wordpress - trackbacks & automated ping

From now on, i will mainly concentrate on wordpress especially under the wordpress category. So, all you readers will not have any hurdles of sorting and searching the posts. If you are new to wordpress or want to make your wordpress into effective looks and functions, you can now start reading all posts under wordpress category.

trackback is quite an important function in wordpress. First of all, if you want to reference someone else’s post, you can use trackbacks. It is important we try to write our own words if you want to share truly. I am writing everything all on my own, granted, I cannot basically write alot but I am very proud of what i wrote to share with all you readers. 

In order to use trackbacks, just point to the original source of URL and when ping is successful, a link to your blogpost will be showed as a comment in a remote post. You can see an example here when I ping my own post from another one.  Therefore, your site will be displayed on original author’s blog comment, which is very good for displaying your URL on another site, also you actually give credit for using a reference. So, my point is, give credit to anyone when credit is due. You will be credited when you use your own words. 

Moreover, you can do automated ping services on the internet, that index hundreds of thousands of blog entries everyday. There are a few popular blog indexing services, of course, i will definitely list them here.

To update automated ping services,

Click settings, writings, scroll down.

You will see at the bottom, the title “Update Services”

there you can copy and paste these servers here for auto-ping as soon as your post is published.

http://rpc.pingomatic.com/ http://api.moreover.com/ping http://api.my.yahoo.com/rss/ping http://blogsearch.google.com/ping/RPC2 http://ping.bitacoras.com http://ping.feedburner.com http://ping.syndic8.com/xmlrpc.php http://rpc.blogrolling.com/pinger/ http://rpc.icerocket.com:10080/ http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping http://rpc.weblogs.com/RPC2 http://topicexchange.com/RPC2 http://www.blogdigger.com/RPC2 http://www.blogoole.com/ping/ http://www.popdex.com/addsite.php http://www.wasalive.com/ping/ http://www.weblogues.com/RPC/ http://blogping.unidatum.com/RPC2/ http://api.my.yahoo.com/RPC2 http://ping.blo.gs/

Separate each URL with Linebreak and you are good to go. Make sure you save changes and all done.

So, when you publish one post, wordpress will notify the ping services above, subsequently facilitaing your post to many sources and get your post more exposure.

Comments and suggestions welcome. And reference to my posts are more than welcome. :)  

Thanks for reading.
