Well, first thing's first, let's find out if your website is indeed indexed by google.  Go to Google and do a search for site:www.yourdomain.com.  Is your website coming up?  Most of your pages?  None of your pages?

Pinging can help, but if your website isn't getting indexed, you likely have some bigger issues to deal with.  Is Google being blocked by your robots.txt file?  Have you verified your website with Google Webmaster Tools and submitted an up-to-date XML sitemap?  Have you started to build high quality backlinks to your website?

If Google isn't indexing your pages, pinging them is equivalent to putting a band-aid on a gunshot wound.  First figure out what the problem actually is, then take action.

If pages are not been indexed you can try and add the urls to Digg.com or Stumble Upon for example.

It has worked for me in the past

As said above it could also be other reasons for not been added to the index, no content? robots block? Server issues? Dormant pages not internal linked to?
