There are some advantages using autopinger to auto-ping your blogs and podcast feeds such as the followings:

1) It is a set and forget service, so it's hassle free. It works much like feedburner pingshot but autopinger pings over 60 services.

2) You don't have to keep a list of all latest ping services like blog/podcast search engines, blog/podcast directories and other specialized services. We will do that for you :-)

3) Even if your blog does not offer a pinging mechanism, you can still reach out to all blog/podcast search engines, blog/podcast directories and other specialized services with autopinger.

4) You can view the ping history of your blogs or podcasts when you login. We will show you some simple stats :-)

5) There are some nice tools to help you build a blog rss/atom or podcast feed.
