More on Pingback vs TrackBack on Hixie’s Natural Log.
How embarassing – he points to my referrers as a typical list. :) Mine are crap. Look at how Mark Pilgrim handles referrers. Yesterday I was working at making my referrer tracking harvest titles, clean out false links, and collapse redundant backlinks, but [...]
