I do think it's a usability issue, at least for the unversed and uninterested, for whom trackbacks could be really important and useful tools if they weren't quite so obtuse. |
Another option that you have is to look at the trackbacks and pingbacks that your website receives if the data is available to you. |
Trackback spamming happens when trackbacks are abused to leave unrelated links on blog pages. |
This works for trackbacks and pingbacks too, and we even go the extra step of whitelisting domains that are in your blogroll. |
Then I dug around and sure enough, there were over 200 spammy trackbacks sent from January 5th through the 20th. |
Under this report, users can track social media referrals, landing pages, trackbacks, conversions, visitors flow, plugins, and more. |
