Doesn't that imply that the best possible setting would be to turn off accepting pings in general?

What advantage would there be in accepting pings if all it does is create a reciprocal link?

I've been doing trials on a few of my splogs, and so far I haven't been able to recreate either a trackback or a pingback, wether or not I put /trackback/ after the permalink, while putting the permalink into the blog body text. Maybe I haven't waited long enough for the trackback to show up.

The critical question is, how does one create a oneway link from one blog post to another?

Is using dofollow, and making comments, with akismet turned on, the best way to accomplish this on most blogs?
