Pingbacks - are they good for me?

by finebird Posted: 14 years ago 6 replies

Hi all,

I started my affiliate wordpress blog a while back and now I'm receiving e-mails like "A new pingback to the post XXX is waiting for your approval". If I go to that site from my e-mail, I find a link to my blog - which is, essentially, a backlink and it is great, right?
Should I approve these pingbacks - is it good or bad for me? What are the incentives of those who send them? What happens if I do approve them and what happens if I don't?

Thanks in advance

  Yeah that's the question.
  Usually 99% of the times pingback(s) come from bots, so you can disregard them... if they come from genuine blogs, feel free to approve!

Real ping-backs from high PR relevant blogs are good.
