that I've just been some guy on the Internet posting "stuff" from my life that I hope someone else out there will find helpful. I run ads and have a PayPal donation link if you want to shower me with money, but I've never done any of that to make money, more to just break even.

Well, today I'd like to officially announce, I've added the title of "Professional Blogger" to my resume' as I'm one of the bloggers on Lifetime Products new blog: Lifetime365. And no, I didn't pick the color scheme, and yes, it hurts my eyes when I look at it, too. Thank goodness for RSS Feeds!

Big List of Ping Servers

Joe Levi — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 02:45:38 GMT

Even the world's best blog is nothing if no one can find it. Making sure your pages are indexed by search engines (and optimized for that purpose) is a good start, but you need to let some other guys know, too. Those guys are known as ping servers.

Basically, when you post a new article you "ping" these servers with the address (permalink) of your new post, they then schedule a crawl to include your new post in their database, which is then spidered by others, including search engines.

So, how do you do this? You can do it manually, or you can add a list of ping servers to your blogging engine (most engines support this).

Here's my list:
