Link building is the most valuable part of search engine optimization (SEO). Therefore, many webmasters uses almost any possible way to gather as much as backlinks possible. One of the most common used techniques to get backlinks from related blog post is by using pingback and trackback. In most cases, it is also called as “link bait” technique. Rise in autoblog numbers increases the trackback and pingback type of link baits used vastly. Almost all my new blog post will receive at least 20 trackbacks and pingbacks within few hours of posting. Most of the sites that give link are autoblogs that fetches content using RSS from other blogs. It is used to get more contents published in their blog in order to get more organic traffic.
What most autoblog webmaster doesn’t realize is the content duplicate issue. Google has its own way to detect duplicate content and only that origin content will get listed. Other duplicate content will be removed from Google search result listings. However, there are some duplicate posts still lurking in search results and waiting to get penalized. This can be considered as a quick way to increase popularity for a domain name. Although, it could lead to penalty; it is still a shortcut to gain quick popularity. Plus, some sites even hide the link to your page. Surely, some “black hat” SEO method involved there. Don’t fall for this trick anymore.
If you receive any trackback or pingback, make sure to check whether it is genuine. Giving link to a link to a bad neighborhood site can get you penalty from Google as well. Search engine loves blogs that moderate comments and trackbacks. A good site will monitor its entire outgoing links, thus it will get reputation and ranking in search engine results position (SERP). I’m not a big fan of link exchange. But, giving trackback and pingback is similar to link exchange. If someone link to your blog post, you will receive a trackback or pingback request. If you publish it, you are giving a link back to that particular site. Google also doesn’t like excessive link exchanges and may lead to penalty as well. Are you still publishing trackback and pingback? Think again.

Google said that they have the way of dealing it. However, they still wants website owners to manage their sites personally. That’s the reason why moderation should always be in consider, in comments and trackbacks like this.
It is better to do in-house moderation instead expecting Google to understand it. Good moderated site shows high quality to many.
Thanks! Some tags I use (usually medical terms) often bring trackback from outside. I thought they were harmless though, since they’re nofollow links. I’ll be more careful next time.
Either it is nofollow or dofollow, outgoing links to bad neighborhood sites hurt our site.

Great post. Black hat SEO’s will be penalized for a month. whether it is blog or website no matter.
For long term retention of online visits one should give what the user what and not for SEO rest will be taken care by the SE’s
Penalty duration is only measure by Google. Some penalties are not removed for more than a year. It is not under our control.
first time here. visiting from imcurtain…
Good to see you from Imcurtain, Jason.
I give backlink to internal site pingbacks, and to friends’ sites. In all other cases, it depends on the kind of trackback: if it’s a genuine backlink, I do; if it’s duplicated content, then I remove it.
It’s good to monitor your trackbacks and pingback.
Do you think re-phrasing is not enough to hide the duplicity?
It depends on the % of rephrasing level. Usually, they can detect if reconstruction done poorly.
I think this auto blog can use for flipping domain.
Usually, domain owners use this method to gain high pagerank in shortest period of time.
