Try "Ultimate Plugins Smart Update Pinger" plugin. That one will quite nicely address your issue - you are not alone! Alex Ray,

I am so sorry, but I think I know what might be the culprit. I am still getting traffic from the original Digg, but they all arrive at my home page instead of the post they are looking for. So I created a separate post to direct them to the correct post and keep moving (bumping) that post forward to keep it at the top of the blog when they arrive. I have a link to the "moving post" on this post (#4 under FIVE THINGS YOU CAN DO DURING A DIGG) that I keep editing each day so that it correctly links to the bumped post. All I can think is that every time I edit this post, you are getting a new pingback. But I only change it once a day, so I dont know why you would be getting so many. I will go ahead and turn off pingbacks for this post, but I don't know if that affects things on your end or not. At any rate, Digg traffic is finally slowing down, and I won't have to keep bumping the other post much longer. Thanks for your patience! Ray Alex – Yikes, it’s still happening?

I'm not sure what generates those pings but it is definitely comes from your blog. Let me know if I can assist with anything to trace this one ... you got my email in comment. Ray,

You are the first I've heard from on that, and I am not sure why it is happening. Please let me know if it happens again, and I will try to trace down the source.

Thank you for noticing my humble effort. Second: I don't know what is happing on your blog but I have already approved the pingback from your blog and still get pingbacks. I think I had to delete like 6 of them so far ... something within your blog in not functioning right and it sends continuing notifications... Just an FYI. Alex Ray,
