- If you don't have a sitemap, use the GSiteCrawler to create one.
- Google requires you to submit your sitemap to them first - then you can ping them through this service. Yahoo, Moreover, & Ask.com allow the ping to act as a submission as well.
- This is not the same as a 'blog ping' - although your blog can have a sitemap file.
