Backlink code test

One of the easiest ways to encourage readers to link back to your blog posts is by adding the backlink (or trackback) code at the end of each post. If your post is useful or informative enough, people would want to mention it in their blog. Providing the link code would make it easier for them to properly do so.

Do you like this post? Please link back to this post by pasting the permalink code below in your blog post’s HTML.

URL:
<data:post.url/>
HTML link code:
<a href="<data:post.url/>"><data:post.title/></a> BB (forum) link code:
[url=<data:post.url/>]<data:post.title/>[/url]

Here’s how to do it.

You will need to add the code below to your template HTML. Once added the backlink code will be automatically generated at the end of every post.

1. Go to Dashboard > Design > Edit HTML.
   
2. Back up your template.
   
3. Tick the  Expand Widget Templates check box on top right of the HTML window.
   
4. Paste the following code right under <data:post.body/> or  

   <b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == &quot;item&quot;'>
   <p>Do you like this post? Please link back to this post by pasting the permalink code below in your blog post’s HTML.</p>
   URL:
   &lt;br /&gt;
   <textarea id="url" onclick="this.focus();this.select()" readonly="readonly" rows="1" style="width: 100%;" title="Click to highlight"><data:post.url/></textarea>
   HTML link code:
   &lt;br /&gt;
   <textarea id="HTML-code" onclick="this.focus();this.select()" readonly="readonly" rows="1" style="width: 100%;" title="Click to highlight">&lt;a href=&quot;<data:post.url/>&quot;&gt;<data:post.title/>&lt;/a&gt;</textarea>
   BB (forum) link code:
   &lt;br /&gt;
   <textarea id="BB-code" onclick="this.focus();this.select()" readonly="readonly" rows="1" style="width: 100%;" title="Click to highlight">[url=<data:post.url/>]<data:post.title/>[/url]</textarea>
   </b:if>

   This link boxes will only appear on post pages.
