    Is there someone who can tell me why I keep getting trackbacks (and they are labeled as such in the dashboard)showing up in the comments?

    That's normal. To avoid trackbacks, you can set it to your Discussion Settings or untick the options (Allow trackbacks and pingbacks..) in specific post or pages.

    Thanks for the fast reply, but why would you want them to show up in the comments? Do they have benefits or are they only annoying?

    If you wanna show that somebody links to one of your posts and to keep track of who is linking to your post.

    But beware of spam trackbacks, there were couple of sites that automatically ping your websites with the use of plugins and other hacks.
