TRACKBACK DEFINED

Exxplaining the trackback concept can be a challenge. So we’ll use an example to explain it in the best way possible.

OK, say you see a great blog post on another person’s blog and want to link to it on your blog. You could do this the old-fashioned way by manually putting a link on your site to that blog post. However, if you do it that way, the person whose blog post you are linking to won’t know that you are linking to them unless you tell them.

This is where trackbacks come in. Trackback is best defined as a system that notifies the owner of a blog when one of their posts has been linked to at another blog.

HOW DO TRACKBACKS WORK?

Once a trackback system has been set up for a blog, there will have a link at the bottom of every blog post~. This link will say something like “Blog This!” Anyone who clicks the link can then put a link to that blog post on their site. The person who posted the original blog will then be notified via email that their blog posting has been linked to. Additionally, the link that was clicked (“Blog This!”) will change to a trackback. From that point forward, the trackback” link will keep track of how many people have chosen to blog about that particular post. So after the first trackback, it will say “Trackbacks: 1”. The number of trackbacks recorded will be updated as they occur.

WHY ARE TRACKBACKS IMPORTANT?

Trackbacks increase your blog’s credibility, and credibility attracts attention to your site. After all, other people with similar interests thought your posts were good enough to be mentioned (trackbacked) on their blogsites!

Anytime a person makes a trackback on your blog, they make a post on their own blog about your blog. This, in turn, lets their readers know about your blog.Chances are their readers will want to visit your blog to see what the big deal is and to search for additional information. If they see something on your blog that they like, they’ll keep coming back for more. That means more traffic for your blog.

Can you imagine what would happen if 5 different bloggers trackbacked a post on your blog? Depending on how popular their blog is, that’s potentially as much as hundreds of new readers for your blog! Pretty incredible, right?

HOW CAN I INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TRACKBACKS I GET?

Traditionally bloggers were told to simply make quality posts frequently (2-3 times a week).A quality blog post must be reasonable in length, interesting, and informative. Do this enough and you will get trackbacks. It was another variation of the truism that, “if you throw enough against the wall some of it is bound to stick”.

Those who are attempting to make money blogging these days had to find a more sure approach beyond quality and quantity. These bloggers began by sending 100’s of posts to other bloggers in their niche asking them for a trackback. Eventually software called a Trackback Submitter was developed to automate and improve the concept.

Trackback Submitter uses the article submission concept to create trackbacks. Think of each post as a separate article. Submit your post/article to the Trackback Submitter, just as you would to an article submitter. Keep in mind that if you don’t like to write, these articles can come from available PLR. The Trackback Submitter process allows you to spins it into as many unique forms as possible, then it submits a unique article to thousands of make money blogs. Each time the article is used it automatically generates a trackback! How’s that for streamlining the process?

Trackbacks are a wonderful thing for every blog. Trackbacks increase the awareness of your blog, and they increase targeted traffic. The result is you make more money. All of this improves your search engine rating as well! What could be better than that!
