This morning I wrote an article on my site, and I already have 2 Pingbacks. I didn't know what that was so I clicked that link and found out someone posted my article on their site (they wrote by: illmcnasty.com). I know this is good since I am building backlinks, so I want to know how they found my site, and why only this article is getting pingbacks. Could anyone give me any more info about this? The two sites that linked back to my site are: http://macbook.explainedonline.net/sharp-is-making-luxury-computers-one-screen-isn%E2%80%99t-enough/ http://thedailyparr.com/gizmodo/posts-about-gizmodo-as-of-april-21-2009-2/ Thanks, Dillmando
I also have this on my blog and it normally happened sometimes when you posted an article in your blog. Your article will get a pingback in the other blog. Those sites are the autoping blog, it just a robot that can crawled and search a newly updated blogs posts in the web.
Those are autoblogs that copy the content of other blogs, not the best way of getting more backlinks...
they are putting links to my site at the beginning and end of my article though, so it is good right?
It's probably splogs which scraped your content. This is why I disabled trackbacks so there is no incentive for splogs to scrape my blog posts.
1. If they have just copy pasted your article, it's better not to approve those trackbacks. Let them remain one way links to your site. 2. Coming back to your question about getting more people to blog about your posts, just be an active blogger, comment on relevant blogs and people will start noticing your blog and posts.
