Apart from the advantage of pinging search engines/aggregators, the blog-to-blog pinging seems only a mechanism to "network socially amongst bloggers": If blog A pings blog B, this means nothing more than B advising A of an update moreso "reminding of its existence"... I think the only real (and honest) use of blog-to-blog pinging is as WordPress has implemented it (maybe others too, but am the most familiar with WordPress' implementation): for each post, I can automatically (and manually) ping other URLs to advise them I have referred to them in a link, within my post. As a 'thank you', the other blogs can include that ping (with your URL) within the comments of the "referred to" post. Does that make sense? Peter Andy,

Now what about pinging your blog and blog posts? I've had my blog <a href="http://www.andy-michaels.com/" rel="nofollow">Journey to Independence</a> for quite a while now and would like to know how pinging my blog posts will do me any good. I read a lot of tips on how to ping and what plug-ins one can use but none of them that says what the exact benefits of pinging is. Great tips! Now what about pinging your blog and blog posts?
