Pingcrawl
4 October 2009 by Mike GogulskiPosted in software | 12 Comments »
Pingcrawl is a plugin for WordPress (tested in production with version 2.8.4).
Pingcrawl aims to replicate WordPress.com’s “Possibly related posts” capability. It queries Google Blog Search for related blog posts (based on tags, or the post title if there are no tags), tries to verify that they are pingback/trackback compatible sites and, if so, adds links to such posts to the end of each blog post where it is invoked.
Scope-limiting configuration options are included to enable Pingcrawl to fit any WordPress installation’s memory/execution time budget.
It is based on version PingCrawl 2.8 alpha by Josh Team.

Hi there, i have a question about your plugin.
how do i force it to run on a post that has already been published?
By Mike Gogulski on 26 May 2010
@Demon: Try changing it to a draft, then republishing it. If that doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll have a look at putting better support in for that.

@Mike Gogulski: i just did… and i also created a new post that does have the custom field “pingcrawl_pinged” with value “1″ in it (automatically added)
how do i know whether it did or did not work?
By Mike Gogulski on 26 May 2010
@Demon: If you’ve created a post with the “pingcrawl_pinged” custom field set to 1, the script will not operate when the post is published. The purpose of that field is to track which posts have pinged already, so that if you go back later and, say, correct a typo, it won’t ping again.
To ping on an old post published before pingcrawl was installed, try what I mentioned before. The first indication that it’s working will be that a relatively long time goes by after you hit “publish”. The second will be the “related posts” links appearing on the post.

@Mike Gogulski: yes i understand, i mean i published that post and after publishing that field was filled in (i didnt create it)
now how can i see if it worked?
By Mike Gogulski on 26 May 2010
When you view the post, are the related posts links there at the end?
By Demon on 27 May 2010
No there are not, however i did not insert any tags before publishing, that may have caused it?

Hi,
i use tags, but i didnt want to use them for the search at google. I want only use the title. But how?

I installed on my wp, but then I decided to uninstalled it. after uninstalling, the Possibly related posts still there. How to remove it? urgent. thanks
By Mike Gogulski on 25 October 2010
@Topboxes: The links are stored as normal HTML in the posts, so just edit those posts and delete them off the bottom.
By Topboxes on 25 October 2010
@Mike Gogulski : yes I see and delete it. Thank you so much
