Har du någonsin sett ”trackbacks” och ”pingbacks” i WordPress och känt dig förvirrad? Oroa dig inte, det är det många som gör. Det här är WordPress bloggverktyg som inte ens erfarna användare förstår fullt ut.
Vi har arbetat med WordPress länge och är väl bekanta med trackbacks och pingbacks. De kan vara till stor hjälp, men de kan också orsaka problem. De skapades för att hjälpa bloggar att prata med varandra, men nu missbrukar spammare dem ofta.
I den här przewodniken förklarar vi vad trackbacks och pingbacks är i enkla termer. Vi visar hur de fungerar och hur du kan använda dem (eller stänga av dem om du inte vill ha dem).
Använd gärna snabblänkarna under för att navigera mellan de olika ämnena i den här artikeln:
Vad är en trackback?
En trackback i WordPress gillar ett vänligt message mellan två websites. När en webbplats nämner eller länkar till ett post på en annan webbplats, skickar den en trackback för att låta den andra webbplatsen veta om det. Så här fungerar det:
- Låt oss säga att du skriver ett WordPress post. I your post inkluderar du en speciell link som anropas en trackback URL till ett annat post på en annan WordPress website. Det gillar en hemlig kod som finns i den länkade postens information.
- När du publicerar ditt post skickar din site en trackback till den link du inkluderade. Denna trackback innehåller details om din post, gillar dess Rubrik och en kort text.
- Den andra WordPress-webbplatsen tar emot din trackback och kontrollerar om det är en giltig och relevant länk. Det gillar en vänlig check för att se om din post passar bra med deras.
- Om allt kontrolleras visas trackback i kommentarerna i det länkade posten. Det ser lite annorlunda ut än vanliga kommentarer, som vanligtvis visar titeln på ditt post och ett snippet av dess content.
Vad är en pingback?
En pingback i WordPress är ett automatiskt message som en site skickar till en annan när den länkar till dess content. Så här fungerar pingbacks i WordPress:
- Du skriver ett post med en länk till ett annat post på en annan WordPress site.
- När du publicerar ditt post skickar din WordPress-webbplats automatiskt en pingback till den site du länkade till. Denna pingback innehåller details om your post, gillar dess Rubrik och en liten bit text.
- Den andra WordPress-webbplatsen får din pingback och kontrollerar om länken är bra och vettig. Det är en vänlig check för att se om din post passar bra med deras.
- Om allt ser bra ut visas pingbacken i kommentarerna i det länkade inlägget som en länk till din site.
Pingbacks fungerar också inom din site. Det innebär att om du länkar till en av dina egna artiklar på samma site, så kommer WordPress automatiskt att skicka en pingback till sig själv.
Detta anropas self-ping, och när du börjar blogga regelbundet kan du tycka att pings är irriterande. Oroa dig inte, de kan enkelt stängas av, vilket vi kommer att visa you senare i den här artikeln.
Vad är skillnaden mellan trackbacks och pingbacks?
Det är egentligen inte så stor skillnad mellan pingbacks och trackbacks. De gör båda samma sak men har lite olika tillvägagångssätt.
Den första skillnaden är att trackbacks är manuella, medan pingbacks är automatiska eftersom de använder olika kommunikationstekniker.
För det andra skickar pingbacks inte postens excerpt, medan trackbacks gör det.
Så här skickar du trackbacks och pingbacks i WordPress
Sedan WordPress 5.0 har möjligheten att manuellt skicka en trackback till andra bloggar tagits bort från vyerna i Block Editor. Det är inte många användare som använder den här funktionen särskilt mycket, och WordPress har redan aktiverat automatiska pingbackar som standard.
Men om du använder den klassiska Editorn finns funktionaliteten fortfarande kvar. Bara edit ett post i den klassiska editor, och du kommer att hitta alternativet att skicka trackbacks under redigeringsområdet.
Om du inte hittar boxen ”trackbacks meta” i den klassiska Editorn, clickar du på knappen ”Screen Options” högst upp till höger på vyn.
Du måste kontrollera boxen bredvid alternativet ”Skicka trackbacks”, och WordPress kommer att börja visa en skicka trackbacks-box under edit-området.
Så här granskar du pingbacks och trackbacks i WordPress
Enligt vår erfarenhet är 99% av all trackbacks och pingbacks skräppost. Det här är det enklaste sättet för spammare att få en backlink från din site.
I vårt fall ser vi ofta pingbacks från content scrapers (content-tjuvar) som kopierar hela våra artiklar ord för ord, inklusive alla links.
På grund av dessa links skickar deras blogg-programvara automatiskt pingbacks till våra artiklar.
De få gånger då vi tyckte att trackbacks/pingbacks var till hjälp var när legitima bloggare länkade till oss. De hjälpte oss faktiskt att ta reda på att vi var utvalda i Mashable och NYTimes.
Kort sagt, vi har funnit att 99% av all trackbacks/pingbacks är skräppost. Detta är anledningen till att vi har inaktiverat dem helt. Det är ej värt tiden att granska massor av skräppost.
Det finns andra sätt att ta reda på vem som länkade till dina artiklar. Det enklaste är att använda Google Analytics för att ta reda på vem som länkar till din site.
Med detta sagt, om du fortfarande vill använda trackbacks och pingbacks, är det bra att granska dem för skräppost. Vad du behöver göra är att gå till Settings ” Discussion i WordPress admin area.
Sedan, i ”Before a comment appears” section, check the box that says, ”Comment must be manually approved. Detta kommer att se till att trackbacks och pingbacks inte visas automatiskt och måste kontrolleras för skräppost.
Du kan sedan gå till området för moderation av kommentarer i WordPress för att kontrollera om pingbacks och trackbacks inväntar granskning.
Härifrån kan du approve, delete eller markera dem som skräppost.
Så här inaktiverar du Trackbacks, Pingbacks och Self Pings
Om du är trött på att få spammiga trackbacks och pingbacks, så finns det ett sätt för dig att inaktivera dem helt.
Gå bara till Settings ” Discussion page och avmarkera alternativet ’Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks)’.
Om du avmarkerar den boxen inaktiveras endast trackbacks och pingbacks för framtida poster (eller ej befintliga poster).
För att inaktivera trackbacks på befintliga inlägg måste du följa vår tutorial om hur du inaktiverar trackbacks och pingbacks på befintliga WordPress-poster.
Om du är trött på att din blogg självpingar sig själv, kan du helt enkelt installera och aktivera No Self Pings plugin. För mer detaljer, se vår Step-by-Step guide om hur du installerar ett plugin för WordPress.
Efter aktivering inaktiverar pluginet self-pings på din WordPress site.

Helpful article, been getting spam trackback notifications from someone who ran what almost appears to be a negative seo campaign
Jude Quin
I’ve been struggling with trying to understand this for years. I read the explanations over and over but it’s like a ”Whos’ on first?” dialog!
So, if my post includes a link to another article on the web, that site gets the ”pingback” notice? then, if they approve it, it appears as a comment under the article that I linked to? and that comment consists of a link to my article?
the track back is REALLY CONFUSING, the explanation appears to suggest that If I comment on an article on another blog, the track back links that post, with my comment, to one of my posts as a comment with title and excerpt from the other post..? whew! ..if this is correct, how is the track back sent? and how does it know which article I want my comment to link to?
Allen Underwood
It’s a little ironic – you must have gotten tired of the WordPress SPAM as well now that you’ve got Disqus!
I had installed Disqus on our site CodingBlocks.NET but we were still getting a TON of SPAM which I mistakenly thought was comment SPAM. Turns out it was trackbacks – I was grepping the log files on the server and saw a large number of these trackbacks which led me to your site (in search of an answer). It’s unfortunate that I have to disable this feature because of all the dishonest people out there – one of the fake trackback’s I received was from a DENTIST!! I mean seriously…anyways, thanks for the explanation of trackbacks, pingbacks and how to disable if necessary (which I believe is probably incredibly necessary nowadays).
kuldeep
how can we get pingback reference link for non wordpress sites and for facebook page etc
WPBeginner Staff
you need to ask the site owner to remove it.
WPBeginner Staff
you will need to ask them to remove it.
Allison
Is there a way to remove a trackback on another person’s site or do they have to do it? There is a link to my site on another site and I want it deleted.
Apologies if this posted twice. I refreshed and think it disappeared.
Allison
Is there a way to remove a trackback on a site you do not maintain? There is a link to my site on a third party site that I do not want there. Is there a way for me to make it go away or do I need to ask the site it’s on to remove it?
PixieHouse
I wonder – If I deactivate track/pingbacks at my site, yes even use a plugin to prevent such, do I still ping other blogs and eventually get a backlink every now and then?
Or does the deactivation goes both ways?
Allen Underwood
On that same settings page (Settings -> Discussion) where you can deactivate the trackbacks and pingbacks, there’s another option just above that (in WP 3.9.1) called ”Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from this article”. If you leave that checked then your blog will still attempt to send out pingbacks.
Clive Maloney
That was really helpful. Thanks. I’ve had a lot of spammy trackbacks and pingbacks but a recent legitimate trackback got me wondering.
Joy
If i allow a pingback that is legitimate just to see how it will look on a site, can i change y mind and delete it later?

JIRCAS posted a good question but it was never answered. I’m finding that a number of bloggers will post huge lists of links to ”other great posts on _____.” The blank, in my case, is to posts made in response to a weekly photo challenge. I will receive a pingback and while their post will be relevant to the challenge, I really see no value in allowing the pingback. Am I correct in this assumption? While I have a number of these being held for moderation, on the various posts in question, the link to my post still appears. If I don’t approve it, does this just mean that the link won’t work or that the link will work, but the pingback won’t appear as a comment on my post? So it turns into a one-way referrer to my post but I’m not reciprocating?
WPBeginner Support
SPFischer, Does the post linking to your post is really relevant to your blog? You see there are lots of people who run auto-blogging software and RSS aggregators. You don’t need to accept those trackbacks at all. However, blogging is very much like a discussion. You write something thought provoking on your blog and some other blogger builds their original content on your thoughts thats how the discussion moves forward in the blogsphere. So if you want, you can approve those trackbacks. However, we have noticed that the number of genuine trackbacks and pingbacks almost completely disappeared recently.

Thank you for this. I’m a new blogger and was confused on what they really do. Thanks for the clarification. I kind of had an idea but didn’t know the difference between pingbacks and trackbacks.
May I ask, whether it is good to allow them or to block them?
WPBeginner Support
If you are getting too many spam in trackbacks and pingbacks then block them. If you are getting some legitimate trackbacks from blogs and other sites in your niche then you should keep it.

I have a question if someone can answer for me please…
I unchecked Allow Link notifications from other blogs, and I also disabled trackbacks and pingbacks on existing wordpress posts…
…but do I still need to use the plugin called ”No Self Pings” if I want to stop self-pinging myself? Or will the 2 actions I performed above ensure that I won;t be self-pinged?
In Many Thanks,
Peter

Great article. I unchecked the allow link notification but still seem to be receiving a lot of spammy trackbacks. Are there any plugins you can recommend? We run a lacrosse pinnies site:
My other question is how do we go about gaining ”legit” trackbacks/pingbacks for our site. Thanks for your time. BP

Do you have Akismet enabled? You can approve legit trackbacks and pingbacks like you would moderate comments.
Administratör
Malik
I find that a LOT of people believe that, but it is not true. If you get a pingback, and look to edit it in the edit comments window, you will see that there is in fact an excerpt there. Almost no themes will allow it to display, but it is there just the same.
My question is this: Why is this such a technical challenge? Why can’t I use, for example, a whitelist of whose trackbacks and pingbacks I will accept, whether that’s based on author name, URL, IP address, having certain permissions/roles on my site, or whatever? Why wouldn’t that work? And if it will work, can you show me how to do it?
Thanks.
WPBeginner Support
We did mention it in the article that you can moderate pingbacks and trackbacks just like you would moderate comments. If you have comment moderation turned on, then all pingback and trackbacks would appear in the moderation queue. You can then approve or trash these trackbacks.

Hello…. I’ve had Trackbacks disabled ”forever”, but I constantly still get trackback notifications.
Why is this…. Please help, I’m tired of all the spam.
leeuniverse
Nevermind…. I just answered my own question due to your other post.
A small last statement in your other post gave me the clue. There were ”PRIOR POSTS” that had Trackbacks enabled before I disabled them.
That was the key. I just went into those posts and disabled trackbacks.
Thanks for the info.

Great article, even the off topic stuff (I’ll setup an avatar shortly).
I think for small or start-up blogs it’s a good idea to leave ping/trackback enabled and sort through the SPAM. I know it uses up time but each good link back to your site is so important in the early days and needs to be followed up as it could be a great source of traffic, or an opportunity for guest blogging etc.
Once the SPAM becomes unmanageable a filtering service could be used but eventually the SPAM will win and I agree that ping/trackbacks will need to be disabled.

So are trackbacks we let through then ”follow” links? Is there any way to set them as ”nofollow” links?
Mathew
Please Help: I have received many backlinks, but I very rarely ever see it as a ping back. I have ping back turned on in the settings. What could be my problem? I’m worried that if I don’t accept them then Google will not see it as a backlink. Is this true? When I internal link to another article it registers as a trackback not a ping back and it only links to the first link. For example if I have 5 recommend posts it will give a trackback ot the first one only. I’m worried my system is a mess and not working properly.
Editorial Staff
Pingbacks are not for Google and have no impact on your search engine rankings. You don’t receive pingbacks for every backlink that you receive.

Hey, I just wanted to go a bit off topic and talk about this as a user.
From a user point of view, ping-backs and trackbacks in the comment section of a blog are very confusing, especially if you don’t know what they are for. When you do know what they are for, it comes over as a hacked way of adding functionality to a site, the comment section is meant for comments about the content and not for relevant links after all
So if you feel like you should implement them, I would suggest to do it smart and add a special section on your page for them, or add them as a footnote in your post.
Just my 2 cents.
Jan
Let me understand…Does disabling trackbacks prevent anyone from linking your post to their blog? There’s another blogger that keeps pulling my posts, and I don’t want to be associated with their blog (we’re worlds apart on subject matter and they are clearly doing it to pull traffic to them). I have disabled trackback/pingbacks now. Thanks. I just need to stop this person.
Editorial Staff
No it doesn’t stop them from linking to your posts. It just removes the ability for them to have a chance of getting some publicity from your site if your theme displays trackbacks.

Hi,
Lets asume that my site A links to site B, site B approves the trackback and its shown on the blog post.
If i remove the link from site A what will happen with the trackback from site B?Will it remain or will be automaticaly deleted?
Thank you in advance.

The trackbacks/pingbacks will stay as is even if you remove the link. This is how spammers manipulate it…

Great article! Thank you so much for posting.
One question: I have a couple of wordpress.com sites and have turned off the pingbacks and tracksbacks. But I understand WordPress uses (and owns) Ping-o-matic. Can I assume that turning them off means Ping-o-matic does nothing for me then?
Is there something else I should be doing to make sure these web-site posts ”get out there”?
Thanks again!

Notice in the screenshot in the post, you are only unchecking the box that allows trackbacks / pingbacks on your site. You are not turning off the ability to send pingbacks.

I have an unrelated question.
I notice that people have personal ”avatars” and photos displayed with their comments on this page. Since I am looking into which commenting system is the best (for my purposes) I’d like to know where your ”log in” options are?
For instance, can I comment on this website through my Twitter account? Or can I create an account with you and add my own avatar? If so, how?
Thanks again!
Editorial Staff
Most commenting platforms use a service called Gravatar to pull the personalized images.

Thank you for explaining, although I still have no idea how I’d go about ”manually” sending a trackback? I assume I’d send them via the software I use to run my blog? I’ve never set up a blog or website before so I wouldn’t know.
Thanks again for the pointers!

You would send the trackback using WordPress (which is what will be powering your blog if you use it).

Hi, thanks for the information. I’m wondering if a WordPress blog sends a pingback if you use nofollow in that link? For example, say I do a round-up of recipes and link to my other friends’ WordPress blogs but add the nofollow tag to those links, will it still send a pingback to that blog to notify them of the content I wrote about them?
I’m having a few, what I think is, cron problems. Scheduled posts have never worked and neither do automatic backups. I’m pretty sure that my blog isn’t sending any pingbacks/trackbacks too but I can receive them from others.
Is there a way to test pick backs/trackbacks without writing a test post and bombarding my readers with an out of the ordinary test post? Or any other way to test and/or fix the issue?
Thanks in advance.
Editorial Staff
From as far as we know, it does send pingbacks even if it is a nofollow link. To test if your site is sending pingbacks, simply link to one of your older posts. Then see if your site sends a pingback to your own site. If it does, then it is working fine.
As for trackbacks, you have to manually send those.

Cheers, guys. All makes perfect sense once you understand it, but until then I was wondering why my site was throwing up trackbacks to everything I’d crosslinked internally.

Thanks this post about pings and track backs really helped me.
I have one question thought if it’s okay?
If we uncheck the box that allows trackbacks, how about those other bloggers that are really making a good comment. If they include their website as a back link, I think they deserve it?
Is there no way for us to allow that once we un check the box?
Please advise.

Short answer: No. If you want to give good bloggers the chance to get exposure, you have to deal with the spammers yourself.

Can you tell us that if we allow ping backs or trackbacks, it effects on our SEO or not? or if we don’t allow then?
Is there is any benefit of it or any thing dangerous with them?

If you allow trackbacks or pingbacks from bad neighborhood sites, it can negatively impact your SEO because you will be linking to bad neighborhood sites.

Luke Sousa
hey guy, I had the same question in mind as this guy…Kinda. What if the track back we’ve been notified of is self promotional, like a backlink we created ourselves on a web 2.0 site or something of that nature. If I disable the trackback simply because I don’t want it to show up on my site does that mean I lose credit for the link?
Editorial Staff
If you add a link of your site A to site B, then site B will send a trackback to your site A. The goal probably was to build link juice for Site A which is not affected at all by disabling trackbacks. However Site B will not get any juice because you do not accept trackbacks.
Think of trackbacks as Response Videos on Youtube (almost like a longer comment of your post that has other aspects to it).

While boasting of ”over 80,000 WordPress Users” on this website. There are websites, with quality content, attempting to gain mass audience but instead are hindered because many websites do not allow trackbacks/pingbacks and overuse ”no-follow”.
Established websites, boasting ”over 80,000 WordPress Users”, do not have that problem once established because they most likely used trackbacks/pingbacks in the past and once established: they dis-continue use and shut the door to smaller, legitimate, websites.
Editorial Staff
Since the very beginning of this website, we did not use trackbacks or pingbacks. In the early days, we didn’t disable them, but we had them removed from the theme. So even if you send a trackback to our site, it would never be visible on the site publicly. As the site grew, we saw an increase in SPAM which led to us turning it off entirely.
This is not a disservice that established sites are doing. Rather it is a disservice that spammers are doing by abusing a nice feature. Same thing happens on Youtube. On our account, we have so many spammy ”response videos”. Because of that, we don’t accept any response video. It comes down to how much you value your time. If you are willing to sort through thousands of spammy trackbacks to find one good one, then more power to you.
