Question regarding comments on my website
Last Update: May 05, 2012

Hey All,

So apparently I have 6 comments on my new site (first one I've made). However, I'm not sure that they are truly comments.

Here's what my email reads regarding the posts: "A new pingback on the post . . . is waiting for your approval."

So what do I do with these pingbacks (which I don't even know what a pingback is!)? Do I approve them, trash them or spam them?

Any suggestions are quite welcome here.

Thanks!

most comments in wordpress are spam .. read the comment in your dashboard and if it's not related to content , then don't approve .

Pingbacks are email notifications you get from blogging platform like WordPress if someone links to a post on your blog. It may be harmless, but publishing it with out knowing may have some negative impacts on ranking of your blog pages. You can Please cruise over Wordpress tutorial to learn more about it. You can disable it too if needed from the "settings" option. Regards.
