Build Links the Easy Way with Trackbacks
Building links with other bloggers is all about networking and being social. One of the easiest ways to do this is by utilizing trackbacks. Trackbacks are essentially remote comments on another’s blog, and are incredibly easy to set up. These comments are quick and easy to put into action, and allow you to build a network of relevant links in very little time.
To start putting trackbacks to work for you, search for “your keyword + trackbacks” (without quotes) in Google.
This will allow you to find all the blogs in your niche that are using your target keywords and have trackbacks turned on. The blogger must have trackbacks enabled to appear in this list.
Next, set up your trackback post. Write a short post in your Wordpress blog with a direct link to the post you’ve chosen to comment on. Link directly to the post you’re writing about, and make sure you’re making a relevant and insightful comment. The blogger you’re linking to must approve the trackback before it goes live, so be sure that you’re providing high quality content that they’ll want to see on their blog.
Then use the permalink trackback field in Wordpress to add the URL of the post you’re commenting on. By filling in this field, you’re telling Wordpress to ping the owner of the other blog when your post is published. This is their cue to accept the trackback, publishing the content you’ve written on both of your sites.
Trackbacks are a win-win proposition for both parties involved. You gain a relevant backlink for your target keywords, and the blogger you’ve linked to gets a review of their post and a backlink, as well. This method can be extremely useful in your link building campaign. The key is to provide high quality, on topic content that both your readers and the other blogger’s readers can benefit from. Over time, the process
becomes easier and easier, and you’ll soon be able to turn out a high quality trackback post in no time at all.
Congratulations – you’ve added a new skill to your link building arsenal. Now you can begin putting the power of trackbacks to work for you! This quick and easy method will supercharge your link building efforts.
