FAQs
1. Which membership is better: free registration on the King Ping site, or the King Ping pay monthly subscription?
The paid subscription allows you to enter up to 30 of your blog and feed addresses and then we ping our services when we find new content on those blogs and feeds. It is all automatic, so you can set it up and forget about it. The free registration allows you to ping our site from your blog and enter a URL on our site.
2. Why do I have to register?
We require you to register as a way to minimize spamming and abuse of our service.

4. How do I use the language selections?
The "Other" selection will cause pings to go to only the sites that accept all languages. If you select a particular language, such as Japanese, then the system will ping the Japanese sites plus the sites that accept all languages.
5. What's so special about King Ping?
We manually review every ping site to make sure it is not involved in spamming or stealing content and is up and running so your pings are of benefit. Most of the other pinging services have many site they say they ping that are actually dead sites.
6. What is "pinging"?
There are certain blog tracking sites that display recently published material from the web. They scan blogs on a regular basis to see if anything new has been published, but publishers can also actively notify these services of new material by sending them a "ping." A blog ping is a simple piece of XML text that contains your blog name and the URL.
7. Which method is better: submitting our URL on the King Ping site, or adding the King Ping automatic ping address to our blog?
Both methods are equally effective. The online method is better for people who prefer not to delve into the innards of their blogging platform.
