Trackback?

Trackback InfoTrackbacks have been one of the biggest downfalls of Pligg. While the feature is built in, it has never worked properly or at all.

On step 2 of the submission process, there is a field at the bottom that will auto populate if Pligg can find the trackback on the source page, or you can enter it manually. No matter what you enter here, Pligg will not ping the source to tell it that it has been mentioned on your Pligg website.

After playing around with this feature, I came up with a way to get this to work in v9.8.2.

On step 1, rather than putting the URL, for example,

Free Online Image Editor

enter the trackback instead. So, it would be,

Free Online Image Editor – Trackback.

This will ping the source and a trackback to your Pligg will be placed on the source URL.

This is because once you submit at step 1, your Pligg does ping the source so it can auto-populate the ‘title’ field.

I have gotten dozens of trackbacks for one of my Pliggs using this method.

I have not come up with or found a way to get trackbacks working in v9.9.0, if you have a tip, please leave a comment.

Now, get trackbacking!

  • Certain people will do anything to get a bit more publicity or to pitch their product. I dislike it, they take my resources and clutter my pages with useless noise. There are far better ways to drive traffic, like coming up with good content.
  • TrackBack is a mechanism for communication between blogs: if a blogger writes a new entry commenting on, or referring to, an entry found at another blog, and both blogging tools support the TrackBack protocol.
