Just a question, cuz i know the seo by yoast plugin does it on its own, should i let it continue doing it, cuz i read somewhere that pinging is apparently bad.

    Pinging isn't bad, it's no big deal. I'm sure most pinging sites throttle pings (URLs) to reduce server load.

    WP pings a small list of URLs by default, check your admin. settings (If your running WP).

    IMO you would have better luck submitting xml sitemaps (URLs) directly to WMT.

    Pinging is not bad but a way to tell SEs about the new or updated contents. You can also try bulk pinging services like pingomatic but frequent pinging of same contents should be avoided.
