Hey Guys, I was just wondering other peoples opinions on pingbacks. I received one today within Wordpress that was asking me to approve it. So I'm assuming accepting this just gives credit to the site that's linking to mine and it lists their site within the post? Is there many people out there who would actually approve these?
Personally my opinion is Its never rude to disapprove pingbacks or trackbacks. They are already linking to your website and that's enough. It could be a link bait as many spam websites use track back to get a link back so be careful when you use this wonderful feature but often misused. cheers Josh
Thank you so much for your feedback joshuthomas. The webpage that was linking to mine never had much aside from copying the first paragraph of text from my site and then saying "continue here to read more". So i'm sure you're probably right about the whole spam and misused feature stuff.
