When Should I approve Pingbacks
-
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
Paul

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!

Backlink builder (Professional)
If I wanted to hire a professional person to build high quality backlinks for me, where would I look? I'm asking here because I'd rather go on the recommendation of other businesses owners, than a google search. Does anyone have a person that they can recommend? It's for an insurance agency in Texas. Many thanks

Would you approve this blog comment?
I just got an unusual comment on one of my blog posts on our real estate site. The article was about a particular street that is getting renamed after a historical figure. The comment is seven paragraphs of information about this person. The comment is an obvious attempt to get a backlink in my opinion. The site that it is linking back to is an architect's site. So, this is probably the work of an SEO. I've searched and can't find duplicate content online. I thought perhaps it was from wikipedia but there is no entry on this person and I've searched several phrases from the comment and it doesn't appear to be duplicated. So, would you approve it? My gut instinct is "yes" because it would add to the content on my site...but there's this little thing in the back of my head that is saying "Don't do it!!!!" EDIT: I just checked and the architect's site has 3 backlinks, none of which are blog comments. So, perhaps it is legit. Maybe someone is just fanatical about this historical figure. EDIT AGAIN: Very cool. I just checked their about page and the owner of the business has the same last name as the historical figure. OK. I'll stop being super paranoid now. LOL!
