So, how does a trackback work?

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought you were testing the technology of trackbacks.

Links in comments work technically without any difficulty I think - but I'm more interested in links within blog posts themselves. That's why I buy blog posts.

So am I - my original mental model, the one that led me to start this thread, was about placing one-way permalinks in the body of blog posts, with good anchor text in the link.

Thats the thing that I was thinking of when I suggested in the other thread, the one about "is there money in blogs", that we should do a kind of trackbacking club.

I was mistaken in my terminology. I don't want to do "trackbacking" (which automatically produces a reciprocal link), I want to find some linking partners to do permalinks within blog posts with.

Right now, tho, I'm just testing comments as a way to do a kind of oneway linking.

It will work, but it has a few problems.
