When Should I approve Pingbacks

[propertyhunter]

I have a question that is probably very stupid but I am never sure when I should be approving pingbacks to my blog posts. I use zemanta and get a fair few pingbacks from it, should I just ignore them or approve them?

I assume I should ignore pingbacks from my own site, for instance when I link to a page from a blog post.

Thanks

Hi Propertyhunter,

I recommend that you only approve pingbacks from websites you trust. Use SEOmoz tools to determine a site's Mozrank/Domain Authority, and I agree that you should delete pingbacks from your own domain. Using a related pages plugin is a better choice for inter-linking your content.

Hope this helps!
