Andy Beard - Internet Business Systems Discussion: Haloscan – How To Send a Trackback With Blogger (Part 1)

  • Tim · 2 years ago
    Andy,

    I tried testing between two of my blogs but haloscan came up with a "405 Error". Do you have any idea what this could be?

    Thanks

    Errors would either be that you didn't use the correct trackback URL, or that the blog receiving the trackback doesn't accept them.

    Blogger works on linkbacks thus there is no need to actually trackback.

    One more reason for not integrating incoming Trackbacks with Blogger is that they are scripted -- which is like Nofollow on steroids! :)

    I would be careful on removing NoFollow from Blogger's backlinks. Primarily for one reason, you cannot control them.

    Another service to send Trackbacks is Forret's Trackback Wizard and no registration necessary.

    Also, there is control in Firefox's Scribefire for sending pingbacks when you publish your post. This is the handiest method of all three, not to mention that it is probably one of the best Blog Desktop Publishing utilities that are still working for Blogspot (unless you want to pay for one).

    To quote some lyrics from a New Radicals song, "I think I just gave away the ending!" :)

    Sorry dude. I just noticed the "Part 1" in the Title.

    It is nice to see that you are helping to bridge the gap between Blogger and WordPress styled blogs. You can really see a rift sometimes when it comes to intermingling with each other.

    I still have a few blogger blogs out there, and this is also a redirected blogspot which makes things interesting.

    And you haven't really blown away much of the game, I do have a gem you might not have seen, just need to take the time to present it rather than just drop a bunch of links.

    There is also a nice reward at the end of the tunnel :)

    nice quick lesson Andy. I've been using HaloScan, but see room for more cross-platform automated options...

    Dan I think you will most likely switch to the second option I am in the middle of writing about, it is much more intuitive.

    Andy, I'm also using Haloscan in my blog but since today I don't know how to use the Trackbacks. I'm only use the Haloscan service for track my recent comment.

    Now, with the help from your article, I'll try using this type of service..

    Yes the lack of trackback on blogger IS annoying. I use haloscan but that has its problems as after integration I lost all my previous comments. Now I have a new blog I am considering my options.
