Free Ping Services

I am still new to blogging and the whole social networking medium, but I am learning. 

The most important thing is traffic or eyeballs to your sites.  If there is no traffic there is no revenue, you must let the world know about your sites.

Pinging your sites, helps the world's search engines know you exist.  Ping them often.  Here is the best reference of free Ping Services that I have found.  I hope it helps you.

My Top 5 Business Characteristics

(not in any particular order)

 

Virtual:             operates 24/7, worldwide, portable (just needs an internet connection)

 

Scalable:           no employees, no inventory, leverages off others, ability to ramp up or down quickly

 

Residual:           build reoccurring revenue streams, diversify across those streams, do the work once and get paid forever

 

ROI:                 focus on high return-low cost businesses & products; minimize cash outlays (except when quality really matters, then pay up)

 

Flexible:            small, quick, adaptable, can turn on a dime, changing direction quickly when necessary
