 * I found some comments awaiting moderation, but they are not comments.
 * They are links to sites that have posted a link to my site.
 * Am I suppose to select “Allow” or “Delete”?
 * I can’t seem to find direct documentation. If someone can point me in the right
   direction, that would be great.
 * Thanks

 * Odds are, they are trackbacks. If the sites look “spammy” I see no reason not
   to delete.

 * Trackback spam is among the most common and annoying thing bloggers get to deal
   with. Are you running any antispam plugins?

 * They’re either trackbacks or pingbacks.
    Of course, they could be spam, too. 
   Up to you if you’d like to allow them or not. [http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Trackback](http://codex.wordpress.org/Glossary#Trackback)

 * Yes I have an antispam plugin, but it doesn’t show anything. Maybe I have to 
   configure it.
 * Thanks for the help, I will read the documentation links.
