Just the other day I read an article asking whether you should ping your own posts or not. I wrote a plugin that will remove the rel=”external nofollow” tag from all links that are from your blog URL, but it will still leave the tag on all of the external URL’s. Using the Remove Internal Link nofollow plugin will ensure that all of your internal links will get the link juice, and none of the external links.
There isn’t much to it, just unzip “remove-internal-nofollow.zip” and then upload it to your “/wp-content/plugins/” directory. Once that’s done visit the Installed Plugins admin page and activate the plugin. There are no settings to configure.
