Trackback Orgy

Bill · 2005-07-08, 09:36 PM

So, can someone explain a bit more about this trackbacking shit?

I go to, say, Boogie's blog, I go to an entry that I figure I can usefully link to- so there's a trackback link just above the comments entry fields, which takes me to a page like this:
http://www.boogie-blog.com/4th-of-july-weekend.htm

Which I was thinking of linking with my page:
http://blog.360.yahoo.com/buttus_maximus?p=34

(Which is a yahoo360 blog and probably doesn't support trackbacking, but I use it as a test case. I have a new wordpress blog, but it doesn't have a 4th of july entry. )

But, can someone spell out a bit more how a trackback is done?

So, Boogie, I tried to trackback to you here:

http://www.boogie-blog.com/2257-compliance.htm

From my post here:

By putting your trackback url into the trackback field of the posting form. But I have no idea if it worked. I expected to see some sign that the trackback existed.

Can someone show me pages with examples of trackbacks on them?

I installed dofollow, that was easy.
