Anyone know what is up with trackback. I have not had too many trackback requests or pings. But, the two that I have had recently seem like the other person is merely republishing what I wrote on their blog and then pinging me. Is that how it works? Seems strange if that is the deal. Maybe someone can clue me in a little better.
Yeah, basically you're using it to credit the place where you found the post. You see the trackback URL, paste it into your trackback input form, write your post, and you're done
ok, well here is one example. He basically has the whole post on his site. So, that is kosher? Sorry for being dense
It's pretty cheeky, but he gave you a link back and wrapped it in <blockquote> tags so he did credit you for it...
I never did 'get it' and don't really care to do so anyway. I read the explanation article and it seems like a waste of time to me. Then again, it took me forever to 'get' blogs, so take it for what it's worth
I kinda agree with you Mopacfan. Obviously the people that have used it on me recently have been working in the gray area of trackback. Thanks Oliver.
