I have gathered a large list of tools and plugins that create a list of incoming links on to your blog’s sidebar or other part of your blog. By adding a list of incoming links and trackbacks on your blog, you are offering webmasters an incentive for linking to your blog or articles and in return increasing incoming links to your blog. I haven’t tried it yet, but I am going to add a list of incoming links onto my blog as soon as I get some time. I have read many articles, and asked several successful bloggers, and they all recommend adding a list of trackbacks or incoming links onto my blog because it increases blog traffic substantially. One more note for bloggers who want to increase traffic to their blogs. A new site BlogRush is hitting the blogosphere hard and has been hit by massive amounts of traffic. It is a bar that lists a few article titles wit similar topics to yours. In return, your article titles will be listed on someone else’s site with similar content as yours. Let me know if it works out for you. Okay, on to the plugins and tools for incoming links to your blog…it is listed below:

LIST OF PLUGINS & TOOLS THAT ADD LISTS OF INCOMING LINKS OR LISTS OF TRACKBACKS ON YOUR BLOGS’ SIDEBAR

Trackbackers Wordpress Plugin - Using your trackbacks, Trackbacker allows you to display a list of those domains that link to you the most. Great for sidebars, Trackbackers allows you to easily limit the number of results that are returned and display the number of trackbacks each domain has sent your way.

Trackback List Wordpress Plugin - Two functions that can be used to display the list of sites that link to your post (or page). If there are no trackbacks, there is no output!

TrackPing Separator Wordpress Plugin - A plugin for counting trackbacks and pingbacks separately, like MT and other blogs. It provides functions for your template to use to show counts, and list out all of pingbacks/trackbacks in the article page.

DoFollow is the latest way to spread link love to your readers and it is indeed growing rapidly. At first, I haven ‘t given much attention to the dofollow movement since eventhough you have spam blockers like Akisment installed, people can still spam your posts by leaving meaningful comments just to get backlinks. The Dofollow Trackbacks plugin to share your link love only with the people who has found your post valuable enough to link it on their blog.

Recent Trackbacks 1.0 - Returns the last x trackbacks on your specified weblog.

PHP Trackback - A simple, portable PHP class with full TrackBack capabilites. Ping trackback URIs, receive trackbacks from other clients and seed pages for auto-discovery. The class also extract links from a given string and search these links for trackback URIs.

TrackbackList Plugin - The plugin adds functions that will list trackbacks. The plugin page provides instructions on seperating regular comments from trackbacks and pingbacks.

Reveal Incoming Links on Your Blog: Wordpress Plugin - In WordPress normally when you login to your blog, you will see incoming links in the dashboard. This plugin (Who Link Here 0.2) will allow you to display these links outside on your blog. After you have activated the plugin, you will display all the latest blogs that link to you.

TechnoBot/Python Technorati Cosmos Tool - This python script will retrieve the technorati cosmos for a URL via the technorati API. It will create a file containing html that can be included in the sidebar of a blog showing a list of recent inbound links via technorati.

WP-Most Commented Posts - Displays the posts with the most comments in the sidebar.

Technorati Incoming Links Widget - This widget will display your blog’s incoming links from Technorati in your sidebar in a similar way to what you see on the Wordpress dashboard. You can see it in action on this site’s sidebar. To use it you will need the Wordpress widgets plugin with a widgets compatible theme and a Technorati API key.

WhoLinked Plugin for Blogs - The plugin for WhoLinked is available for Wordpress, Blogger, TypePad, MoveableType, Other blog software, and your website. This plugin is a way of thanking people who link to your blog by placing a ‘Sites Linking Here’ on your sidebar. Great way to get more bloggers and websites to link to your blog.

How To Display Incoming Link Using Technorati Blog Reaction RSS Feed - Technorati Blog Reaction is updated whenever there is other blog linked to your blog. The links could come from anywhere either from the sidebar, footer or inside any post. As soon as Technorati has detected the linking, it will update the list.

Trackback Wiki Nucleus - The Trackback plugin has the ability to autodetect trackback URLs as-you-type. Everytime you use a link to another weblog in your story, the plugin will contact that weblog and check if it accepts trackbacks. If it does, it will add it to the list of trackbacks on your ‘Edit Item’ page. Simply check the trackbacks you want to ping or if you want you can also manually specify an trackback URL. In order to receive trackbacks you do not have to do anything, except for making the trackback URL known. You can do this by including one or more skin or template variables. It is also possible to include a list of the most recent trackbacks on every page by using a skin or template variable.

SimpleComments - TrackBacks are comments. They are comments left on someone else’s site rather than your own, but they are comments nonetheless. Movable Type makes a distinction between entry comments and TrackBacks that seems artificial, and it made more sense to me to have TrackBack ping data appear within the comments portion of a Movable Type site. SimpleComments is a new plugin that will let you do just this. Comments and Trackbacks are merged into a single list. Comment counts include the number of TrackBack pings, and best of all, you don’t need to learn new MT tags in order to do this.

Who Link Here - (In Spanish but still usable in English) - The Who Link Here plugin gives you the option of pulling in your links from Technorati or Google Blog Search. Getting your incoming links from Technorati requires an API key, a term I still don’t fully understand. Anyway, this pushed me into choosing the Google Blog Search option which works very nicely.
