im new to bloging

added wordpress to some of my site the other day.
and the comment spam came thick and fast.
anyway a big % of the comments had pingback so i Approve a few 100 with sites in common with my site.

today i came to to googling my site url in google and the first 2 listings were my site the next 25 pages were blogs linkin to my articles .big % using http://bit.ly to link to my site.

It won't help your blog much getting pingbacks, trackbacks from spammy websites. Be selective about the comments to approve. Make sure they add to the topic. Also make sure you use Akismet to filter out spam. Turning off comments is something you have to think about if managing comments becomes a huge and time consuming task.

Trackbacks were a good idea that failed. Then came Pingbacks and that failed
also. Now we have Twitter.

I've found that if I moderate the comments and manually blacklist IP's that are spamming my blog, the spamming tapers off very quickly.

According to me, It's bad. Most of the trackback blogs are just useless ones. Why should we care such Pings and Trackbacks?

The whole idea about blogging is to have interaction, I don't think it is a good idea not to allow comments.

If you use wordpress spamfree and other anitspam measures alot of spamming dissapears. Trackbacks dont seem to help from spammy sites.

It feels bad when you invest alot of your time writing content for your blog and people try to spam all over. You need to draw a silver line when it comes to blog commenting. After writing the content you also need to spend time moderating those comments on your blog. Comments can be for appreciation, suggestion and discussion starters.

It is kinda the same thing as do follow comments: if you manually approve, and delete all the spam....they won`t hurt at all!

So anyway what would be your conclusion about pingbacks and trackbacks? Should we just disable them?

You might want to check this video: http://www.youtube.com/blogpromotion#p/u/30/fCCq3K7XpEI

It is a bit old, but would give you a pretty good idea of the value of trackbacks, I think...

I've encountered some trackbackds that were placed in the spam folder but actually weren't spam, so I think is better to physically monitor the comments yourself.
