HOW TO GET TRAFFIC FROM TRACKBACKS If you trackback someone else's blog post you are leaving a link that points back to your blog. Someone who reads the blog article may click through from the link and visit your blog. In some cases, if they are not using the "nofollow" tag, you get some PageRank juice (not sure what PageRank is? Read this short introduction - http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/275/pagerank-explained/) which will help your search engine rankings. DEFINITION: NOFOLLOW The "nofollow" tag is a line of code that some blogging systems, such as WordPress, implement automatically. The tag is added to every link left in comments and trackbacks so the search engines don't follow the link (humans however view it like a standard link so can follow it like normal). Its supposed purpose is to stop people spamming blog comments purely for links but it really doesn't work that well as a deterrent.

I use it on all my blogs. You can read more about it here - http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/236/no-more-nofollow/
