Is it still effective or is it just a waste of time? Do you guys still ping your page/s?
Yes pinging is still effective, but ping the page once in a month, you can ping inner pages also, i ping every time when i published a new blog, but only the specific post page, not the whole blog again and again
I think pining is done on pages where we have built a link. For your webpage & blogpost you can use "fetch as Googleboat" in Google webmaster tool.

hmm.. I am actually referring to a blog post not the blog site/web site as whole?
Yeah, Pining the site to search engine is still effective. You have to ping your site every month.
Pinging is a link building related term which you use to notify other Websites that your own blog has been updated and not necessarily these changes are related with their blog, but i advice to you to use this pinging idea once and twice in a month max.
I see now, and I think I already had enough.. thanks for all the response!
I haven't ever did this for my site. So if its effective for indexing and SEO then I will do it from now.
Yes it is helpful in increasing the visibility of your website.
