DigBack

01/13/07 | by Joseph A. di Paolantonio [mail] | Categories: Blogging

I noticed that GoBloggit has a single post from their blog trackbacked to two of my blog posts. The first one to which they trackbacked was somewhat related, at least to part of my article, the second trackback, not so much. I almost deleted both after the second one today, thinking it was blog spam, even though I had responded with two comments to the GoBloggit post. Then I saw that GoBloggit is using DigBack.

DigBack is a desktop application that helps you get more readers and more traffic to your blog. It searches the Internet for blog articles of similar content to your own and puts a link in the articles of those blogs.end quotation

Is this blog spam? It certainly doesn't seem to be an effort to enter into a conversation. I'm letting it go for now. Certain aspects of DigBack seem useful; but that second trackback, with no relevance to my post at all, shows that DigBack isn't going to be good for blogging as it's easily misused, even if inadvertently. It even trackbacks to GoBloggit's own post multiple times. Not good.
