is it important and how does it work? should i do it after each new story i write? How will it benefit me? Regards Satyrion
yes, its important since pinging will let others know that there has been a change in your blog. This way they will (tecnorati as an example) have an updated version of your blog resulting more tafiic .if you use wordpress then you can just find an automated pinging widget, its easier that way
Here is a great plugin for wordpress http://daven.se/usefulstuff/wordpress-plugins.html this will auto ping every time you create a new post and unlike most auto pingers not when you just edit posts
