    Good video. However I’d like to have a trackback url on my blog and when I click “trackback url” I get nothing.

    So I clicked “trackback url” on your blog and also get nothing. Well by nothing I mean the same page i was on, no trackback url is visible.

  22. Craig Towsley on MyAvatars 0.2 September 20th, 2007 11:02 pm

    Thanks for putting together the informative video. You’re a great resource.
    I missed one thing however… When I make a TrackBack how do I know if it was accepted? Hopefully this is not too dumb of a question for you. Does a bell ring? Do I get a text message on my cell phone? Will my dog bark?

    Thanks Again,

    Craig

  23. Jack Humphrey on MyAvatars 0.2 September 22nd, 2007 9:52 am

    Craig,

    Nothing happens - not even a dog bark. You have to manually click to the site and check if your trackback was accepted - they are moderated just like comments on most blogs to keep spammers for getting a million links a second with no moderation.

    I frequently do trackbacks and don’t even check if they are accepted anymore. There’s nothing you can do if they aren’t, so it got to be a waste of time worrying about someone not accepting a trackback - seems more their problem than mine and I don’t have time to counsel people on accepting good trackbacks. Just move on to the next one, I say.

    Trackback Secrets to Links and Traffic…

    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…

  27. Steve Warshaw on MyAvatars 0.2 November 13th, 2007 3:23 pm

    I am currently researching all of the “Web2.0″ methods of building traffic to a website.
    I think there is no doubt that trackbacks, when written for the honest purpose of giving the author their props while promoting high quality content on your site must be an effective marketing method. I have recently been running several tests using stumbleupon, but as soon as I’m finished I am going to run some tests using trackbacks to a couple of well respected blogs that I frequent. Jack, should you read this, thank you for explaining this concept; I am amazed that in the 100’s of hours of research I’ve been doing, there hasn’t been 1 tutorial on using trackbacks.

  31. Hero on MyAvatars 0.2 December 22nd, 2007 6:21 pm

    How many minutes, hours or days does it take for the other blogger to receive notification of the trackback? Does being a new blog put one at a disadvantage, because of less frequent spidering by the search engines? Or does pinging Technorati simply get the job done? Then how long does it take? Thanks in advance.

  32. Jack Humphrey on MyAvatars 0.2 December 23rd, 2007 7:52 am

    Hero,

    It is as instant as an email. Using their trackback link you are pinging them and they get an email right away that someone has made a comment, just like regular comments, and that they need to moderate it.

    Hi Jack,

    Based on my test, you DON’T have to put in trackback URL. I believe current version of WP automatically attempts to ping the other WP site, as long as you insert the blog’s link in the body. This option is on by default in WP.

    Can I make a small suggestion?

    When an informative video is the main meat of your blog post, a transcript of some sort (or alternate media) offered for those that can’t view the video would be most generous and appreciated.

    Not all of us are on a connection or device capable of displaying the video, but we would still like to have the info that is in it.

    For example, I am currently accessing your site on an 11 year old PC…233mhz…64mb RAM…2mb of onboard graphics…on a 33.6k dialup connection. Under these conditions, video is impossible to view.

    People like me are missing out on your content, and that really is a shame, because you are giving out info that could make a difference to people and enable them to build a site that can take them out of the poor-house and enable them to finally have a better PC and connection.

    Don’t forget us, don’t shun us, and please don’t ignore us. We are part of your traffic, too.
