How to get maximum visibility using Pingbacks

So, your already using WordPress, but your struggling to get visibility, you feel like all the big communities are ignoring you. Well here’s a tip to improve your site’s traffic.

The tip is very simple to implement, first login to your WordPress blog, and click “Options” then “Writing”, or you can use this link: YOURBLOG/wp-admin/options-writing.php. At the bottom you should see a box that looks like this:

 

In that box, you may already have an entry or too, most common is pingomatic, then in that box paste this content.
