Trackbacks and Pingbacks?

[thomasr]

I always get trackback/pingbacks comments from other people posting my stuff on their site.

Now I do not approve these comments....why do i see other blogs doing this? What is the benefit?

Be getting quality comments the content of the page gets more uniquness, If you do NOT allow any links, that would be great and you will get more traffic to your page... however, if you do not allow linking, most of the guys will not visit you, because, most of the guys are commenting to get a backlink..
