    Hi everyone,
    What should I do with pingbacks in WordPress. When I write a post and link to a previous post, a comment is added in this previous one.

    Is it okay to let it (good for people to find a related post) ? Is it good for SEO ? Should I delete them ?

    Thank you.

    Its OK to keep them, You could even edit the comment and say something like a related post. There are related posts plugins though.

    Its a linkback not a pingback, and its completely normal, so dont worry about it :)
