    Pinging does not really have any power on whether or not it will improve a site's traffic performance, all it does is what it designed to do - notify sites about new updates and speed up the process.

    Ping is a online marketing term applied to a system that utilizes blogs and pings (short for pingback) to deliver content and/ or sites for indexing in search engines.

    If it is a new site it can help the search engines find your site faster and hopefully get it indexed quicker.

    It's just a way to let the search engines know that you've updated content on your site. However, if you have a blog/site on the Wordpress, pinging is unnecessary because it happens automatically whenever you update your site. If you try to ping a Wordpress blog, you will get a message about how you need to slow down pinging and are pinging too fast.

    In my experience these services are not needed unless you have a really new website without many backlinks. Google has gotten so good at picking up new content that I find my new posts are mostly indexed in under 30min. Sure, if I had pinged Google about it right after putting the post online, it might have been online 5min after, but does that really matter?

    One thing to note, though, is that it is important that you make it easy for Google to find your new content. So if you have a blog and write a new post but don't link to it from anywhere else on your site (preferably your homepage), it's hard for Google to find it.
    So always add new content to your homepage, at least in a sidebar.
