Oh, there’s no question that it’s a paid review.. My issue is with him endorsing it, knowing full well the type of “power” he has. I’ve declined plenty of Sponsored Tweets in the past, because I felt that they weren’t appropriate for my followers. Same concept.

Well every day I get to delete trackback spam from users of this or similar programs. Some of it is very sexual, some absolute non-sense, and some just annoying.

I’m in the opinion that is a product review John is doing. He did mention “… When I receive trackback from a blog post that doesn’t link to my blog, I reject it even if the topic is the same..”

I follow the link on John’s site an it end up in a minisite promoting the product from clickbank.

I agree, this product do have spamming element.

From http://www.johnchow.com/advertise/

Sponsored Reviews:
The blog accepts sponsored reviews at a rate of $500 per review. Sponsored reviews receive at least 12 hours as the top front page post. The gives your review maximum exposure to John Chow dot Com readers. You can read some of our reviews here.

To order a review, send all the information about your product or service and paypal $500 to johnchow@johnchow.com. The average review takes 3 to 5 days to complete.

I think that is the answer. And if the “service” does not help you create bogus trackbacks what exactly does it do? Gather blogs so you can manually make bogus trackbacks? No one is going to write a post and actually legit trackback 500 blogs on it.

By definition, the purpose of a TrackBack is to let a site know that you are referencing them on your on site. If you’re not actually referencing them, but just entering their link (so that you can get a backlink from them), it’s spam in my eyes..

When you enter a trackback link in WordPress it links back to the blog you submitted it to.

That’s not spam. You all are just overreacting. This software only collects the trackbacks, it doesn’t spam anyone.

If you aren't going to link to another site but you want to say "hey I wrote about this too" go make a comment there. Simple. .-= JadeDragon@innovativepassiveincome´s last blog ..Constant Content Tips: Hayley Writer Interview =-.

Barak,

A trackback without an actual link back to my site is considered spam in my book, no matter how you cut it.

I think you misunderstood how this software works. You’re going to submit trackblinks, but it’s a burden to find them and copy them. This software does that for you. It’s not spam software.

I’m with you. We do not need more trackback spam and promoting this trackback spam builder is pretty irresponsible. I don’t know if you accept trackbacks but I linked to your post to. http://www.innovativepassiveincome.com/good-trackbacks-and-trackback-spam/
