I leave mine on so that I can see the legit ones and I just delete the spam. Thanks for sharing by the way. :) I’ve had some spam ones and some legit ones as well.

I don't get all that much of it, and since I moderate comments, I'll leave it on for now and keep it in the back of my mind if it gets out of hand. Thanks Jordon and Katie.

But those in your list are definitely spam. I don't see a lot of spam via trackbacks or pingbacks because akismet generally deletes them before I even have to see them. To turn them off, go "Options" then "Discussion" and untick the box next to "Allow link notifications from other Weblogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)". I believe that will do the trick.

I had trackbacks and pingbacks enabled for over a year and a half, and I only ever got two legitimate ones and tons of spam like the ones you're getting. Finally, I turned them off, and no one noticed. They’re all spam.
