If you are facing slow crawl rate and lesser page index issues from search engines like Google, you need to build backlinks as well as update your ping list for fast indexing.
To make this possible, you will have to update your ping services list. In case you don’t know what the ping service is, here is a quick introduction of A Ping:-
Everytime you publish a new post, WordPress automatically pings or notifies all the major feeds and networks and push them to update the information regarding your blog.
For a better reach and pushing things a level up, we should update the default Ping services in the WordPress. This helps to increase our reach more quickly and effortlessly. This has a direct impact on the search engine spider’s crawl rate of your website.

How To Update The Default Ping Services With New Ones
Now Login And Go to the settings In your WordPress dashboard. Move on to the settings and scroll down to the update settings section.
Paste the services as it is. The table should contain one service per one line. Click on the save settings button.
That’s it.
Your website will be indexed faster with the updated ping list. Thus increasing the search engine optimization and reach.
Alternatively, you can always use other services like ping-o-matic to ping services manually. This is again a task which needs to be done repeatedly and is not very efficient.
I recommend to update the WordPress ping list rather than using the manual method. It’s easy and takes no time.

Pro Tip :-
As a beginner, you might think that pinging services repeatedly might make you appear more frequently and faster in search engine results. Well, that is a hoax.
Pinging unnecessarily will eventually make your blog blacklisted. Google will consider your blog as a spammer. So be careful, you never want that to happen.
Also, note that you don’t need any plugin or any tool once you have updated the list with the services listed above. You don’t need any ping optimizer. Sit back and relax. Let the WordPress do the work.
* Note:- If you run a multisite aka Network installed WordPress blog, you cannot update the ping services. Don’t get surprised if you don’t see those options in your writing settings.

Now it’s your turn to share this post and also to share your experience in the comments section below.
Thank you man, I’ve updated my ping list with the services you said and followed Matthew woodwards tutorial here to check my site crawl rate. I will update you soon.
blogsearch.google.* (and many others) are dead. At the beginning of 2018, Google said:
In the next week, we’re shutting down Google Blogsearch “Ping”. Blogsearch itself was deprecated in 2011, and now it’s time to turn off some of the remaining services associated with it. This change has no effect on crawling and indexing of websites.
My website does not have any ping and it takes more than 7 days to appear in google search of a newly created post. what should I do in 2020.
If you have the ping list updated, it works. 7 days are normal. Nothing to worry. ????
Any idea how to get Google to index some backlinks I’ve built?
It’s been almost 1 year and only few of those links have been added and my DA/PA Is still low.. Below 20%
