Can Someone Explain Pingbacks Please

by penpoint Posted: 15 years ago 3 replies

I posted a new article on my site and I included some links to other pages on my site within the article. After publishing the article, I pinged it. The first question is - should I do that?

Now I am receiving a pingback request in my Wordpress Dashboard asking me to approve the pingback. It looks like it's the links in the article I posted on my site. Should I approve the pingback, disapprove it, or ignore it?

Thanks for any insight you can provide.

Scroll half-way down the page and there's a whole long explanation on pingbacks.

Hope that helps!

No need to manually ping new pages/posts as WordPress does that automatically for you.

As for pingbacks, just ignore any internal pingbacks and keep a list of external pingbacks so that you can check if they are worth indexing.
