Hi this is Pamela Kramer I'm bringing you part two of a how to tip on pingback notifications.
Kristin Barclay from InDeepH2O.com she wasn't receiving her pingback notices whenever someone
mentioned her blog.
I got a notification in Facebook. She wanted to know if she should have received a pingback
based on the article that I wrote when I referenced her site and indeed she should have.
I began to look at her listings of pings. There are several you can ping (meaning urls)
but in Kristin's case she has not burned her feed yet. This is why she did not have a large
list in this section. She only had this one particular link here which is pingomatic and
it might have been enough I'm not sure but I went ahead and added these extra two and
saved the changes.
Then I went through her spam folder to see if I could find where I had linked and I thought
maybe it went to spam but I noticed the date and by the time I got to the end the date
still wasn't there. I knew that wasn't it. I had to keep looking.
So I checked here in her theme in the back end under comments and trackbacks. I noticed
that on trackbacks are enabled only on posts. Her options are posts or pages which got me
to thinking where did I link to her website? Did I link to a post or a page? In fact I
did not.
Her site is actually set up with only these categories up her in her navigation bar. There's
not an about page. She has this side blurb that tells you what she is about and what
she blogs about but her contact me is an email address.
On that note I went ahead and changed on my the back end, the back end of my post. I changed
this url to her Delivery Man movie review with Vince Vaughn and clicked the update and
went back to her site and here it is!! The pingback is right here so she is good to go!
Hopefully that helps someone else out there if you are having that problem and if you
would like you can check out my site at PamelaMKramer.com let me know if you have any questions. Maybe
I can help you out and we will keep recording these videos and putting them out there and
hopefully this will help others.
You guys have a great day, have a great weekend TGIF!
