If you scroll down to the comments you will see that this comment is actually the beginning of the post I made here.
The concept being that search engines like blogs not only for their text, but for their activity.
So, by my making a trackback to Mate-Find, I have not only given her a recip link, but given activity to her and me.
RSS feed: RSS is Really Simple Syndication.
If a surfer has an RSS reader installed on his pc, and he likes your blog, he can add the feed to his reader so he can read your blog from his pc without having to actually come to your site.
I have taken it to the next level by installing the RSS Equalizer which allows me to provide headlines from other blogs to mine (changes with every page refresh) thus increasing the text and activity on my blog.
Hope that helps a little. |
Thanks for the taking the time to post the answers baddog
Ok I think I get RSS Feeds, pretty cool, but about trackbacks:
The Mechanics of Trackbacks:
How do you institute trackbacks into your blog? I mean is it a cut and paste thing, inserting something into a database - is it a manual process or automated? Do you surf around looking for other blogs with interesting entries that you can trackback to or do you setup to get entries from specific blogs? I see something that says URI.. what is a URI??
Maybe it'd be easier to post a link. If anyone has a link that explains the mechanics of trackbacks then please post it
Thanks y'all.
