Stop Self Pinging to your own Wordpress Blog
Most of the blog owners know that if some bloggers links your post, you will receive a Traceback comment. you check the post and see whether to approve the comment or not. This is also a ‘Ping’, but the ping had come from external Blog.

You must have definitely interlinked one of your posts where you mention your previous post in the current post and talk about it. When you do this and publish the post, you will again see a Traceback comment generated. Since, this is linking was to your one of your own blogs posts. This is self ping.

From last 2 years, i have always approved the self ping traceback comments.

    Nihar,
    I do not think that self ping is that bad. Also, self track backs generated sometimes helps to interlink posts in the right context. Thanks for the plugin anyways..
