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.

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.

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.
