Ping Me!
Following on the heels of Ray's, announcement, 'ping' is also now available for All Your Flex Are Belong To Us.
To ping AYFABTU, all you need to do is set up your blogging software to ping :
http://www.allyourflexarebelongtous.com/ping.cfm?BURL={your blog URL}
Where {your blog URL} matches exactly as it is stored in the DB. To find out the exact URL we are using, simply look up your blog on the Feeds Page.
That URL will be visible to that other party(site). Some individuals or companies have abused the TrackBack feature to insert spam links on some blogs. This is similar to comment spam but avoids some of the safeguards designed to stop the latter practice. As a result, TrackBack spam filters similar to those implemented against comment spam now exist in many weblog publishing systems.
