RSS Feed vs Pinging

Hey guys,

Got a quick question.

I came across this plugin where you put in the rss feed of articles you've written which it will then send the rss feed to your site. The purpose it supposedly is to get them indexed when the spider comes and crawls your site.

My question is wouldn't it be easier to simply ping the articles instead? What would be the advantage of using something like this instead of just pinging?

Here's the link. (Not an affiliate)

      How do you use the RSS to index your articles? Do you just get the RSS feed from your main site?

      And does that mean you just skip the pinging then?
