If there really is no such thing as a stupid question....

Perhaps this is it.

Can anyone tell me what a TRACKBACK is?

Thanks

Hello,
If done correctly a very good way to get a back link. Search "what is a trackback" or something to that in google and I bet you will find many great answers.

Thanks Steve....while we're at it.....is it possible for a SINGLE adsense click to payout 89 cents?

[Kangaroo Jack]

Yes. If you target your keyword correctly that could turn into $1's per click.

0.89c a click is very good.

[DLHMG]

I guess I did something right.....now if only I can figure out what it was!

LOL

0.89c a click will reduce the number of clicks to get that $4,000,000 yacht

A trackback is when you talk about someone else's blog post and wordpress automatically lets that blog know that you are talking about them.

Then it add's an excerpt of your post title into their comments (usually) or trackback section, therefore linking back to your site.

Of course you need to link to their site to get the trackback.

So its kind of like.

"hey I was reading blah blah's blog at linkhere about etc etc"

That will in turn hit their blog post with a trackback request.

I use it quite often when I am talking about a topic, find blogs related to that topic and mention them properly in the post. Gives a good link back and some extra exposure.

Thats about how it looked when I read about it after doing a search...thanks for putting it in terms that make sense to those of us that can't leap buildings in a single bound!
