Increase Traffic by Utilizing the Trackback

One of the easiest ways to build traffic without spending any time promoting your blog is by utilizing the trackback, which is sometimes called the pingback.

When you write about another blogs blog post you can and should link to that post to give credit where credits due or to provide your readers with new and interesting content. If you link to a blog that has pings or trackbacks enabled you have just helped yourself out as well.

See when you link to someones post that has this feature enabled on their blog your blog will automatically ping them and then in their comments section up will pop a link back to the post your just wrote about with a little excerpt from your article. It allows readers to see what others are saying about a post and is a great way to get people back your site.

Simple yet very effective. You don’t even have to solicit those bloggers for a link exchange, the blogging software does it automatically.
