Ping us everytime when your blog has been changed

You can use this tool only if you have your blog initially indexed by our aggregator. If your blog is not indexed by us, please fill application form first at Submit Your Blog section.
We can provide you with 3 different ways to ping us:

Using Ping Form

Using HTTP Pings Engine

You may send direct HTTP request to http://www.gadgetratty.com/ping/?blog=http://www.yourblog.domain.name
As result you receive response "0" - if ping was successful and "-1" - if ping is unsuccessful
If you got "-1" response we also provides you with additional status code following by comma, like:
-1,1 - means that we do not have your blog in our database
-1,2 - means that ping will be ignored due to too often use of ping service

Using XML-RPC Pings Engine

We do accept XML-RPC pings to rpc.gadgetratty.com/public/rpc. Your XML-RPC should be like:

HTTP Request Header
POST /public/rpc HTTP/1.0
User_Agent: YOUR_CLIENT_HERE
Host: rpc.gadgetratty.com
Content-Type: text/xml
Content-Length: 220

XML Message Content
