Trackback Submitter

Trackback Submitter is one of most populars link building tools used by spammers and lovers of black SEO. Developed by unknown spammer from Europe on September 2006, Trackback Submitter became very popular because of its ability to bypass comment spam protection used on popular blogging systems like Wordpress.

Overview

Trackback Submitter is based on PHP programming language and works on Apache powered servers which have cURL and Zend Optimizer installed. Script uses specified keywords to find thousands of blogs which have comments posting enabled. Once script finds related blog, it generates random comment automatically (if not pre-defined by user) and submits this comment including one or more backlinks to spammer's website. Then tool determines if comment was accepted successfully and ads blog URL to reports page.

Effectiveness

Once Trackback Submitter was covered on Search Engine Journal as the most dirty links building tool on the Internet, its popularity increased dramatically and blog owners were forced to disable trackback feature completely or moderate each comment to PReVENT this script hacking their spam protection plugins like Spam Karma. Unfortunately, it indicates that blog spam is still very popular today and it's very hard to protect any site from spammers.
