Pingback - An Effective Tool (An example for you...)

We received a letter detailing the struggles of the trackback spam. I hate those spammers (yeah I know hate is strong but their pretty much all "bots" so I hate 'em)Let me encourage you to be proactive about driving people to your site through the "pingback" feature. For those of you who have'nt used this yet, let me show you a recent example of how I've used it. There is a very helpful site called Guate360 which has a blog that I read often. It is in Spanish so most of my readers would find it difficult. Every once in a while they post an article that I will write about. I will try and do more in depth research on the subject and bring new insight. However, like today, I start out with a sentence like: I link the title of their article to the specific blog post. Not just the Guate360 blog in general but the actual post itself. Then when I finish writing the article I select " under Additional Actions. This then notifies the Guate360 blog about my article and puts it there in the comments. To check out how it turned out, click on the link in the quote above and scroll down to comment 15. It posts just enough to get the reader interested and contains your title with a link to your site. It is a tremendous way to generate traffic.When you reach out in this way, you are putting your article in front of someone who is already reading and interested in the subject. There could be no greater way of target markeing!
