Pinging my blog?

Has anyone tried this? I am recently new to marketing my affiliate sites and i started a blog a few months back, i had a friend tell me that they pink their blog and it has some advantages. I know its pretty simple to do it i just wanted to know if anyone actually sticks with it or if it brings enough traffic/rating to matter weither i do it or not. Thanks!

pinging your blog doesn't sound like it would have any good advantages unless it makes it look like you have more viewers but always beware of the P.O.D (Ping Of Death) I wouldn't ping your blog to much!

What is pinging your blog? Isn't that for trackbacks or something?

I ping my podcasts to update them quicker, but I was under the impression that you only ping rss or xml feeds. I can't see it making that big of a difference for a blog.
