Thanks for the advice. I will definitely go back on some of my more popular posts that are still being visited and try to direct some of that traffic to newer posts, too. Thanks for sharing those tips with me. :)

As for the reverse-referrals, you’re right - it’s a bit time consuming, but here’s a tip. What I did was look at my webalizer logs to see what posts were being consumed - then went back to those posts from the past to see if they had anything that related to a more recent post. That way I was linking forward from posts that were still getting a lot of hits. That saves time going through your entire archive looking for these opportunities.

As for your problem with trackbacks, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not great with technical stuff and inner workings, to be honest with you. The only advice I would probably have is to go through your options and make sure you have them enabled, but of course you’ve done that already. Maybe some piece in the coding of your blog’s theme is stopping the trackbacks? I wish I could be of more help. Good luck!

That way, if a search engine finds something I wrote a year ago, that post might then refer to something more recent and keep people interested.

One problem I continue to have, however, is that trackbacks still don’t work on my site. I’ve tried just about everything from the wordpress support forums, but if someone links back to a post on my blog, I never see it. I’ve done multiple tests from other blogs I have, and nothing…it’s very frustrating.
