Submit & Ping RSS Feeds
And also if you had some feeds, you can submit it to feed directories. We give you Feed Directories & Pings list (that you can update your database submission on some directories) to help your feeds submission to promote it. This should help increase awareness of your new posts & give more readers to your blog/feed. Because we would update Feed Directories & Pings list, you might want to consider bookmarking this page as we shall update the list whenever we come across others useful services. When you come across a page with contents that are viewable in web feed formats, you will be able to click the icon in your browsers to subscribe to the feed of that page. These feeds may either be a full text or summary of the content. The content can be read on a feed reader/aggregator which checks the sites regularly for new contents. The terms RSS & Atom are feed formats.
To ensure that your blog is able to syndicate the feed content of your posts, login to your Dashboard & go to Settings -> Site Feed. Make sure that you have set Allow Blog Feed to Short /Full. Save the settings.
Next, key this URL into your browser, substituting YOUR-BLOG-URL with the URL of your blog beginning with http://
YOUR-BLOG-URL/feeds/posts/default?alt=rss
Do you see your Blog feed? If no, so test with this URL
YOUR-BLOG-URL/feeds/posts/default
You should be able to see the contents of your posts, either in summary form/full, depending on your settings. These are your blog feed URLs. You can submit some of them to the Feed Directories that we listed below. If you have syndicated your feed to other services like Feedburner, you can submit that Feed URL too. To confirm whether your feed URL is correct, you may also enter it into this RSS Feed Validator.

RSS Pings List
Now that your Blog appears in several Blog and Feed directories, you would want to keep these directories & search engines notified of your latest blog updates. By pinging some of the services, they will be able to crawl/ visit your site to index the latest blog contents. You can ping them when you have created a new post or updated an old post. Fortunately for us, there are a number of useful services that make it easy for us to submit the pings to the tracking sites.
First essential step. Go to Settings -> Publishing & under Send Pings, select Yes. Whenever your blog is updated, Blogger will ping certain services that track blog changes. Rather than pinging individual tracking sites, we have been using services which help us update different sites & search engines that include Verisign's Weblogs.com, Yahoo!'s blo.gs, Technorati, Newsgator, Feedburner, Moreover, Bulkfeeds & Syndic8. All we need to do is to enter the Blog URL & blog Title & they will send the pings to all the sites we select.
Google Blog Search Ping Service - We thought we should mention this. For new bloggers who do not find their sites when they key them into the NavBar search box, ping this site.
Pingoat - A very comprehensive list of sites that you can choose to ping. The service is also very fast and it is done within seconds.
Ping-O-Matic - Less comprehensive list.
Blog Flux Ping Service - A list of sites as comprehensive as Pingoat's but the ping takes a much longer time and is not often successful.
Feeds Pings - A short list but has pretty relevant sites.
There are other services which volunteer to send the pings on your behalf. Some of them are services provided to members only. You may also ping individual sites like Technorati. However, we think that the above services would have sufficiently covered many of the popular tracking sites.
Of course, we shall update this list.
