Ping Recommendations

January 23, 2006

I am having a problem with pinging other people’s entries when I want to. I get the following error (by example):

Ping ‘http://gilbane.com/blog/mt-tb.cgi/173’ failed: HTTP error: 403 Throttled

So I poked around a little, and I discovered there are some undocumented settings in mt.cfg, OneHourMaxPings and OneDayMaxPings, but I can’t find specific syntax for editing the mt.cfg file and I am loathe to make a change without the specific settings. Any help out there?

Also, I wonder if I am ping happy. For each post, I ping the following:

blo.gs
weblogs.com
technorati.com
http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2
http://rpc.pingomatic.com/
http://ping.weblogalot.com/rpc.php

Maybe I can cut back on these? Any suggestions would be welcome. Feel free to email me if you don’t want to post a comment.

Thanks,

Bill
