We started a new blog at www.infographs.org and we have been getting a lot spammy trackbacks every day. Like , we posts 10 new posts a day and we get like 60+ tracckback emails per day. Why is that and does it do any good ? How to get rid of this, if its not good ?
It depends on what type of trackbacks you're getting. If you're getting trackbacks from the spammy sites, than they are def. bad. Here are some recommend plugins to stop spammy comments & trackbacks -Simple trackback validation with topsy blocker -Growmap Anti spam plugin
Here is an older article that discusses this problem, but I think it still applies: http://www.bloggingtips.com/2008/07/22/how-to-combat-wordpress-trackback-spam/
