Links and Trackbacks in Blog Posts

As you can observe from many blogs, they always include links within the content post. Well this either to cite an original source of information, or to provide a breadcrumb trail and a tap on the shoulder to bloggers whose posts you are linking to in the form of a trackback. This trackback will generate a link that serves as an additional source of traffic to your blog.

Blog Posts Images

As a reader, you also check the publication dates of the blog post.

The Blog Post Title

This means that your titles help drive traffic to your blog. Always be careful in using your keywords so that search engines will not consider your blog as spam.
