I've been pinged!
Last Update: October 14, 2013
Hi everyone
I received an email from word press to say that one of my posts was pinged and waiting for my approval!
I'm actually laughing right now because it sounds funny! Pinging that is!
I've never heard of it and thought I would reach out to the WA community to see if you could tell me what a ping is and should I approve this ping thing! hehe... sorry!
Thanks in advance

I have also been pinged twice. But is it dangerous in any way to have them approved and keep them? The first pingback I got from a friend here at WA that did so my page went up at the top off google for the keyword... scam free online business which is the name on my site.

A ping is someone linking back to your site to the post in question, I had a few of these surprise me a while back. They can happen when you make internal links. I also had one from a questionable source so I didn't approve it. Nice to have someone linking back to your site but if you can't tell who it is then best to bin it.
