Pinging a site lets search engines know that you have new content added on your site. Its a good practice to ping your latest blog posts to get immediately indexed on popular search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing. Sharing a link of your latest post on social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter also helps in indexing your blog, as these sites are crawled constantly by search engines due to their large user base and high page rank.
