Something kindof strange I would like an opinion on

You got your first trackback!

oh lol that’s what that is?

there’s another – so that’s perfectly normal for it to be like that?

Well you did get a trackback… that’s for sure… but I’d say that’s one trackback you don’t need!! You’ve just been SPAMMED!!

Check out SpamKarma2 by DrDave! I run it and it catches every piece of crap so far… Great WP plugin!! You can also use the default Akismet plugin that comes out of the box… It will moderate trackback and comment spam!!

thank you – I thought it was just spam but I know nothing about trackbacks. Thanks so much for the info!

I don’t see that one there… But the first one is a trackback, an acknowledgement/link to you, so to speak. Comment-spam will have unrelated links or unrelated text

If you’re concerned about spam, I recommend Akismet and Bad Behavior. Together they catch the bad stuff.

trackbacks is when someone references to one of your blog entries and includes the link to that… it’s really for linking and sharing purposes (something like social bookmarking)… the more links and trackbacks you give and other people give you… the higher up the list you will be on sites such as technorati.com… spammers are trying hard to move up such lists…

I understand. Makes sense. Thanks for the info!
