A few weeks ago I posted on the importance of adding more sites to “ping” whenever you post to your blog.  While this is still the case, it was pointed-out to me that some ISP’s may get irritated with the amount of bandwidth getting used with all the extra pinging.

You see, WordPress will ping the sites you have selected each time you make a change to a post, change to a draft of a post or actually publish a post. 

So, if you are performing lots of editing of a post, adding pictures to a draft, etc. you will be performing lots of unecessary pinging and this is what can irritate the ISP’s.  BUT, there is hope.  This solution comes in the form of a plugin for WordPress.  It is called:  MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer.

You can find this plugin through your dashboard under the “plugins” section.  Just type “MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer” into the search box and get it downloaded.  Get this plugin installed before your blog gets banned!
