I think you need to do a little research on what ping is actually used for. It's to test response, that's all. You can't add anything using ping. As for whether submitting your sitemap every day will tick them off... probably so. It would tick me off anyway.

Hey wyweb, Sorry for using "Ping" as I really meant to "submit". Can we submit or "should" we submit sitemaps to Google everyday so that they are indexed immediately.

I have an script which I found online and then modified a bit which pings Google, Yahoo, Bing and ASK. I use it every time I have new content or content updated (new reviews on my site). My sitemaps are accurate. I mean: they offer the creation date of the content or the last modified/updated date. This gives bots useful information about the my pages and helps them deciding if they have to crawl again or not. I have had no problems and have doing this way for more than a year. From what I know, it is OK to ping Google to update your sitemap: - if you have something new
- not more than every 1 hour Just my 2 cents.
