My blog has just been spammed… there was 500 over spam comments today.
Was I annoyed? At first, I felt irritated but later after a while, I was thinking these spammers are not really that smart. I mean don’t they realize that what they are doing are a total waste of time? Do they think that a blog that is lovingly built from scratch will allow their “meaningless” comments, spammy comments like “ekep wbai…” to stick?
I was surprised when I found out that many people did not understand what trackbacks are for.
This is a powerful linking technique that you can use to build some backlinks to your blog plus you get additional content for you to write about in your blog. And if you notice, some blogs already turned off commenting and only allows trackbacks. Thus it is important that you know how to do trackbacks for your blog.
Here is a video that teaches you how to do trackbacks :

I noticed that many beginner wordpress blog owners do not have any idea on what are the plugins to use on their new blog.
