Blogger allows links in the option tab under your posting window.

As far as I can tell, it doesn’t work worth a flip. If you want to link to something I wrote, it will grab the urls etc, but it won’t show it on my blog in the proper section below the comments.

Best,

Trackback is an easy way to create a backlink building and networking, is very useful because it is very easy, suitable for busy people and a little lazy

Hi there,

I’m wondering whether anyone can advise me about this. I’m using Wordpress, so the trackback is automatic. However, certain website such as Blog Carnival, will ask for the trackback URL. How do you identify the trackback URL from your wordpress dashboard?

I like to post links to other blogs that are in my overall community. I have a baseball blog, so when my team plays another team, I include a link to a blog that focuses on that team.

Is this approach good for me and the other blog?

Funny how we still don’t know if they have any search engine value… it would make sense Google knows what they are and can detect them and then wouldn’t assign PR since they are AUTOMATED… but it can’t hurt. I think I am going to follow all of my trackbacks and actually comment on the posts – then debate deleting the trackback.

I use Blogger and as far as I know, if you link to another blog post that uses trackback, it will automatically trackback to your blog.

So, this is how Trackback works. I have always wondered about that but no one has ever explained in such detail.

The question is how can it affect the SEO, authority or popularity of any blog post

Always had a notion that I knew what a TrackBack is!!

But after reading this, Andy made it a sure thing that I understood what it means in the actual sense.

Thanks for writting this article Andy, even if its a couple of years earlier post.

I do observe lots of spam comments on my blog and had always wondered over how I can stop this. And now after taking a few minutes off my daily chores, I put a small plugin and it takes care of the spam comments thru CAPTCHA.

Now, no worries. Rest in peace.

But Darren, why isn’t there any captcha for your comments fields? Do you get spam or not? And how often do you check your comments?

Trackback spamming is real. I saw it happen on a blog.
Thanks for this post!

In the new version of Wordpress, the trackback panel is located in under “Sections>Discussion”, not “Options”.

And thanks for the great post.

Hi Darren,

Thanks for your explanation about trackbacks.

I left a comment yesterday on my blog, asking a commenter if he was getting my replies. No answer :(

But at least now I know why!

Now that I’ve turned on my “attempt to notify blogs” and “attempt to notify links” in my Wordpress, everything should run smoothly.

Warm regards and thanks again from a newbie blogger,

Rov.

Great job on explaing this one in a simple to understand article. I think a lot of people do not understand trackbacks. It’s one of those subjects that is actually so simple that it’s confusing LOL
