 * Hi everyone,
    I blog at ugochi-jolomi.com and I have Askimet installed. Lately
   I have seen two Pingback comments Like this:
 * Trackback on The Car Door #
    google
 * google… Google [http://www.google.com&#8230](http://www.google.com&#8230);
 * I was wondering since Askimet approves it if it is genuine and okay if I approve.
   
   What does this from Google mean and how does it profit my site?
 * Thanks a lot

 * Pingbacks themselves do not benefit your site very much, They simply indicate
   that someone else has linked to a post or page on your site.
