    Hi,
    should trackback and pingbacks allowed to our site or blog? Will it help us in improvement in pagerank? Whom should we allow for tackback?:confused:
    Please reply.
    Thanks

    those are good to have, unless from spam sites.
    i usually turn them off for my blogs to reduce work on checking comments.

    The more trackbacks you have the more the page is diluted and juice distributed to other links. Personally I don't use them, they are good for attracting people to link to your pages though.

    Trackback:

    When a blog links to another blog, a track back is a notification sent between the two blogs letting the receiving blog's author know (s)he is being linked to (this implies that both blogs have the ability to send and receive trackbacks)

    Pingback:

    A pingback is one of three types of linkbacks, methods for Web authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking to, or referring to their articles.

    What is the purpose of track back and ping back?

    How do they differ?

    A Trackback contains, in addition to the link back to your post, the title of the post, the name of your site, and an excerpt of your post while Pingbacks contain only the link. Since they are much simpler Pingbacks can be sent mostly automatic while a Trackback comment requires some interaction, especially for the excerpt.

    Don't you think trackback will give us the opportunity to spread our work and getting us a backlink which may useful in search engine ranking?
