Yes: delete them!
(it’s not a wise idea to have too many; some of them ping other services, too, so you’ll end up double pinging and maybe banned…)
EDIT. And next time give a “normal” title to your post – something more descriptive.

Why would I not utilize that option with Word Press? So are you saying I should do a separate ping like at http://pingoat.com/ instead. I’m trying to get max coverage of my blog to increase traffic.
To say what moshu did in smaller words:
The more pingers you have in WP, the longer it will take to ping ’em. The longer it takes, the more likely you’re likely to get a timeout and blank page.
Related to that, many of the ping services ping the same places. So, if those places get a bunch of pings about you all at once, you’ll get dropped or ignored, thus defeating your original goal.

So do you have “one” ping service you use? Also, how do I implement “tags” within WP?
I, personally, let feedburner do it for me.
Ping-o-matic (default in WP) was having issues a month or so ago, but when it works it handles the job pretty well. Haven’t tried it recently.
As for tags, I suspect most folks use Ultimate Tag Warrior (aka UTW) plug-in. However, if you do a big of searching, you’ll turn up at least one or two other plug-ins that are a bit “simpler” to get rolling with (or at least, not so daunting with options!).

Do you have to sign up for it? As you can tell, I’m no tec geek 🙂
I didn’t list anything that needs signup.
