Should I be pinging all my sites pages?

Hello,

I am familiar with how to ping and what it does but was just wondering if I should be pinging the specific page I update or just the main home page which automatically gets all the pages crawled once the search engine spiders come sniffing around to see the changes?

The reason I ask is that my site has 6 static pages with reviews for different products. I have a seperate page that is not my homepage for my posts. This site is a self hosted wordpress site. I know that wordpress auto-pings posts when they go up, but I don't think it pings static pages, though I could be wrong. I recently revised my whole site once I realized my keyword research and placement was not done properly. So I want the search engines to crawl the static pages again and want to ping to speed this up.

Thanks.

    No I will explain to you.

    You ping your site, googlebot and other web spiders come to see if there is something that's not indexed to index it. If your sites are in ANY way connected (with a link) it will index them by itself and you only need to ping your home page.

      Well how old is your domain? How much off-page stuff have you done? If your website has enough authority then pinging static pages to get them indexed isn't necessary.

      I figured the only need for pinging was when you wanted new sites to get their pages indexed a little bit quicker. And I'm not even sure how effective it is, I set up a blogspot blog and got it indexed in 3 days without pinging. I then pinged another separate one and it didn't get indexed for a couple of weeks.

        I only ping my sites when I want them to be indexed fast or crawled fast. I find twitter to be currently very efficient at doing this. It typically takes only a few days for my pages to get indexed via tweeting. You can easily check this using Market Samurai.

    If you are getting back links to them (and you should be) then I don't see why you should need to ping them. Like DJorge said - ping the bookmarks or backlinks to your page and that should do the trick.

    You only ping one page of your site, and that's your rss feed. You only do that when it has new content.

    I prefer to do my feeds by hand, as an rss.xml page. Each time I put a new page on the site, I add an item with a link to it, to the rss.xml page. Then I ping that page.
