I have been receiving numerous "pingback requests from a site asking to add something I created to their site. I am assuming this is a good thing as it gets yourself further exposure and all builds backlinks.
I do have 2 areas for concern:
1. Is this considered duplicate content?
2. If someones asks to have a write up I did on my site and I accept, I am left with a "pingack" comment in the comment section of that page. I don't want pingbacks in my comments. My comments are for actual interaction.

    I would love to know the answer to that too.

      Yea, and also my understanding of this is that you are then creating reciprocal links between the two sites which from what I have heard Google doesn't really value. I prefer to ignore pingbacks but would be interested to hear some other opinions on this.

    For me its' not worth it try to implement other useful SEO techniques to improve your site's rankings.

        Sometimes I accept them, sometimes I don't..I've never really seen any difference in rankings attributable to either...*shrugs* unless someone knows something I don't?
