Sending Pings and Trackbacks

Posted by John on Tuesday, 8 December, 2009

from: http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/ping/

Sending Pings and Trackbacks

This is not telling you what a Ping is, what a Trackback is or when and why you should use them.
If you want that information, head over to the WordPress Codex.
This page will tell you how to do them.
The example url I use is this one: http://wordpress.org/development/2006/04/wordpattern
Pinging
Pinging a post on another blog from your post is very easy. All you do is link to it.
The link in this screenshot goes to the post above.

That will cause a ping to be sent. Easy.

Self-pinging
If you link to a post you made earlier on your blog, you will ping yourself. Some people like this, others do not. A reason for you liking it is that if someone reads your old post and the comments, they will see that you have pinged the post and may follow that to see what else you have to say on that subject. You can choose whether to or not on each occasion.

Using the above url, if Matt wanted to link to that post in a later post he would use this as a link:
<a href=”http://wordpress.org/development/2006/04/wordpattern/”>
That should send a ping.

If Matt did not want to ping his own blog though, he could link to it like this:
<a href=”/2006/04/wordpattern/”>
This relative url will still link if you click it, but will not send a ping.

Sending a Trackback
A bit more work is needed for this.
Still using the same post on the WordPress development blog, you would start the same way:

Now you would go to the post on the blog and look for the ‘Trackback URI’ or somewhere that Trackback is written.

Once you have that link you need to find it’s location. In Firefox this would be Right-click on the link and ‘Copy Link Location’

Back on your blog, scroll down from the Write area to the ‘Trackbacks’ box and paste the whole link location into that box. It MUST start with http:// and it MUST end with /trackback/.

Now post and the trackback will be sent.

Q & A
1. Can I ping and trackback?
No. If you send both to one place, the trackback will fail.

2. I can’t send trackbacks?
- your trackback might be sent but the receiving site may choose not to show it.
- check you have sent it correctly
- use this Test Blog to test sending and receiving.
- check your webhost’s forums to see if others have this problem.
- post to the WordPress Support Forums and give details of what you have tried, who your host is.

What is Domain Name Analyzer?

Domain Name Analyzer is an award winning and free Windows and Mac OS X software for finding the best domain name for your product or business.

A large number of people refer to Domain Name Analyzer as the best software for searching domain names.

Domain Name Analyzer is completely free. There are no nag screens, no advertisements, no registrations and no payments.

Using Domain Name Analyzer is very easy.

Create Domain Names

1.From keywords… the program has a set of good keywords or you can specify your own.

2.Directly type in all the names you want to try in one go…

3.Import names from a text file: Convert all the words in an article or story to domain names. Great for getting domain names related to a specific subject!

Cleanup The Domain List

It is always a good idea to first remove the obviously unwanted names. Domain Name Analyzer has a clean and nice interface to do this very easily. You can even perform Trademark Lookup (using the US Trademark and Patents website) on a domain name with a single click and eliminate names that are trademarked.

Perform Domain Name Search

Start checking for available domain names with a single click! As the Bangkok Post article says… “We then sent DNA off on the web to check what names are available. DNA handles this beautifully. …. Nothing on the web is nearly as fast or as handy”

Register Domain Names

Domain Name Analyzer has a button that can be configured to point to your favorite registrar.

More Advanced Features

Domain Name Analyzer also allows you to Save Results for Future Use and then open it any time. You can export selected names to an Access Database, Text or HTML file. Take print outs, Copy names to clipboard. You can also check the payment status at Network Solutions with a single  click.

Domain Name Analyzer is Free! Here is another extract from Bangkok Post:

“When I say “free,” I mean it’s actually free. There are an increasing number of free programs these days that actually have a price-flashing, flashy advertising in a corner. ….. DNA doesn’t even ask for your email address to sell to spammers. Admirable, to say the least.”

Need More Power? Check out the advanced Domain Name Analyzer Professional!
