If you are a blogger, writing an blog article with fresh content with all the relevant keywords is one thing, but to be noticed and ranked by the search engines is quite a different thing. There are many techniques to get into the search engine indexing and search engine good ranking. Ping is among one of the important factors in web development.
So, what is ping ?
Let me start by quoting from Wikipedia, about their explanation on what is ping.
“In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated. An XML-RPC signal is sent to one or more "ping servers," which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material. The technology was first introduced by Dave Winer to Weblogs.com in October 2001. Today, most blog authoring tools automatically ping one or more servers each time the blogger creates a new post or updates an old one.
Open ping servers, like Moreover Technologies' Weblogs.com, let other web services subscribe to a list of blogs that have recently pinged them. Blog search engines can provide fresh results very quickly by polling only the newly-updated blogs. Similarly, aggregators use results from ping servers to tell subscribers which items on their subscription lists have fresh material.” This article is about the web publishing mechanism. For the network test tool, see Ping.

Ping is an world wide web term applied to a system to deliver content and sites for indexing in search engines with the ultimate aim of search engine indexing and good ranking in the search engine results.
For the newbie bloggers, who have not written much blog posts, getting your blog posts or webpage into Google, Yahoo, or the other important search engines is somewhat difficult. If you submit your static website to Yahoo without the paying option, it will take at least six weeks (sometimes even longer), to get it indexed. What can you do about this?
Can search engine indexing be done faster?
Here is the answer. A blogger can now register with a central server like www.weblogs.com , which maintains a list of available blogs that are being posted at a given point of time. The search engine spiders crawls and follow the links on the list, and your blog gets indexed very fast. This is the power of ping.
Ping Servers
There are many ping servers which you can use for your blog site / web site publishing. You can try services like Ping-o-matic, http://www.pingler.com/, http://www.pingoat.com/, which ping multiple proprietary ping servers.
