BTW, all you splog owners gotta do is kill nofollow in the comments and then leave comments on each others blogs. Simple.

I must be missing something. That's certainly possible, I'm still not totally clear about the details of trackbacks, pingbacks, and that stuff.

Why is a comment better than a trackback?

Bill, I don't know why you always seem to take what I say personally. When I say crap sites, I'm not talking about anyone's sites in particular.

You've already said google can't tell the difference between no trustrank minor pages and notrustrank spam

I said IF Google is using the TrustRank algo, then Google can't tell the difference between low PageRank quality pages and low PageRank spam. That makes longtail SERPs somewhat of a level playing field when your splog is only competing against spam/new sites with slim-to-none link profile, but I wouldn't say splogs have any kind of an edge. A splog page with a low link profile and no trusted IBLs is also no match for a page on a high TBPR site with links from places like Yahoo! Directory or DMOZ even if that page only mentions your target keyword somewhere on the bottom of the page.

But I'm totally with you on one thing, people shouldn't splog.

When did I say people shouldn't splog? Whatever floats your boat, man. I was arguing against using trackbacks as a deep linking strategy.

Why is a comment better than a trackback?

- Leaving a short comment takes less time than writing a post
- Leaving a comment on a nofollow-free blog gives you one way links, whereas with a trackback, linking is reciprocal.
