Know The Difference Between Good and Bad Trackbacks
Posted by: THAT Public Domain Diva in Blog ClassroomJust a few days ago… I finally learned about the difference between good and bad trackbacks.
I was over at http://netprofitstoday.com on Rosalind Gardners Blog where she posted a short article about just this subject. It’s amazing how clear something will become in your mind if someone will just use a few visual aids!
I started building blogs in 2006 after I participated in Rosalind Gardner and Anik Singal’s Blog Classroom… which if you haven’t started your first blog yet, I highly recommend. I now have too many blogs to keep up with… really! But, I couldn’t get my head around trackbacks… what are good trackbacks and which are the bad or “spammy” trackbacks.
Now… if you don’t have a blog yet, this won’t make a bit of sense. But it you do… you will know that when you are moderating your comments you will often see comments that don’t make any sense.
These “comments” are filled with links and things with … in where normally you would see a few paragraphs of comments.
These are trackbacks! When someone makes mention of something on their website about your website and “links” to that article… that link creates a TrackBack.
So… wouldn’t that be good? Don’t we want all then link “juice” we can get?
Whoa… hang on partner. All links are not “good links. If the link is coming in from a site that has nothing to do with the subject of your website… well why would we want that link. Google (nor any other search engine) is going to think it’s a hot ticket.
So how can you tell if a trackback is good or bad? Check out Ros’s post over at NetProfitsToday.com
You’ll be so much smarter!
