Step 2: Creating a Yahoo Ping

Now that you have the location correct, it is time to ping Yahoo. To do this, you just click on the bookmarked or favorites link.

If the ping worked correctly, you will see a page like the following:

It shows that a ping was sent out to
htt://www.commodity-investing.info. If you had pinged the kidney stones site, it would say Refresh requested:
htt://kidney-stones.blogspot.com. The ping message will not show the new location code but the ACTUAL URL for the blog you have pinged.

To prove that Yahoo pinged the blog, you can go back to your Yahoo home page. Go down to the bottom of the page where you registered your blog earlier. You should see the latest post under the blog.

Now both Weblogs.com and Yahoo have received info that your blog has new, updated information. Let’s look at ways to get other search engines aware of your fresh content.
