Question regarding comments on my website

800 followers

Hey All,

So apparently I have 6 comments on my new site (first one I've made). However, I'm not sure that they are truly comments.

Here's what my email reads regarding the posts: "A new pingback on the post . . . is waiting for your approval."

So what do I do with these pingbacks (which I don't even know what a pingback is!)? Do I approve them, trash them or spam them?

Any suggestions are quite welcome here.

Thanks!

most comments in wordpress are spam .. read the comment in your dashboard and if it's not related to content , then don't approve .
