well on my experience, then yes! it helps seo as you'll get backlinks from it

every link i did on my page to get a higher rank i usually do it with


digg.com
twitter.com
delicous.com
linkarena.com
stumbleupon.com


with that strategy - my links ended up on first page rank 1-8

Indirectly yes. Pinging the site might help it being featured more openly (recent updates, news, newest sites...) which in turn means that when a search engine indexes the bookmarking site there's higher probability it will encounter a link to your site.

If I understand correctly, you want to know whether links to your content from a blog syndication site, (i.e. blogcatalog.com) created when you use a service like pingler will increase the likelihood that your new content will be spidered by search engines - to that, I would say that links from reputable websites won't hurt.

The way your question is worded, however, suggests that you are asking whether registering a pingback to a bookmark-tracking site when the bookmarking site links to your content is a good idea and I think this is where John Conde is suggesting that the suggested activity is not productive - issuing a pingback to a bookmarking site would essentially create spurious metadata.

No. Not only do the search engines not have this data to work with but it is so easy to manipulate that if they did have it they couldn't trust it.
