    Pinging a way that search engine portals know and noticed that there is something new in your site and need to be index, it is important to make your site easy crawled by search engines.

    Pinging your website actually helps to know whether your site is up or down. Usually, host uptime monitoring services use this. Host-tracker.com or Pingdom.com ping your website and sends you report when the site is down or up again.

    There is another pinging as @derrickschwan said, in that case we ping the search engines to tell them there is new content on your site. In this case, your website is not pinged, a ping is sent from your website or a pinging service to search engines.

    There are several services available, you can use pingomatic or other services as well. But not to do so, let it be natural indexing. Let google crawl itself.

    Pinging a website is a best way to attract search engines and get some more traffic to you website. Also, the people or services that are using your feeds as content will be automatically informed.
    ** Ping only when you have updated contents on you website.
    **If you don’t have feeds in your site then don’t ping.

    I think that if you have a good ranking and great content the search engines will visit you daily or even a few times in a day!

    Pinging is a method to tell about your changes on website so that they can crawl fast. I use pingomatic and pingler.

    Some Situations You May Want to Ping

    * You got a quality backlink from an out of date site.
    * You want to rank for a keyword “quicker” than other sites.
    * You just like to ping because you like seeing some productive work done without you having to do anything.
