When ever we give a linkback to our article or any other previous article from our blog. By default, wordpress send a ping back and a link is shown in the comment field. 
Some people like this but with time this become an issue when you have lots of self pings on your important pages like About me, write for shoutmeloud, Services.
No self ping wordpress plugin helps you to stop pinging your own blog post and stop showing trackback from your blog.
For tutorials on installing this plugin you can refer to my previous guide:

This is nice idea, it is useful for some extend. I use smart post link which link your post virtually, so there is no real link to ping. Good to see, you change the theme.
Arafat Hossain Piyada™s last blog post..Use captcha or not on your blog comment?
Once you told me that installing lots of plugin is not good for blogs. I already installed more than 26 plugins. So please tell me how much plugins should we install so that it will not effect the performance of the blog. Also tell me how installing more and more plugins ruins the performance of blog ?

@Himanshu It’s depend on your need. If your plugin needs database access, then it will definitely slow down your process. It’s better idea to cache them. I hope you already install a cache plugin.

^^ Wow 26 Plugins installed!! I only use 9 Plugins. As u install more plugins blog performance decreases.
I would prefer you to use near to 20 Plugins, only use Important plugins.
I am using MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer. It is good

Curious Little Person™s last blog post..What is a Wordpress Plugin? How to Install One?
Hi Harsh, you sent me an email sometime ago about my site pinging itself. I installed the plugin at that time and I am still satisfied. I don’t see self pings in my comment widget anymore.
I see Himanshu asked a question about how many plugins you should have. I would also like to know the answer as I have 21 active plugins now on my blog.

@Venkat
By default Blogspot do not ping all the ping services. You can use manual service like Pingomatic to ping. Though you should ping only when you update a new post. Excessive ping may treat your blog as spam and pin service will stop accepting ping from your blog.
Harsh, i have seen till now lots of posts about to have self ping or not.
Does having self ping on our blog affect in any way the SEO? does it degrade the blog in SEO terms?
I have installed and enabled no self ping just now. How about the self pings i already have in all these 2 and half years. Do i need to remove it? or just keep it
Thanks in advance.
what about if we remove the pingbacks or trackbacks while moderation ?
Hi Harsh,
I realize this is an older post but I thought you might be able to help with another issue since your plugin is somewhat similar in that it stops your own trackbacks and pings. (I’m definitely going to download and install it on my blog so thanks for that!)
Do you know of one that keeps your own replies to reader comments from getting into the recent comments widget?
