Pingbacks – good or bad?
Pingbacks – they are one of those things I keep meaning to find out more about. But what made me sit up and take notice was FOUR pingback comments on my last post. They come from some blogs or websites to do with elderly people and had picked up on something I had mentioned – the crucial word being “elderly”.
I have no problem with the fact that this person’s post referred to me as “This chap” but the comment s/he made about my post made me think that what s/he was doing was automated as my blog was not at all relevant to things like “elderly aid”.
So the lesson I have learned is to be careful about which posts I allow Pingbacks on and needless to say Pingbacks are being disallowed on both my last post and this one!
Has anyone else had the same problem?

Yes. I keep getting ping backs from this softophile.com website. It appears to be nothing more than an automated advertising strategy.
