If you're updating your blog daily, you've got a great start. But don't stop there! We've assembled these resources to help you get the most search engine visibility for your blog:
Ping Servers
Ping-o-matic will ping several major ping servers (weblogs.com, feedster, technorati, etc.)
Technorati.com's ping configuration page. (you won't need this if you use ping-o-matic, or if your blog software automatically pings them)
Instructions for manually pinging Weblogs.com (you won't need this if you use ping-o-matic, or if your blog software automatically pings them)
Blo.gs ping page (you won't need this if you use ping-o-matic, or if your blog software automatically pings them)
A long list of additional ping servers provided by Chris Abraham
