Getting trackbacks | Getting links

Marketing | Friday 26 October 2007

Blogging marketing guru, Jack Humphrey (of the Friday Traffic Report), has created a great video tutorial on How to do a trackback to get more links and traffic. The video demonstrates exactly how to use trackback posts to get links from other bloggers and sites that use trackbacks. It gives you all the goods on this blog marketing secret and will have you doing trackbacks in a matter of minutes.

But wait! You say you don’t know a trackback from a kickback. Well, let’s “back” up, explain the basics and show you why it’s such a great marketing technique.

Quite simply, a trackback is a way you tell another blogger that you’ve posted something that relates or “tracks back” to one of their posts. If you receive a trackback message from someone, it means that a post on your website was interesting enough to talk about it on another blog, and as a result you get a “back” link and the resulting traffic from the referring website. If you use a trackback link, it appears as a summary comment on the site that you’re referring to and often brings you traffic again. It’s a way that you exchanges links, traffic and thoughts with other blogs.

Few people know how to effectively increase blog traffic using trackbacks, but Jack Humphrey does and his informative video that follows is a great tutorial to show how it’s done.
