Pinging posts

Does it do any better to have a long list of ping sites in your blog or do you get as much out of just the default that comes with WordPress.

I don't really understand the pinging altogether. If it is to notify Google etc. of your new content, why would you want to bombard them with the notice. But I have been given a long list of ping sites and told to use it. I am a bit confused. Looking for advice please.

Be careful about pinging with too many sites, Google hates that. Best to pick one or two top pinging sites, trust me, Google will find you if you use the top 2 pinging sites. When it comes to pinging sites it's quality not just quantity.

I always ping my quality back links and let the others get found naturally. Only ping what matters and only ping it 1-3 times.
