Pingback and Trackbacks Comments is good for site or bad

[yesweus]

Hello Everyone,
I am doing SEO for biscoot.com but previous SEO guy build lots of links using Pingback and Trackback comments and use one keyword every time "Hindi Song". We dropped ranking in google for this keyword. So what should i do now. Help me out

The few times when we found trackbacks/pingbacks to be helpful when legit bloggers linked to us. It actually helped us found out that we were featured in Mashable and NYTimes. In short, we have found 99% of all trackbacks/pingbacks to be SPAM. This is the reason why we have disabled it entirely. It is not worth the time to moderate a lot of SPAM like this.

Completely up to you.

If a blog links to your post (yay! you've got a link!), it's good for your link building and search engine rankings. If you link right back to them by publishing their trackback, you are basically creating a reciprocal link, effectively canceling the SEO benefit you got when they linked to you in the first place. Makes sense?

However, many SEO blogs do publish trackbacks, so my logic on the issue might be faulty.

If you do choose to publish WordPress trackbacks, just make sure they don't lead to a spammy website.

While Google might not spank your site simply because a spammy site linked to you (since you don't have much control over who links out to you), they are much more likely to give you a penalty if you end up linking OUT to a spammy site yourself – after all, whom YOU link out to is entirely under your control.

While they both can serve a genuine purpose, they can also cause problems in terms of misleading your readers, maliciously or deceptively adding irrelevant links to your blog posts, and even negatively affecting your site's position in the search engines. They can also be useful to site owners as they provide a notification of when someone has mentioned your work. This allows you to visit the site and interact with the publisher. This could be to  confirm what they've written, start a conversation, dispute an issue or defend your claims.

Hi,

Building too many link on short time is really very bad for SEO point of view.

You should take care about your link building time and niche.

You should only create link only on your related topic.

Thanks
