is there a penalty from the major search engines from pinging the same links every day and would there be any point to do this

No there isn't AND No there isn't

I ping it once every two days.

And When I create a new post, it pings automatically.

Ping once in a day

I usually ping my blog whenever I update it. Some times I ping twice in a day and some times once in a week.

it will better to you ping your blog once a day!

I ping for every update..

I prefer not to Ping my blogs from other sources, WP blogs automatically ping the search engines whenever i make a new blog post.

I ping whenever I made new posts or changes.

Actually pinging is mechanism to inform about new posts on your blog. if you have wordpress blog, you dont need to worry about, just set pinging enabled and provide all pinging url, it will automatically ping each time you publish new post. if you want ping url list, pm me, i have around 80 urls, you can ping to

just ping to know how much traffic your site has and speed. once a day is ok

i think some sites like wordpress are automatically ping, while you have to ping site one time in search engine, so that your site will index in search engine.

Your blog should automatically ping the major search engines. There is no need to manually ping them... unless you work in the Department of Redundant Redundancy.

I ping everytime I post a new article... Also it's worth mentioning that I use the cbnet ping optimizing plugin.

Wordpress pings each time a new post is posted...not sure if it works so frequently though...I mean we publish post throughout the day, and no penalties or anything as yet

You have to ping your blog to search engines only when you update your site or blog.

Excess pinging can mark you as a ping spammer in major search engines.

Sometimes twice a day. But once a day is more often

I`m pinging after every update. No sense to ping more often.

I just ping my blog whenever i have a new post.

I ping once in a week

Its can be done every 10 days and its good enough. even it can be done only 1 time and again its good enough.
