Yes it will send bots to your site and it will likely get you indexed - though I would prefer getting some backlinks (via social bookmarking for example) for indexing purposes.

I used it and it's quite good to call the bots - they will visit you almost every day but for the indexing you need some static links. So use ping as additional technique to the links.

I use pinging to compliment my social bookmarking and it seems to be fairly effective. I use the "Pingler" service that one of the forum members created.

I am also cautious of making Google think my site is a blog (too many backlinks coming from blogrolls & pinging every day).

Click to expand...

Why is this a problem (Google thinking it is a blog)? Thanks.

There is no problem. Actually, ping is build to help search engines know there is something new.

There are separate blog ping lists that are only meant for blogs. But most ping services allow everything.

My suggestion is to ping your new page with pingomatic.
