Stop self pinging to your own Wordpress blog – Install No Self Ping Wordpress plugin

Friday, October 9th, 2009

Yesterday i read two posts about Stop Self Ping to your own Wordpress Blog.

I am still not sure whether self ping is good or bad according to SEO. I would like the readers of the blog to give their own perspective on this.

Before going further, let me tell those readers who do not know Self Ping:

What is self pinging to your own Wordpress blog?

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.

Is Self Ping good or bad in SEO point of view?

We all bloggers know that Comments are the lifeline for the Blog. Comments give readers a way to talk to blog owner and exchange ideas, suggestions or debate about a topic.

Most of the bloggers are active commentators in other blogs for mainly two reasons:

Download Wordpress 2.8.4 Security Release

Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

Just recently, there was an upgrade of Download WordPress 2.8.3 Security Update.

Wordpress has come up with one more Security Release – Wordpress 2.8.4 Security Release

Download Wordpress 2.8.4 Security Update

Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

You can upgrade automatically to Wordpress 2.8.4 from your Dashboard.
