Main | Movin' on up... »

back online

After a few v.!ag.r@ shots. I'm back up, with the default MT design of course. Nothing much to say but hey! I'm back. Whoopididoo. Oh what the hell are TrackBacks for you MT users?

Comments

Woo hoo!!

Trackbacks...I dunno, I never really got it. I just turned it off.

:)

Hey Paul- Welcome back!

If I really like this entry that you wrote (and I also use MT on my website) I can Trackback to your entry from my site. You will then see a list of all the chumps like me who have linked to your entry.

It's a way to share readers among sites...typically if you have an entry that I link to, people interested in MY content will be interested in YOUR content, so we can share readers through their system, known as TrackBack.

I don't use it yet, but when I start writing more technical entries on my blog that I want search engines to read, I will probably turn them on again.

Does that make sense?

Doesn't that open up the floodgates of spam hell?

it is another way to drive traffic to your site, so if other sites have your entry trackbacked, and those sites get scooped up by search engines, then yes, your site will get more attention. More attention means more spam vulnerabilities.

D0000d! I'm so glad UR back up and running on MT! :)
