Over the past year, many search engine optimization experts have been encouraging internal linking as a good way to distribute link juice internally on your website. Internal linking also has an added bonus of helping to retain search engine traffic and other visitors, which will hopefully increase your page views and possibly improve revenue.
Unfortunately, the default WordPress install will automatically generate an internal pingback to that post each time you link internally. I’m sure some people like this feature, but I’ve never really cared for it on most types of WordPress blogs. This is especially true for blogs that have not seperated their trackbacks/pingbacks from their comments.
If you are interested in turning off internal pingbacks, I recommend you check out the No Self Pings WordPress plugin by Blogwaffe. Just upload, activate, and your problem is solved!
