How did "Related Blogs" show up on my blog?

Ok, this is strange...I have been adding various plugins to my blogs to try to improve seo and ad content...

I noticed that several of my blog posts now have links to "Related Blogs" below several of the posts. (For example: How do you deal with stress and difficult situations? | 1-800-Stop-Stress)

Now, I originally thought it has something to do with Caffeinated Content plugin, but then I made a post on my teaching blog today that doesn't have the CC plugin...and the same thing happened. The only plugins I installed in that blog were Platinum SEO, pingcrawl, google sitemap, and max blogpress....I've looked through each, but can't see anything to indicate where this is coming from...

Any ideas...I would really like it to stop...

    Hey,

    Well from here all I can tell you is that it is an automatic ping, so I would assume one of your plugins was updated automatically with some new code to make this happen.

    Here is a description of your Plugin


    Ping Crawl by Bluehatseo.com - This plugin takes the 'tags' added to each post, finds related blog posts on google blog search, and links to them at the bottom of each post, while also auto-creating a pingback. The advantage of this is exposure for a new blog, related incoming links (albeit nofollow, but IMHO they still hold SOME weight at least with google blog search) and related content for blogs that are linked to. I'll be running ping crawl for a few weeks to see what effect if any it has on traffic and search rankings.
