I find that there are a lot of sites out there that basically just scrap your hard work content and then post a trackback on your own site back to the content they have stolen from you. It’s carzy and very very annoying

In my opinion, trackbacks manages to pull of a small revolution and they are one of the main reasons behind the blog platform’s popularity.

Hey Brandon –

Very good points on disagreeing with people. There’s really not a whole lot to being an “expert or guru” than writing a whole lot and having valid points on your topic. There’s rarely a RIGHT answer in internet marketing – just great discussions.

>creates continued interest in the conversation.
This is a huge one that most folks don’t get. After a while, the conversations get increasingly old and boring, and it’s tough to keep up and stay interested.

Judgint by the date on this post (and when I finally approved the trackback) it sometimes takes a while to get the desired effect.

Glad to hear you got some great traffic from a good conversation – I’ve definitely stopped by from time to time since then, and you have a real knack for writing about the topic.

Congrats on getting rid of a PITA client:) Life is too short to work with people you don’t like.

And the result will then look like the second “comment” on this post, which actually is a trackback.

BittBox, that is correct. You leave a comment on another blog by linking to it. Wordpress will do it automatically if it can. For MT you have to insert the trackback url.

Awesome. I’m new to blogging, and I have constantly been wondering what a trackback is.

1 Question though, if you have time Brandon:

So by sending trackbacks to the specified URI’s in Wordpress, this creates comments on that particular blog page? Without ever visiting the blog and leaving a comment?

Probably a stupid question, but hey, like I said, I’m new.
