      Hi i am trying to learn how to use track backs as a way to get link exposure. Cana anyone please explain to me the importance of them and how to use them please.

      Would i use one by putting a link back to my site or am i wrong on this.

        First, a caution that a lot of blogs have disabled trackbacks because of spam. Trackbacks are when you look at a blog post and see the comments, then you see mentions of that post. The trackbacks are the mentions where other people have provided a link.

        Used in an authentic way, you would write a post and link to someone else. The link to your post shows up on their blog, if they haven't gotten fed up and disabled it. I don't deal in this area too much, but my guess is those will be fairly weak links because of all of the spam that is out there.

          there is an article site that i came across and i was going to put an article on it but stopped myself because i did not understand the trackbacks. it allows you to put the article on the site and then at the bottom is ask you if you would like to put a track back, i did not understand what it was asking me so i did not write the article.

          Should i have let it blank or should i have put the site down that i want to promote

          • Ideally should a 301 or 302 redirect be used from https://www.site.com to http://www.site.com? Is there a valid reason to use a 302 in this situation or would using a 301 have any negative impact on seo?
