What to do with comments like this?
Hi everyone! My site has just turned 10 months old and I am happy that it's getting organic traffic and comments. However, I recently received a comment with URL links and I'm just wondering if I should approve it. Would you approve comments like this? What do you do with this?

Glad you are getting comments on your work. I agree with others that it might be scam, but if it doesn't add value to your work I wouldn't allow it.
Thanks.
Looks like a trackback. I delete the ones I get as spam. They want your readers to switch to their sites.

It definitely doesn't add value to my post so I took care of it by deleting it. Next time I get another one like this, I know what to do. Thanks Frank.
I got one like this a week or so ago. Found out it was spam. I wouldn't trust it. http://scamanalyze.com/check/btcqatar.info.html
Yeah I would have to disapprove that comment. If it doesn’t give your article substance it shouldn’t be there.
Just my opinion
From the little that I can see of this comment, I would delete it without giving it another thought, Alice looks like spam to me.
When it comes to comments, two of the questions that could be forefront in your decision-making process, does the comment bring value to your website and secondly is the comment congruent with the theme of the post that they are commenting on.

Hi Alysanna. That sounds like spam to me, and I woudn't allow it on my site. I would mark it as spam. Carol
