Getting Google to Know My Changes

I just deleted some pages on my site which I also had on article directories (duplicate content). How long before Google finds these changes. Should I ping the old URLs so that Google knows they don't exsist anymore.

Any other way to speed things up?

    You can login to Google Webmaster and tell Google to delete those pages from the index. I've done this before with a whole site, but haven't done individual pages but I almost positive you can. Give it a try.

      Google will report a not found error for those pages. You need to keep those pages on the hosting account and create a 404 page for those pages, and edit those pages meta data for robot to "noindex" and "noarchive".

    Pinging is a good option in this case and will ensure that Google will visit your website and index/deindex the new things within 24 hours in most of the cases
