Malaysia’s Ping Aggregators - Best Blogs Asia

Malaysia’s Ping Aggregators

May 3rd, 2009 Social Media 3 Comment

Feed Aggregators can provide more consistent and a steady flow of traffic. If your Pings are to relevant sites then you’ll gain even more exposure. The tips below are for Malaysian based bloggers who want more traffic.

What is Pinging

I’ve made a long list of Ping Sites previously, but a “ping” is a snippet of information telling the site what your latest posting is about. You can setup automatic pings to these types of sites, so your latest content is always added. Sites like Movabletype and Wordpress have auto-pinging already enabled.

Petaling Street

Aka PPS, Project Petaling Street is an aggregator of Malaysian blogging content. The site gives exposure to Malaysian bloggers who talk about everyday life, but I also found non-Malaysian’s can also plug their posts.

Blogged.my

The types of posts on Blogged.my seem more “everyday life” focused, rather than techy or exploring a certain niche. You can add your own blogs, then setup an automatic ping on new posts via: http://rpc.blogged.my and that’s it!

Ping.sg

Not sure about this one, seems to relate to Singapore only but accepts posts and topics from all over the world which kind of defeats the object of a country specific Ping site. Same setup (and software?) as Blogged.my, enter a Blog Feed address and then ping an “Update” on the site.

Conclusion

PlanetMy is another site that’s been recommended to me, but since I’m based in China it doesn’t load for me. Ping services are useful and easy to setup. You are telling the thousands of visitors about your content without actually having to trawl through the blogosphere or promote your posts on social media bookmarking type sites.

The amounts of traffic I had for my individual posts I had made on each of these sites wasn’t great. However, I feel if I was a profolific poster and kept posts on topic (i.e. Asian focused) then I would of benefited more from the targetted users.
