If you’re using a WordPress blog and want to learn how to use TAG and PING to increase traffic, you’ve come to the right place. In this post, I will share with you how to easily take advantage of TAG and PING in wordpress to double your traffic.
First, what is TAG and PING?
Tag and Ping is almost the same thing as Blog and Ping with only one difference. The Pinging part is the same. But in Tag and Ping, you put your targeted keywords in the “tag field” (located right below your wordpress editor – see picture below).
If you want to take advantage of Tag and Ping to get more traffic to your blog, you MUST type in your targeted keywords (separated by commas) in the “tag field” before you publish your post. If you do that, your targeted keywords will be picked up by those blog directory sites when you Ping them.
But, in order to make use of Tag and Ping, you must first set it up by following the TWO steps below….
1. Add your wordpress “ping list” (this list consists of a bunch of blog/RSS directories). To do this, log on to your wordpress, then click on “Options > Writing”, scroll down to the “Update Services” and paste in the “png list”. Below is my wordpress ping list, you can just copy and paste it into your wordpress.

NOTE: Once you’ve added the ping list, wordpress will automatically ping these sites every time you publish a post. And they will pick up the keywords you enter in the “tag field”.
2. Now, go to technorati.com. Register an account if you haven’t done so. Then log on to technorati and claim your blog. Read this article: “Generate Traffic With Technorati Tagging” on how to claim your blog in technorati.
That’s it! Simple isn’t it?
P.S. Once you’ve done the above two steps, make sure you always add your targeted keywords in the “tag-field” everytime when you write a post (ie. you add your keywords in the field before clicking the “Publish” button).
