Are trackbacks dead?
While I always believed in the ability of trackbacks to generate traffic and inter-blog discussion, as well as auto-alerting other bloggers that you have commented on their material...are they dead? Did the spammers kill them as an effective tool for bloggers? Half the time they don’t work between platforms. I have a HELL of a time tracking back to most MT blogs. I can’t trackback to anything on Typepad. Blogger works sometimes. Haloscan works about half the time. Wordpress does OK, as long as the blogger hasn’t gone crazy with security plugins. WP can usually tell between a real trackback and a spammer though.
So...is it even worth having trackbacks enabled anymore?
