If you don’t know how to use Trackbacks to tell other bloggers you are commenting on their blog, you are missing a powerful “Social Power Linking” technique. I heard the term “meritocracy” for the first time not too long ago. Meaning, blogs that do well through merit dished out by fellow bloggers who use trackbacks and other social “tagging” of sites they like to visit and respect.
So, when I read on MircroPersuasion that PRWeb was instituting trackbacks in their press release service, I knew this largely underground social Power Linking which comes completely from the blogosphere and NOT marketers per se, had taken another step to becoming a norm. Good or bad on the PRWeb front – it has to help people start to understand the power of a trackback!

I have an e-book on power linking but I never read it, I think I will have to now. If google didnt change their algorithims, life would be a lot easier.
I really enjoy your tips. You I love to write, so I set up a blog. After a while I wondered to myself what good my blog would do if it just show casing my love for writing. Your Authority Black Book on Web 2.0 has been very enlightening and helped me gain strides in my quest to connect with other Wahms looking to get into internet marketing via Blogs!!

You posted this in 2006! People still don’t even know how to use trackbacks to get high PR links. I found a few good sites that were high pr and in my niche.. the problem was I couldn’t comment and anchor my keyword term on that page. So I started searching for how I could possibly manage to get an anchor, and guess what Jack, your blog popped up!
This is pure gold right here. PURE GOLD!
lol – thanks man. This one sure has gotten a lot of mileage. Good thing old blog posts don’t ACTUALLY go off to die. This one gets traffic everyday, to this day, and I haven’t thought about it for a long time till you posted tonight.
