    Approve comments which are not SPAM. Comments means suggestions,feedbacks for your blog posts from readers so there is no harm if you approve them.

    BTW use Akismet plugin to prevent SPAM comments.

    DON.

    Definetly do not approve any comment for the sake of having comments. You want the comments to contribute to the post. It sounds like you are on the right track though by having it setup to approve before going live.

    Having comments that contribute will give the impression that the content is worthy and make others want to comment. if the comments consist of spam your blog will be looked down on.

    Not all comments are good for your blog or your visitors. You absolutely don't want your visitors clicking spammy links, for example.
