Hello pingers,

We recently worked on adding more usability to the Goat.

Because most of this website's visitors are using the Pingoat for getting more people on their blogs/websites, we developed some cool tools which will help you to understand what's the next thing you should do on your blog.

We added the following new features:

- a keyword analysis tool
- an advanced spider simulator
- email anti-spam generator
- New: blog worth.

Don't forget that you still have the resources which will help you to submit your blog everywhere on the internet, and also, we have the goolge sitemap generator.

We also added more functionality to the pingoat link page, you can simply get the copy/paste code to link to us.

The link to all the tools from Pingoat is:

http://pingoat.com/goat/tools

Have fun with it, and please contact us if you have suggestions or requests, we would love to add them.

LATER EDIT: We added a new tool which calculates the $ value of your blog based on the number of inboud links, the blogs linking to your blog and the technorati rank: How much is your blog worth?

Remember, the last tool added (blog worth) it's for fun, just like the other ones, so don't treat it like a real tool for selling/buying a blog. We are only considering things like: inbound links, blog links, etc. It's just a useful tool to use and helps you understand when your blog's value goes up or down.

All the best,
The Goat Shepherds

Hello goat lovers,

We just removed 2 services from Pingoat's pinged services list because we studied this months report and it seems like they have huge problems with keeping their services online.

We are talking about to "non-english services": weblogues.com and dontpushme.com.

They have problems, and they create problems to Pingoat, too.

In order to improve your experience with the goat, we have to keep an eye on the services which aren't pinged for technical reasons.

The system works simple: each time you ping, we record if the ping was received. If there is an error we write that down - automatically.

We use a reporting system, but this time, we received too many complaints that these two services have problems most of the time.

The result... faster pinging, better traffic experience.

Until next time, enjoy pinging!

G'day Pingers!

The goat had some hard times in the past but not anymore. We received some reports that the image verification system wasn't working very well.

Bugs fixed! The next step will be to remove the pinged services which don't respond at all and add new ones which will get more traffic and spiders on your blog.

A new thing on pingoat's main page is the HeadlineRoll we installed and it is powered by our sister service, iPings.com. That's a cool way to stay in touch with the news and we hope many people will start to use it.

For example if you have many blogs that you like, you could simply join them together on ipings, create a common RSS feed, put it into the reader, grab the code, and there you go... all the websites that you like in a single, cool way of showing it to your friends.

Here's the official link: Online RSS Feed Reader

Using that service you will be able to create a HeadlineRoll (as we like to name it) in seconds. Have fun with it!

We are also preparing something big for you people, so stay tunned.
