"Blog and Ping" -a process by which you post a portion of information from your site to a blog with a URL to your site included, You then notify Yahoo that a post exists on this blog. Your blog will be spidered quickly by both Google and Yahoo. Many bloggers use
http://www.blogger.com to accomplish this (recommended for newbie bloggers).
Make sure you don't ping your blog unless you have mae an update. Otherwise you just back up these services.
Here's a good list of blog directories you can ping and submit your blog to. That should get some traffic moving in your direction. You will notice my sites XML feed in some of the examples I show you. Be sure to replace my XML feed with your own. Make sure you paste it exactly over where my XML URL is. This is the fat-finger way I should tell you. Many blogging tools Like MoveableType and WordPress have integrated blog ping features. In addition there is 3 party software suh as RSS Submit(
http://www.dummysoftware.com/rsssubmit.html ) that can automate this process. Hopefully this information proves useful to you :)
