Part 2 - Comments and Trackbacks
At the end of most blog posts you will see a link saying 'Comments'. Click on it and you're taken to a list of comments and/or a comment form for you to leave your own.
When I first started blogging I was often moved to comment on other people's blogs but then suddenly overcome with shyness, feeling that my opinion was in some way 'not worthy'! These days, I love browsing through my favourite blogs and discovering new ones and contributing by leaving helpful comments as I go. My challenge is creating the time to do so!
I have set myself the goal of commenting on at least one blog a day. Why? Because if done right, it's great for building traffic to your own blog and here's why:
a) It puts you and your blog address under the noses of your target market and
b) It creates another link TO your blog from another website/blog which is great for your Google Page Rank score.
So how do you do it right?
Well, you need to find a blog that shares the same target market or audience and which allows you to leave your URL - ideally without displaying your email address.
There's actually a third reason for leaving a comment... it's to let the other blog owner know about you and your activities, which may result in them returning the compliment and, even better, creating a 'Trackback'.
So what's a Trackback?
Put simply, a trackback is something you might create when you comment on a post on someone else's blog, within the pages of your own blog.

Are you so serious about working at home that you would pay money to prove it? If you answer yes to that question, you are a prime target for scammers because this is one tactic they love to use. They may word it differently on various websites and advertisements, but the main point they want to get across is that by sending them your money, you will be "proving" how serious you are about working for them.Nothing could be more ridiculous. Have you ever seen a legitimate

Practicing Altruism The 'Golden Rule' occurred in the Greek and Chinese cultures thousands of years before the Christian era: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The spirit of the Golden Rule is one of generosity and altruism and is at the heart of any personal networking and 'right' living. Ralph Waldo Emerson said 'To have a friend, you have to be one', and his words are as true today as they ever were. You can test

As a specialist in getting restaurants open, it is surprising how many people ask, “How can I get out of my restaurant?” Reasons for this question vary greatly, from a death in the family to a merger with another firm, to the end of a lease.Selling your restaurant requires quality prior planning if you are going to realize the maximum value for the business. This planning is not much different when getting out than when you first got into that business.What thing

How to create a trackback will differ depending on which blogging software you use. In Typepad it's pretty easy to do, but quite tricky to explain without showing you the post screen view.
Let's have a go anyway... (For clarity, we'll call the post you want to comment on Post B.)
So you start by simply creating a new post on your blog (Post A). In the body of Post A, you would include Post B's Permalink. You would then locate the trackback url on Post B (usually, but not always) alongside the Comments link at the foot of a post. Now back on Post A, you would paste the trackback url in the trackback box on your post screen. If you can't find your trackback box, you might need to configure the post view. Typepad users will find a reasonable explanation in the Knowledge Bank but if you find you are still lost you might want to reserve a place on the next Advanced Blogging Teleclass mentioned below, where I'll be able to show you in real time.
Whatever you do, get it mastered. It's really not hard once you know what to do and both Trackbacks and Comments are well worth the effort in both traffic and networking terms.
