What is a ping or pinging?

There is absolutely no reason why you should ping your links. I discussed this so many times on other forums as well and there always people who tell you that you need to tell Google about your links, but believe me it will be indexed one way or another.

And if Google doesn't believe your link is worth being indexed, then it won't be indexed even if you use 1000 pings...

Ping is a program that sends a series of packets over a network or the Internet to a specific computer in order to generate a response from that computer. The other computer responds with an acknowledgment that it received the packets. Ping was created to verify whether a specific computer on a network or the Internet exists and is connected.

Ping is a command used to measure the latency between two devices on a network. The ping command is available on every operating systems, and many online games display a visible ping you can use to understand latency.
Ping is just a measure  of the latency we feel in everything we do online, whether it's clicking a link, posting a status update, sending a message, palying a game, uploading a file, streaming an online video, or anything else. If you're using a website and it takes a long time to load a new page every time you click a link, you're probably experiencing a high ping to that site. If it's fast, you probably have a low ping.
