SpamFreeTrackback service and other major features introduced

Today we have introduced a couple of major features on Authorati:

Authorati SpamFree Trackback service:

How do SpamFree Trackbacks work?

• If you have not already done so, register your blog with Authorati.


• We will review your site and verify that it is not a spam blog.


• Once cleared, your blog can participate in SpamFree Trackbacks by incorporating the SpamFree Trackback FeedFlare in your blog posts.


• The trackback URL for your blog posts will be revealed only to other blogs on Authorati which have been likewise verified as not being a spam blog.


• Only trackbacks from blogs verified by Authorati will appear. All others will be automatically classified as spam and discarded.
