Exactly how to use trackback posts to get links from other bloggers and sites that use trackbacks. Trackbacks are more powerful than commenting on someone’s blog because they use the title of the post you link to them with as the link back to your site.
Instead of signing a direct comment, which becomes the link to your site, with “Jack Humphrey,” a trackback link to your site will include your post title which should have keywords in it you are trying to score for in the engines.
So a post I make about “Blog Marketing” which includes links to other bloggers’ posts on the topic, this will return links to my blog marketing post with the anchor text: Blog Marketing. Very cool. Very effective.
This video will explain it all and you will be doing a trackback in a matter of minutes from watching, I promise!

Usually their system emails them that they have a new comment. When they check it out, they find it is actually a trackback and moderate it just like a comment. if you are on Wordpress, maake sure in General Settings that Wordpress “attempt to notify (ping) people you link to” or something like that. It’s just a checkbox. Then you can pretty much link to anyone and they’ll get the message just like they get new comments messages.
Thanks for the info on how to do a trackback. found you by googling how to do it!
Hey Jack,
Thank you for this great post. I’ve been really trying to figure out what Trackbacks are, and now I know. Definitely going to be looking into this topic more.
Take care.
This is really something new to me. I have never heard before and to understand (The track back) I had to repeat the video several time. Thanks man, it’s great. I will absolutely use it.
thanks for posting the video! works better than any text instructions =)
Oh wow, I’ve been missing out! I often appreciate other blogs on my blog but I did not know about trackbacks.
Thanks a bunch for this post!
FINALLY!!!
I now understand trackbacks. Been to so many other sites that (try to) explain it.
… am copying the video, will post on my WP blog, & do a TB to this post.
BTW: where’s your TB link?? – no trackback url is visible (1st comment).
Thanks Jack. This is a good bit of information on trackbacks. In the course of this little training piece, I have launched my first trackback.

Great post on trackbacks, Jack. I have to get with my team and find out if they’re doing this right! We’ve been blogging for a little over a year and don’t have much of a page rank, so I’m wondering if sites I’m linking to care much about getting links from my ‘little old blog’?
