Is pinging a website the same as backlinks?

Is pinging sites the same as backlinks? Or does ping just index sites but will help you rank backlinks?

There are major differences between pinging and backlinking, and they should not be confused with one another. Pinging is merely about notifying about changes in a site. For example, you got a quality backlink or maybe you are trying to rank for a keyword more quickly than other sites. But Pinging does not help your site to get backlinks, and to explain it simply it is sort of like you are giving a nudge to search engines that your site has made some sort of update. It may help to get your site indexed a bit faster, but that is not for sure either.

As I understand it pinging is not backlinking... Pinging is just notifying other websites that you have new or updated content so your website gets indexed or ranked faster.

Pinging a website: Pinging can be used to show up as a referral on another websites internal analytics or stats, including Google, Yahoo & Bing analytics. When a webmaster sees the referral stats they may click your link to see what the site is all about and you will get a real visit, and possibly a sale. This can be accomplished via bots. On a massive global scale, where you change i.p. addresses and randomize referral links you can get a bunch of sales. It is the hard way to get sales but it does work. Web-masters will open your site from their referral stats and sales will occur but again only with massive pinging. For this to work you also have to make it look natural and target the correct audience and websites in your niche, [expect a .000002% or less response] It is the hard way to get sales but it is measurable for people on a low or no budget.

From what I understand in pinging which we normally do when we think there is a problem with a website, is that pinging can check if the site is online. When the ping returns null numbers then that means the site is not online. My question now is this – does the site gets traffic when you ping it? Take note that you can ping a site continuously and it will return diagnostic numbers which means the ping is accessing the site.
