Notifications automatically to Google

Notifications automatically to Google
Hi,

Since Google has developed the web indexing system called Caffeine, now links can be find immediately after being published. Therefore it is very important to notify Google a new publication in real time.

For example, WordPress automatically notifies Google and other sites when it has updated a blog by sending a XML-RPC ping each time a post is created or updated.

Would it be possible to implement a ping to notify automatically to Google when I add a link in 'Gossamer Links' ?

Hi,

Mmm, well I guess so. The biggest issue with static built sites, is that this link wouldn't be made instantaly visible (i.e you would need to run a build before the file exists)

If you are using mod_rewrite, then it shouldn't be an issue (as the page will become visible right away). Would offer to have a look at this for you now, but I'm a bit bogged down with other work atm.

Cheers

No problem, my detailed pages are dynamics.

No problem, I can use mod_rewrite.


Thanks in advance,

Hi,

So do you send people to page.cgi?d=1, or static *looking* URL's (using mod_rewrite)

Not sure when I will have time to look at this plugin, as gonna be a pretty busy week by the looks of it.

Cheers

Ok, will try and see what I can come up with at some point. I'm afraid it will probably have to be a paid plugin though, at it may take a little while to wirte.
