But they aren't very reliable. I see some trackbacks my blog sends but hadn't got much of them from the posts that linked to me. Safe to ignore I guess. Trackbacks aren’t too bad.

Pings and trackbacks are awful things... I never understand why some blogs list them either, it just looks like a lot of nonsense clutter?! Thanks for the comment Rarst,

Changing title doesn't influence much and sometimes even beneficial like when post gets major updates. By the way I think bloggers gave up on pings. I had seen question "are they even doing something?" asked numerous times... And most of the the time all answers are negative. Also I've read mentions that because of faulty usage of ping in WordPress it can get quickly banned and ping into nothingness after that. Google, Technorati, etc are good at indexing - it's their business. It’s more about permalink than title.
