Spamtracking – Spamming with trackbacks

I came up with this term today: spamtracking. It’s meaning is using Trackback to spam blogs and create a positive effect for the blog you are using to do it. Trackbacking a post from another blog will not only give you an inbound link but also visitors if that post gets read a lot.

Of course most blogs automatically add the rel=”nofollow” in their outbound links (for comments and trackbacks), so if you want to do it you’d better start finding blogs that don’t. Doing this by hand wouldn’t be a very good idea though,. However, if you find a way to automate it would make for a worthwile experiment.

If you just want to keep it small scale and just add a little extra juice to your that are worth it, you can use this tool: TrackbackSearch

It searches blogs and finds trackback url’s depending on your search query. On top of that they also offer the Blog Pinger which can help you mass ping trackback url’s.

unlike comment spam, there is currently no way to add a nofollow to trackbacks, which is why the move to track spam in the first place.

Do you have the a login and password that I can use for TrackBackSearch? The site is down and the app will not run without registering. Seems like no resolve.

Just switched back to publishing a full RSS feed. I turned on Feedburner summaries when I saw a bunch of new rebloggers scraping my feed. For now, I think I’d rather let subscribers enjoy the full posts and deal with the rebloggers later. Not that they are doing any damage, it’s just really fun.

Twitter shoots itself in the foot by shutting down the 650 accounts StatSheet created to publish useful information. StatSheet’s side of the story. Kind of a blackhat approach but not spam.

Good news! The online advertising recession is here, at least according to journalist extraordinaire Erick Schonfeld. Well not really.
