@Bineet Are you using Akismet plugin???
That will be really helpful.. You can also disable Pingback & trackback feature from Settings> Discussion

Google actually does still bleed some PR through the nofollows even when we tell them not to. Nofollows definitely count as actually somewhat solid backlinks. If you comment on a blog that the url field is still nofollow you are still getting some SEO credit, its just maybe 1/10th as much as if it is DoFollow. Google uses its “own discretion” to decide how much credit it gives the nofollow link and those links still have to be paid attention to.

I too was getting my own site trackbacks and thought it to be some spam and virus problem. Thanks for the info. Maybe wordpress should give an option to use this feature or not. But I am still not clear whether nofollow links are also counted as backlinks.

I don’t think it affects comments in anyways……..
Although it depends entirely on the reader since “Linkwithin” serves attractive “thumbnail+postname”.

Plus think Linkwithin puts less load on your Hosting server.. than any related posts wp plugin… learnt it recently becoz of my blog’s downntimes… but thats a different topic..

Will do. I notice a ton of page views referred by the linkwithin plugin. I am sort of wondering if that reduces comments though because of where it appears.
