    ping has nothing to do with SEO. Ping is a network tool to test whether a particular host is reachable or not. To know more about it go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ping

    Ping is a program that actually sends a series of packets over a network or the Internet to a computer in order to generate a response from that computer.

    I suppose he is talking about Pinging his RSS FEEDS to websites . Its nothing but letting them know that your site has updated and by pinging them u make sure that their crawler will to your site and index your content .

    ping from my understanding is a way to let search engines like google, yahoo and msn know that you have updated your website or sitemaps.

    Ping is very helpful for fast indexing of new content in a blog. I use pinging tools like blogbaster, autopinger, and others. It's a way of telling search engines that you update something on your blog.

    Ping is a basic Internet program that allows a user to verify that a particular IP address exists and can accept requests. The verb ping means the act of using the ping utility or command. Ping is used diagnostically to ensure that a host computer you are trying to reach is actually operating. If, for example, a user can't ping a host, then the user will be unable to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to send files to that host. Ping can also be used with a host that is operating to see how long it takes to get a response back. Using ping, you can learn the number form of the IP address from the symbolic domain name (see "Tip").

    Loosely, ping means "to get the attention of" or "to check for the presence of" another party online. Ping operates by sending a packet to a designated address and waiting for a response. The computer acronym (for Packet Internet or Inter-Network Groper) was contrived to match the submariners' term for the sound of a returned sonar pulse. :)
